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'm getting this on install:

Database error in vBulletin 3.5.3: Invalid SQL: ALTER TABLE `toplist_sites` ADD `status` VARCHAR( 20 ) DEFAULT 'active' NOT NULL AFTER `out`;;

Did you modify the product file at all? It should install fine.

No I have even downloaded the files again and replaced and it still dosnt work.

Invalid SQL: ALTER TABLE `toplist_sites` ADD `status` VARCHAR( 20 ) DEFAULT 'active' NOT NULL AFTER `out`;;

MySQL Error : Duplicate column name 'status'

Ok, I'll take a look at it and see if I can find out whats wrong.

I think when a user modify, it should also show the code to paste on their site for incoming hits. Or have it available somewhere as [Get Code] or something. Right now, there's no link to get the code if you not get it right after submission?

Beside that, it's a wonderful script. Work flawless on the first install!

Thanks Derekivey!

ok I am having probs with the buttons again.

A member has added in his site and the button shows up in the admin cp and the toplist, but not on the forumhome scrolling list of sites, it only shows up as a red x.

any ideas?

It should show it also when they edit their site. I like you idea of adding a link they can click to also get the code. I'll see about adding this to the next version.

Hello,

is it possible to type more than 255 signs, if yes, where can I set it up, if not, can you include this feature in your next update?

thanks

[derekivey]

255 Characters of what? If you want to accept more, you will need to edit the appropriate database field and change it's type from VARCHAR to something else such as text or something.

Derek

I’m talking about the text “Site Name & Description”, where only 255 characters are allowed.
Can I change this in the ACP? If not, could you add this feature?
If you can not add it, where can I change it in the database?
