Hi,

I have the same problem as the user above: the random banner links to the toplist page.

Additionally, the following error is showing at the top of the toplist page:
Warning: unserialize() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /toplist.php on line 815

What to do?

[Beller]

A quick question on this...
Is it possible to exclude a certain site(s) from needing a validation code?

I have 36 sites in my toplist and I realised I was having errors on the the forumhome and it took me half an hour till i realised it was this hack causing the problems..

I have turned off the forumhome marquee till i hope it can be fixed..

Haven't got to it yet. Just leave it off for now and I will hopefully get to it after finals are over.

For the unserialize error, make sure you have added the cron job listed in the readme file that updates the rank cache, and if you did add it, try running it manually from the cron job page and see if the error goes away then.

No, that is currently not a feature, sorry.

derekivey any way you can include a option in the next update to shut off image uploads incase you just want it without images on there also anyway to have a otion to shut off ratings and views?

I am having that same prob and didn't see a fix.

You can try from here, rightside of the page, almost to the bottom--an 88X31 scrolling GTP gif.

*Edit* Found it.

Another Question--two actually--

1) Why would I have size limit error messages when I try to add or edit from toplist.php, but in my admincp, I can can add a site with the same image and it uploads correctly? I have tested numerous times now.

It's not userpermissions or size restrictions--I have checked both.

2) Why can I not get the rate button to submit on the Random Site? The ratings drop down works, but will not submit.

I am running 3.6.7 PL BTW.

Thanks.

How do i remove the rating column?
Ive managed to remove the headers etc, but i cant seem to find the template with:

</tr>
$html
<tr align="center">

Awesome script

[derekivey]

Look in Toplist_Bits or something like that, I forget what I named the template.
