You didn't set the In link url setting. It needs to be the URL to your site, forums, or whatever else you want it to be.

derekivey, Thank for your quick reaspond! Which .php or html file can I edit to link to my topsite?

Are you talking about the on in Toplist_HTML_Code?

I found this: <td><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/in.php?id=$id" target="_blank"><img src="$vboptions[bburl]/images/toplist/buttons/toplist.gif" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input type="button" value="$vbphrase[toplist_select_all]" onclick="code1.focus();code1.select();" /></td>

</tr>
<tr>
<td><textarea name="code1" cols="40" rows="4" readonly="readonly"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/in.php?id=$id" target="_blank"><img src="$vboptions[bburl]/images/toplist/buttons/toplist.gif" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a></textarea></td>
</tr>

Where can I edit to link to my topsite?

I think it is working now when I edit this link. Thank! Angkor

I edit from in.php to /forums/toplist.php

I found this: <td><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/forums/toplist.php?id=$id" target="_blank"><img src="$vboptions[bburl]/images/toplist/buttons/toplist.gif" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a></td>
</tr>

What code removes the image that shows the rank and stuff on an image. It seems that only sites that use the image to link back keep getting deactivated from the toplist.

Decided to make a little template hack, not complete yet but looks good on my site. Wanted bigger buttons (450x100)

Really like this toplist, works very well. All i need now is for someone to figure out how to fix the random button to fit my layout lol.

My toplist

posted the template hacks in template mods, link is in the addon box.

why would you need to edit the code when all you have to do is go in admincp and change the Toplist Layout since its already included? Use the large buttons one and your fine.

Toplist Layout

Select the layout you would like to use below. This affects the toplist.php page only.

I don't like the large button one.

I was referring to what you call buttons, I suppose.
The column that is titled banner, to the right of the site link and description.
For some sites these banners have disappeared both in the backend and in the toplist.

No it's a setting...

AdminCP --> Toplist --> Toplist Options

look for the In URL setting...

You have to edit the Toplist_HTML_Code template (I think thats what I named it).

Did you delete the images/toplist/buttons/sites folder or the files inside it?
