I'll give it a shot tomorrow, Thanks.

Mate this is working great, Congrats on all your hard work.

Divided, how did you do that vbacmps module? I would like to add something like that into mine aswell..

Also derekivey any chance in the next release we could have at the bottom of the toplist page somethig saying here are our buttons and how to add to the list or something like that?

[derekivey]

Yeah, I'll see about adding that. Can you give me a better example of what you mean?

[loonytune15]

Umm like a box at the bottom of the page in which the admin can add through the admincp any images that the other sites can use for us.

eg this thread has all my buttons in it.
http://www.monster-designs.com/forum...ead.php?t=1048

So i'd like it to be shown in the toplist area...

On another note has the same error about the rankings been fixed in the toplist random site on the vbacmps been fixed?

[derekivey]

Ok, I'll take a look.

Yes the rankings in the vbacmps module have been fixed.

[loonytune15]

Also can we have an option in the admin cp for adding in sites please?

[derekivey]

Yup, that is going to be in the next release.

hello,
coud you please help me with the following problem: If I activate the toplist in forumhome, and the users click on one of the banners, the desired hp opens in the same browser window. I would like a new window to open for the new hp.

In the ACP I have activated "open in new window". This works fine in the "toplist site", but not in "forumhome".

Thanks,

Georg

Hi,

Sorry about that. It's a bug. Heres how to fix it.

Open: Toplist_Sites_Code template

FIND:

PHP Code:

<a href="$vboptions[bburl]/out.php?id=$timage[id]"> 


Replace With:

PHP Code:

<a href="$vboptions[bburl]/out.php?id=$timage[id]" target="_BLANK"> 


Save the template.

Derek
