Make sure you have reverted any customized Toplist templates. Much of the new stuff in this release is just bug fixes, but I added a feature to allow you to reset the Toplist, and just added a setting to disable the random site feature on the Toplist page.

Can you PM me admin access info so I can take a look at the template and try to fix it?

Thanks,

Okay I have installed it now and it seems to work just fine. Thank you!

Oh also I would like to request one thing. Could you change the URL to the toplist and have it as a diretory like "domain.com/toplist/index.php" instead of "domain.com/toplist.php" in the next release? I think that would be much better.

You can probably use mod_rewrite to do that, I will take a look when I get some time. Also I'm hoping on adding SEO to the next version so that will either change the directory or use mod_rewrite to make it look like it's in a directory.

any idea??

Edit the FORUMHOME template, and put <!-- Toplist --> right after the </if> for the upcoming events code.

Then, edit the plugin called Toplist Forum Home Addon.

Find:

PHP Code:

$find = '<!-- end logged-in users -->'; 


Replace With:

PHP Code:

$find = '<!-- Toplist -->'; 


Save the plugin.
