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.

Hi,

It looks like it appears to be lagging because your server seems kind of slow to me. That might be why this is happening. I tried on my public and test site and it doesn't appear to be lagging for me.

i went into the tempelate manager, and edited the tempelate - Toplist_HTML_Code - i changed:

$vbphrase[toplist_html_code_message]:<br />
<textarea cols="40" rows="4"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/in.php?id=$sr[id]" target="_BLANK">$_POST[sitename]</a></textarea>

to

$vbphrase[toplist_html_code_message]:<br />
<textarea cols="40" rows="4"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/in.php?id=$sr[id]" target="_BLANK">my site's name here</a></textarea>

now... the link still doesnt work, but displays correctly... if you cut and copy this:

http://www.chowcow.com/forum/in.php?id=2

which is what was created in order to keep track the ID... it doesn't work.. it just keeps refreshing the page...

whats wrong here guys?

Did you set the IN hit url in Toplist options, in the AdminCP?

Just updated to the latest version of this script and everything is working fine, except on the toplist page the random site tables does not show the button.

Did you modify any of the Toplist templates? If so, try reverting the 'Toplist' one and see if that works. If not, please try using it on the default vB style and see if it works on that.

No Problem .

My Midterms at school are now over. I should have more time to work on this and hopefully get version 1.0.6 released in a few days . I plan on also adding the feature that lets them upload buttons so they don't have to link to them.

[Allan]

I would translate this version 1.0.6

[derekivey]

Thanks Allan. It should be released within a few days.
