The really cool thing in this topsite would be detailed stats for each site listed. Sure you could list the last periods stats by which you're ranking right on the main topsite listing, but if you click on STATS for each page ranked, if something like the attached would pop up it would be awesome!

Ok, I will take a look and see why it won't upload. Other people have been having this problem also and for some reason the image's file type isn't being passed to the Toplist, so I'll have to take a look and try to fix it.

You have to login to the AdminCP and go to Inactive sites and validate it first.

The buttons that are on the forums home page they are shown and they are not validated i think that needs fixing. And they are not opening in the new window and that is selected in admin cp.

Yeah, sorry I think I forgot to update that module. I will get it fixed ASAP.

I would love it if you could add category descriptions to this hack and figure out the issue with the VBadvanced pages breaking the voting popup. Category descriptions are a more important thing I would think though.

Where should I put category descriptions at? How about on the add site and edit site pages I add a spot where the selected category's description is shown and when they change categories in the drop down it would show the newly selected category's descriptions (this would use javascript btw). Also I will take a look at the vBadvanced problem when I get it installed on my test board.

That looks like it would be worth adding. I will try adding it as well when I get some time.

I'll look into the open new window problem. Did it just start happening during this version?

Thanks,
Derek

I was thinking at the top of each category there could be a spot for it. There really is no need for it in addsite and editsite as far as I can tell. Javascript would really be defeating the purpose.

Main description for the topsite on the toplist.php and category descriptions at the top for each of the category pages. I'm thinking for solely for SEO purposes. It could go above or below the random site part.

A simple

Code:

<table class="thead" width="100%">
<tr><td colspan="2">Category title</td></tr>
<tr><td width="30%">Image here</td><td width="70">description here</td></tr>
<tr><td colspan="2">footer</td></tr>
</table>

Don't even really need the footer there. Just enough space for some text to re-enforce the keywords for the search engines. This would also give people some flexibility up top. Wrap it in an if statement for category description is null no block will show. If it parses html that would be a plus too.

I was also thinking it would be nice to have a featured site as an alternative to random if that's possible. Hehe... more work lol...

Ahh ok, I get it now. Also how would the featured site be selected? Would it be admin selectable or what?

jaks · #**797** 06-14-2006, 01:11 PM

Ya.. definitely selectable in admin.

jeffj · #**799** 06-14-2006, 03:25 PM

can this be installed so that only the administrator can add links?

I want to use this page for advertisers on my site only.

thanks

Yes, just edit the usergroup permissions and set Can Add Sites to no for all usergroups, except the admin group.
