vBTopSite

vBTopSite - Used from 2.2.9 - 2.3.3, should work on all 2.x

Description: Topsites script for people who's sites revolve around vbulletin.

This script I actually wrote several months ago, and now I finally decided to release them on vb.org.
There are some things which I have not included in this version, but they will be released here as I am satisfied with them:
All functions appearing in 'Useful Admin Functions' in the ACP
Everything else works. ^_^ now anyway, features...


Topsites Features: [in no order, partial list]

• Works with all vb things, like it shuts off with your forums, and Banned people have no access.
• Secure Member Panel
• Seperate Member Base, user need not be joined to forums to join/view topsites
• Secure Retrieval System
• Stats rendered in real-time
• 'Today' Reset system
• Customizable stat display in the sitecell template. [instructions for that if you ask me]
• Tracks 12 stats, rankable by 9
• Not a 'clicking required' topsites, displaying buttons earns hits
• E-mail verification system
• Allow certain HTML in description
• Display filters for accounts which arent displaying the button
• Comprehensive who's online locations

Admin Features: [in no order, partial list]

• Topsites active y/n
• Hit accruing active y/n

• Display filter (explained in the acp, or ask me for more details)
• Set which stat to rank by
• Edit/delete sites

• **Force 'day' reset of unreset sites
• **Force 'day' reset particular site
• **Force 'day' reset of ALL sites
• **Prune sites which joined from DATE, from all sites/inactivated/activated

It is advised anyone who uses this hack, to click install, because of the nice updating thing i can do,
and like i said, there will be updates in a little while.

anyway, i might post screenshots, but the admin stuff isnt much to see, i basically just explained it up there ^ :-p
If you have any questions, etc, post them

FYI: a more advanced script is in the works by me, which will be free from vbulletin and including many more features,
like a user rating/comment system. This will be 10$ or so, and more details are available if you pm me (dont discuss it here)

Thank you for using this hack! i know i dont usually post my stuff, well here you go ^_^

Hi there

Is there any news on the topsites for VB 3.07 yet ?

thanks :nervous:

[Darkwaltz4]

Sadly, the project has been indefinately halted due to several reasons..

Im not online much due to internet confiscation/lack of interest
Lack of support for this project as well
Lack of time
and also the confiscation of the laptpo i was working this on, and as far as i know it wasnt deleted, i hope to god it wasnt.

to all of those that are waiting, im sorry, but dont wait, when i do it it probably still wont have anything to rival except aardvark still, which for some reason is all people still use

[Koutaru]

I'm sorry you've decided to discontinue this, I was really looking forward to something besides Aardvark since it doesn't really promote creativity at all. I hope the code you used will be put to good use at least. Enjoy your time offline!
