You need to set the In URL setting under Toplist settings.

Another bug, when you give a usergroup permission to edit they can bypass the validation. Instead of clicking the validate link to check if the backlink exist they can simply click edit and save and the link is posted in the toplist. Can this be fixed?

Also when I turn on site moderation and then validate the user, the user still gets the message (when clicking validate) that the moderator needs to validate the link first. So the site is validated by me but the user still gets this message and can't validate his site (backlink).

I have this issues as well.... When a member submits a site, it get's approved in the "inactive sites" area. (It then moves to the Toplist Sites). The member should now to to the Topsite "homepage" and hit validate to let the admin that they have the banner up. Well, even though it's approved, he gets a message saying it isn't.

Also, if they edit their listing before it's validated, it will bypass the validation.

These (bugs) are both easily found..

Ok, I found the validation issue.

In addsite.php

find:

if ($vbulletin->options['toplist_moderate_sites'] == 0)

Replace with:

if ($vbulletin->options['toplist_moderate_sites'] == 1)

Hope this helps.. It was a typo..

Thanks,

Ok here are the fixes. Just upload the attached files and overwrite the old ones. I have also updated the zip file to include these changes.

Thanks!!!

I didn't know how much time ya had, so I posted a fix for the validate bug.. Hope you didn't mind?

[derekivey]

NP. I actually removed that code in the update because I realized that it wasn't really needed. I'm not sure why I added it in the first place lol.
