Description: Topsites script for people who's sites revolve around vbulletin.

This script I actually wrote several months ago, and now I finally decided to release them on vb.org.

anyway, i might post screenshots, but the admin stuff isnt much to see, i basically just explained it up there ^ :-p
If you have any questions, etc, post them

FYI: a more advanced script is in the works by me, which will be free from vbulletin and including many more features,
like a user rating/comment system. This will be 10$ or so, and more details are available if you pm me (dont discuss it here)

Thank you for using this hack! i know i dont usually post my stuff, well here you go ^_^

I will try it out. :) Looks good.

What should the rank and default buttons look like?

Anything you would like. genereally they are little 31hx88w pixel images, with numbers on them.

oh, i should add that each image be saved X.gif, where X is the number that it is.

erm, missing more instructions >.<

open up the file called 'sinc.php'
and update the information contained at the top. its your db name, password, user, basically what appears in config.php of your admin/ folder.

this is used in the hit file, and because of it hits arent as server intensive as they would have been.

EDIT: zip file updated with last two changes

Where should that file be uploaded? The instructions don't say.
Also, I don't see the new zip.

ah...i guess it is updating the upload >.> vb3 does that...

well, it was just instruction changes

and create a folder anywhere you want, on any site you want.

add the buttons you make to it. be sure to create a 'default.gif' image. (numberless) remember the url you place them in, so you can fill it in upon doing your options

ill attach it again here EDIT, nm -_- stupid vb3...now the attachment is 'being uploaded' oh well

So, upload the sinc.php anywhere? lol. I'm not getting it.

in sinc.php, find

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

error_reporting(7);



$servername="localhost";

$dbusername="";

$dbpassword="";

$dbname="";

$technicalemail = "";

$usepconnect = 0;

and fill out the corresponding values with what appears in your admin/config.php file

PHP Code:


		
			
// type of database running

// (only mysql is supported at the moment)

$dbservertype = 'mysql';



// hostname or ip of server

$servername = 'localhost';



// username and password to log onto db server

$dbusername = 'db_user';

$dbpassword = 'db_pass';



// name of database

$dbname = 'db_name';



// technical email address - any error messages will be emailed here

$technicalemail = 'YOUR_NAME@SOMETHING.com';



// use persistant connections to the database

// 0 = don't use

// 1 = use

$usepconnect = 0;

its that easy, sinc.php is actually a boiled down version of alot of pages, for the mere fact of connecting to the db during the topsites_hit.php page

*trying not to sound like a complete idiot* Okay..I know all that, but where should I upload the file. To the main directory or the admin. lol
