Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/boardsie/public_html/forum/includes/cron/toplist.php on line 47
Any Ideas. I am running 3-6-0 BTW
Is there any relevance in what in entered in varname?

I don't think the cron will work with 3.6, I heard that vB changed some stuff with the cron system, so this is something I will have to look at before I release a 3.6 version.

First, make sure the usergroup has edit permissions.

If that doesn't work, please try the fix in this post: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=945

It still seems to do the job. It has removed any sites without links.
Anyway I look forward to a 3-6-0- update.

Oh I see whats causing the error. Do this to fix it...

Open includes/cron/toplist.php

Find:

PHP Code:

$db->free_result($sites2); 


Replace With:

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->db->free_result($sites2); 


Close & Save.

I copied the files via ssh in the server, putting each file in its directory and changing owner and group according to the rest of vbulletin files. I had to create the subdirectories under images/

Then I imported the xml file from AdminCP -> Plugin System -> Manage Products
It required to fill all the fields. I haven't found any "Product ID" so I filled them as follows:

Product ID: toplist_1_0_9
Title: Toplist
Version: 1.0.9
Description: (brief description)

Step #4 of installation says:
4. Edit each usergroup's permissions at the very bottom set the Toplist Permissions to what ever you want for each usergroup.

But I cannot see any toplist permissions on usergroup's permissions.

Further, after restarting the browser and re-loging in AdminCP I cannot see any Toplist Category on the AdminCP Nav.

I'm lost..

Looks like you created a product for that, which is only needed if you are making hacks. Instead delete that product, and import the product xml file that came in the zip file and it that stuff should show up for you.

I've searched through the thread but I am still struggling.

I've copied all the files and I've imported the xml product file.

The top list options are available to edit in admincp options, but I cannot find the toplist permissions in the usergroup settings.

I edit a particular usergroup (e.g. registered members) and cannot find anywhere in there where one edits the toplist settings.

Any help appreciated.
