one last thing would you mind twlling me how i could rename it to supporters? unless u dont want me too... this way people know what it is more... is there a phrase u have to edit if you do mind?

[divided_by_fear]

lol now im being a pain lol in the future ones too maybe on the mod its self use that script that made it open and close on the topliste random and the one that has them listed like if you go to my site you know the code you just added to that one to make it colaspe add it on the 2 blocks on toplist.php

i removed the button off the main page just incase there site goes down.. this way it wont lag my site on dial up users opening it

[derekivey]

Yeah, I plan to add a uploading feature to the Toplist so it doesn't link to their sites. I just don't know how vBulletin does it yet lol.

To remove the button, just edit the adv_portal_toplist_random_site template and delete

<td class="alt2" width="88">$image</td>

yeah that would be nice i just shut there buttons off on main page... this way it dont show the buttons... did you see what i was talking about on the main page for this about the collapse maybe add that to the toplist page for the random and the part where the sites are listed?

A question and a suggestion...

1: Does this include pagination of any kind, or will the list just keep growing and growing?

2: It would be nice to see you include categories. Admin would create link categories (member sites, funny sites, adult sites, etc., and the submitter would choose which category to place their link. This would also make it easier on people viewing the links since they could simply avoid categories that did not interest them. Should be a simple addition. I'll add it myself tonight, but it would be nice to have it in the official release.

3: Bonus suggestion! It would look a heck of a lot cleaner if you left-justified the links and descriptions. Center-aligned columnar text is difficult to read.

Nice work!

[derekivey]

Yes, has pagination. Also, I'll take a look into adding that category feature and making the links and descriptions be aligned on the left side.

Yeah, I will probably add that also to the main Toplist.

[divided_by_fear]

that would be sweet... hey if you get free wanted to see if you could help me on something... hit me up on my site with a pm or on here with a pm

Hey nice hack! Installing now. Out of interest why the number of different .php files? I would have thought they could all be in the same one? I'm not being picky, I just have enough files in the root as it is! Thanks!
