Huh? It should say that already... See screenshot below.

Suggestion: it would be well to be able to edit its site (description, url, buttons url)

You mean allow the user to edit their site? I plan to add that feature in the next release.

[Daniel]

This is great, thanks!

But where can I edit the "add site" page? I see it says $html - where can I find that?

[derekivey]

You would have to open add_site.php and edit the $html variable in it. The code is there.

Thanks. Where would I go in add_site.php to edit this though. It's once the site has been submitted, and gives the code to put on their site.
ie:

PHP Code:

<a href='http://www.mysite.com/forum/in.php?id=2' target='_BLANK'>MySite.com</a>

Find:

PHP Code:

$html = "{$vbphrase['toplist_add_successful']}<br />
{$vbphrase['toplist_html_code_message']}:<br />
<textarea cols='40' rows='4'><a href='{$vbulletin->options['bburl']}/in.php?id={$sr['id']}' target='_BLANK'>{$_POST['name']}</a></textarea>"; 


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.
