Description: This hack adds a Toplist to your forums. You can choose in the AdminCP whether to rank the sites by their In hits or their Out hits. It is fully phrased to make it easy to translate to another language if you need to. The users are able to add a site, edit, or delete their site if they added it. The Administrators can Edit the users' sites or Delete them.
This hack is for vBulletin 3.5.5.
*** I Strongly Recommend That You Backup Your Database Before Installing/Upgrading This Hack! ***
Planned features for a later release:
Add Image Storage Setting (hot linking or upload)
Add Stats Page [ Will be released later ]
Add API to get site info onto non-vB pages and other vB pages.
Add Site Comment System
Fix bug with & not being allowed in URLs [ Done ]
Add Setting to choose where to put Toplist Sites Marquee
Thanks for implementing the up/down since last ranking period. Also don't forget a 3rd image (remained the same). It will help the layout flow better. Perhaps a dot or a dash.
Oops, forgot about that image. DementedMindz and b6gm6n, can you guys please make one representing no change in rank? Perhaps maybe make it yellow or black? Thanks .

- In AdminCP, select ranking cycle as either day/week/month. This would reset the counters daily/weekly/monthly. So after the time period it would be clean slate and the ranking would start at zero again. Yet the up/down/same graphics would tell you what happened to the site since last ranking period.
- I know you said it would be hard to do, but (at least for me) the IN/OUT hits aren't really needed, if you're ranking by pageviews, would be great if you could hide the other columns and just display pageviews.
- In addition, calculating average figures, would be great too.
- Ranking could be by either actual pageviews (the number of visitors to the listed page) or average pageviews (based on whatever history you have - or say the last 10 ranking cycles)
- I already love the statistics page !!!
- I believe you already implemented this, but it's not working for me very well. I would love for the topsites script to count all the pageviews that the listed sites are getting, even if no one actually visited the forum or topsite. basically if I'm ranking by pageviews and the listed site got 5000 visitors, I'd love the script to rank them at 5000, even though 300 were guests from my forum. I hope you know what I mean. Have it count pageviews independently from vb/topsite visitors. This is actually a dream come true for me! This is the muscle behind AArdvarkTS
I have a strange problem in admincp when someone submits a site and I go to approve it I get this. There are %1$s sites in the Toplist to be validated. To view and validate them, go here. Then when I recieve the email it dont show the site it shows this.
Site Name: Array[sitename]
URL: Array[url]
Description: Array[description]
Username: Wicked
A topsite layout like this would be nice. It pretty much has everything you can ask for. You can use small buttons to large banners for images and it has a nice stats page also.
yeah but you have to worry about members with dark themes also. keeping it light will allow most members to use it, if not you can always change the color easy.
True that, but if the site position didn't change, you let it be, don't need to be flashy if things remained the same. UP/DOWN you shine some colour... on a flip side, true - easy enough to change it to fit your skin

I'll probably keep the layout like it is. I will although have a new setting in the next version to have the buttons shown beneath the site name in the same column, so site owners can switch to that if they wish.
