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! ***

Derekikey, I login to my admincp >toplist>toplist option there no optoin for URL setting.

But what I have done is edit the in.php to my url it work fine now. I'm not sure if other function will work. I was able to click on the image and every site have different ID which seem to link correctly too.

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>
<tr>
<td><input type="button" value="$vbphrase[toplist_select_all]" onclick="code1.focus();code1.select();" /></td>

QUOTE=derekivey;1149592]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?[/QUOTE]

Of course not. That's why I contact you. I didn't even touch the folder/images.

Hey is there away to add a random link from the toplist to the forum home?

It's called In Redirect URL. It's right under the Sites per Page setting... Your file edit probably isn't going to help as that will be replaced when you upgrade to newer versions...

Can you either paste a link to your site here or PM it to me so I can take a look?

That will be possible once the API is done (hopefully in the next version).

vBulletin settings, all the sites (name, description, in hits, out hits, views, votes (number of ratings), ratings), categories, a table to keep track of who clicked out links or in links to prevent cheating.

That's all that I can think of right now...

Here's the link: Chubbyparade toplist

There are some entries in the toplist that are bannerless, but there's a lot of missing banners.
I know for sure that I uploaded for example the banner for xx-cel, and it was showing fine. But now it's gone.

But not all banners disappeared, only about half of them was not working anymore all of a sudden.

You have an error in your upgrade instructions... it says, for the cron-job

Filename: ./includes/cron/toplist_rankings.php

but this is meant to be toplink_ranks.php


Also, when you edit a site, it seems to forget which category it's meant to be in...

[Shazz]

Never noticed it went away from the catagory

Hmm... Odd. Can you go into PHPMyAdmin, and look to see whats in the imagecode field for one of the sites that the image disappeared on? You can find them in the toplist_sites table.

Thanks I must have forgot to change that part in the readme file. I'll get it changed and reupload it.

I'll see if I can confirm the problem with the category too.

[derekivey]

Thanks. I can confirm this and have fixed it for the next version.

Upload the attached file to fix it.
