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.

Does not work with 3.6.4 because the Installinstructions do not describe how to add the Cronjobs with 3.6.x ......

It allways told me that Fields are empty or a "Phrase" is not correct if i try to add them at AdminCP.

Update : Have fixed it for me after seen the last Posting !

Please make a clean Update to 3.6.x with new Installinstructions that are more detailed please.

Another Bug:

If a User has entered a new Site he get?s 3 Code. A small Button, THEN NOTHING, and a Textlink.

In the middle (THEN NOTHING) there is a URL created (http://www.politikstube.de/forum/ima...image.png?id=4) that only gives me this if i enter it into a Browserwindow :

escape_string($_GET['id']) . "' LIMIT 1"; $sqlr = $db->query_read($sql); $sr = $db->fetch_array($sqlr); if ($vbulletin->options['toplist_ranking_method'] == 0) { $order = '`in`'; } else if ($vbulletin->options['toplist_ranking_method'] == 1) { $order = '`out`'; } else if ($vbulletin->options['toplist_ranking_method'] == 2) { $order = '`rating_average`'; } else if ($vbulletin->options['toplist_ranking_method'] == 3) { $order = '`views`'; } else { $order = '`in`'; } $rank1 = "SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "toplist_sites ORDER BY " . $order . " DESC"; $rank2 = $db->query_read($rank1); $i = 1; while($rank3 = $db->fetch_array($rank2)) { if ($rank3['id'] == $_GET['id']) { $rank = $i; } else { $i++; } } // ############################# CREATE IMAGE ############################ imagestring($image, $font, 44, 28, $rank, $color); imagestring($image, $font, 52, 42, $sr['in'], $color); imagestring($image, $font, 62, 56, $sr['out'], $color); imagestring($image, $font, 52, 70, $sr['rating_average'], $color); imagestring($image, 2, 5, 83, $sr['name'], $color); imagepng($image); imagedestroy($image); ?>

Somethings not working there - what should this middle Image be ???

Do you have GD installed? Also when I go to that URL it gives me a 404 page...

Yes because i have uninstalled this Hack.

[DarkDraco07]

works great now. just wondering how to make the marquee thats on the forum home appear in the header/footer instead =/

[DarkDraco07]

i have a request. a time-out system for the toplist. set them for xx days before they automatically go inactive.

[derekivey]

Ok, I'll see about adding that.

Would they then reactivate the site themselves, or would the admin do it?

[DarkDraco07]

i would use it as the admin having to reactivate it.

also adding the forum home marquee as header/footer on all pages would be nice too ^_^

Ok, I'll try and have a setting to allow people to choose where they want it in the next version.

[derekivey]

No, I do not have an ETA. It won't be for awhile though, because I am working on my newest hack that I am making.
