ok if i go in my phpMyAdmin and change the site names from there then it keeps the names correct it has to do with say you enter in & the description it will change it too &

[DementedMindz]

ok as for the templates in admincp it has to do with topxstats if you have that installed you wont see the templates cause it calls for $only['top']='topXstats'; so it picks up toplist templates

You will need to enable HTML code in the settings.

Come and join in the fun with khmer people around the world. Khmerclub.com is the place to make new friends, chat-room, Humor, karaoke, Poetry, photo, and more... Check it out!!!!

Under the " Randon site" it align the banner and the words in the middle correctly. That how I want it

Is there a way to display site description under " forum toplist" in the middle as well?


You can take a look one more time:

Did you modify the template at all?

Strange I never had to do that before but then wouldnt that let them post html in the site description?

[derekivey]

Dunno, didn't change anything to make it do that. It was always that way, I guess htmlspecialchars_uni() makes it be &

just updated!

Derek, can you add these features to the next release:

- ranking period, ie daily, weekly, monthly
- rank by current ranking period (ie. this day/week/month only)
- rank by average ranking period (ie. average of all days/weeks/months)
- Admin selectable which "code" you want your members to use on their site
- change the iframe to count pageviews as it's putting a small square in FF and Opera and some IE versions
- possible to add the pageview counting code to the custom button code?
- AdminCP selectable which columns to show IN/OUT/Views
- Ideally, would be great if you could have it like AArdvark has it... single HTML code that counts everything


(ie. link only,
I rank by pageviews, so right now it's not fair for a newly joined member to be ranked if the existing members have half a million hits accumulated on their stats. Ranking period would take care of that.

I have to ask... when's the 2.1 coming out, hehe

I haven't made any customizations, do I need to revert any templates?

we're getting closer and closer to a super toplist ! Stats will be great when it comes out !!! Great MOD, submitted for MOF

I can probably figure this out on my own but. I added the link to the toplist in my navbar and it works when in the forum url, but not in the root where vb advanced is. The code I added to the navbar template is straight out of the usermanual. Does someone have revised code so that the toplist link will work in vbadvanced and the forums directory? Thanks.

Just updated, great mod made much better, cheers...like the idea of putting the buttons and edit links in the position you want (if you have larger banners/buttons) would be also nice to have the description of the site under the banner itself or an option to choose either above or below...

Now i know this defeats the object a bit... but one thing i've found with people using my toplist is they never use the link info and just use my site url...thus 'in' hits are not counted... would be nice for an option to show in/out/view or a combination of...all off, or all on... or choose which you'd like to see... i hate looking at the long columns of zeros for 'in' down the page

anyways exellent job...always a pleasure, cheers

btw, I don't think the up/down/same arrows are working OK, perhaps it's something on my end, but I have everyone down, even the 1st place
