And just change:

PHP Code:

<textarea cols='40' rows='4'><a href='{$vbulletin->options['bburl']}/in.php?id={$sr['id']}' target='_BLANK'>{$_POST['name']}</a></textarea> 


To what ever you want.

Hope this helps.

these modications r made in the add_site.php?
Because i cannot find anything that resembles this

[Sean James]

its all good, the modifications need to be made in the Toplist_HTML_Code template.

Very nice script *clicks install*

[derekivey]

Yeah sorry about that. I moved the hard coded html into templates.

derekivey now does this only show a link back to the site now? or will it display there button so they can link the button? and if it does display a button how and where do i put my button link?

[derekivey]

It only shows a link, but you can edit the HTML to have it show a button instead. Just edit the Toplist_HTML_Code template and replace:

PHP Code:

<a href="$vboptions[bburl]/in.php?id=$sr[id]" target="_BLANK">$_POST[sitename]</a> 


With:

PHP Code:

<a href="$vboptions[bburl]/in.php?id=$sr[id]" target="_BLANK"><img src="path_to_image" border="0"></a> 


Of course, don't forget to replace path_to_image with the url of the image.

Hey when i install the whole thing and later i wana use a different template do i need to reinstall this or no? I know how to add the links so thats not my worry

Thanks..

[derekivey]

vBulletin adds the templates I believe, so it should be added to the new template.

[divided_by_fear]

derekivey i did that it worked wonderful... one more thing how could i add a table like you have when it shows the code but one above it and have that just show the image they are going to use? so basiclly have it like you do now with with another table above the link with the button inside no code showing there only the code showing on the table below...
