Can you also look at that dynamic link above? it comes with the topsite, where you can put that link on your site in HTML format. But doesn't seem to be working

Thanks, and what's your paypal?

Open images/toplist/buttons/dynamic/image.png,

Find:

PHP Code:

chdir('/home/derek/public_html/vbtest'); 


Replace That With the Path to your Forum.

Also, I'll look into that bug. Maybe it's some kind of permission bug where only admins can add them or something. Really weird, I'll let you guys know if I find anything and patch it.

I was having the problem with that images would not upload then i have chmoded 777 folder where images are uploaded and in add_site.php i have changed the path directly to the forum and upload folder.

i think that will do the trick for me it works like a charm.

Can someone help me with my question

how can i add buttons on right side of my forum or entire vbulletin?

Thanks, glad you like it! Summer is almost here, so when school is out, I will have a lot more time to work on this and make it even better. Sorry for the slow development lately, I have been studying for Finals which are next week.

Yes I plan to port it to 3.6. I will hopefully start doing that once the first beta is out.

I would suggest that banners can be shown on entire vbulletin and not just forumhome. Maybe make some kind of toplist generator that generates php code or javascript so users can set how many banners can they show, how they must be ordered by (example... By hits in or hits out by name or....) and how many must be in the row and in the column and then they paste that code where they want in vbulletin. This would be a great feature in this Toplist.

[derekivey]

So you mean like using something like amykhar's Put a Column on the RIGHT side of every forum page hack to show user banners on?

[Mr.D]

yes so it could work on all pages is that posible

[derekivey]

Ok I'll take a look at adding it as an addon soon. I am currently working on releasing the next version of this hack so that will come after it whenever I can make it.
