There was another bug found with this hack, if you edit a site in the AdminCP, it resets the category back to no category, so its just shown when you first go to the Toplist. If you would like to fix this, please upload the attached file to the AdminCP and overwrite the old one. I am also updating the zip file to include this change.

Thanks,
Derek

Another bug, when you give a usergroup permission to edit they can bypass the validation. Instead of clicking the validate link to check if the backlink exist they can simply click edit and save and the link is posted in the toplist. Can this be fixed?

Also when I turn on site moderation and then validate the user, the user still gets the message (when clicking validate) that the moderator needs to validate the link first. So the site is validated by me but the user still gets this message and can't validate his site (backlink).

I'll take a look at these and get back to you. I'll see if I can reproduce them.

Thank for so fast answer and using Your precious time
unfortunately I found next error - when I am trying to edit category in Admin CP i get message "Sorry, you cannot edit a category without first selecting one. Please try again, and make sure a id is included in the url."

I also had this error but with the latest update it is gone. You can go around this bug by opening the edit category in a new window. Then in the url you can see what is wrong. You must get rid of the two spaces at the end.

Remove %20 twice at the end and enter. No it works.

Ok another one, when users forget to copy the site code they can't get it again when hey edit their site. They have to delete the entry and start all over again. Can't you display the site code on the user edit page ?

Request: how can I remove the rating column? I want to disable the rating part from the toplist.

Thank you for the update. The hack seems to work fine now. I just have one question. How would I go about moving the toplist box that scrolls the listed sides, to the bottom of my forums? Right now I have an affiliate box there, and would like to replace that with the Toplist box. I'm not very experienced when it comes to coding so if you could help me, that'd be great. Thanks.

Make sure you uploaded the attached file above. I logged into your admincp and it doesn't look like you did because that bug still exists, and so does the broken images bug when you click on Toplist Sites.

It shows up when they edit their site and click submit. I think I will add a page in the next version where they can see it without having to edit their site.

Right now you manually have to remove the rating column, but in the next version I will have an option that when disabled it will not show it, requiring no file edits. For now, if you want to remove it now, you have to edit the Toplist, Toplist_1, and Toplist_2 templates to remove it.

You will have to mess with the plugin called Toplist Forum Home Addon, which is on the hook forumhome_complete. You will have to edit the line called:

PHP Code:


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

and replace it with a line of code that is currently above where you want to put it.

Thanks for your answer!

Ok some users think they are clever and put the site html on a page outside of their site. Can you make the url where they put the site html code visible on the admin page when I edit a site please?

The line should look like this:

PHP Code:


			
if ($image_type == "image/gif" OR $image_type == "image/pjpeg" OR $image_type == "image/jpeg" OR $image_type == "image/x-png")

done that but still getting the following when trying to upload a JPG banner, JPEG files work but no1 really uses them anymore

Quote:

Sorry, your image could not be uploaded because the format of it is not allowed. Allowed formats are GIF, JPEG, and PNG

The format of the file you uploaded is .

Please go back and select a new image or leave the image field blank.
