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.

Hey Derek, just a reminder here since you're updating this hack:

After submitting a new site, the width of each column for site codes, etc. break on fixed width forums.

Sorry for the delays guys. Our server was hacked, so I've been busy fixing it, we had to get an OS reload done and set everything back up. I will have the release out soon.

@ubblite: know how I can fix it?

This hack uses the vBulletin functions and stuff. I guess the links are dynamic, they are all .php files.

nice work Derek but only one error not Valid XHTML

Line 49 column 156: end tag for "optgroup" which is not finished

[DementedMindz]

noticed another problem :surprised: ok say you have a out link like this...

http://example.com/modules.php?name=MS_TopSites&file=in&id=123

it turns it into this and makes it not work..

http://example.com/modules.php?name=MS_TopSites&file=in&id=123

[DementedMindz]

look at the other layout options

[angkor408]

Thank for the updated! I got " Register User" got an option delete now. Is there a way under " Forum Toplist" to have the site description and name in the middle instead, not tothe left site. As for the "Randon Site" It appear to be fine as how it look. Angkor

Here my toplist link:

another thing i see that is strange is if you refresh your admincp then try to edit templates the toplist dont appear but if you search for say top it will show them...
