Description: This hack adds a Toplist to your forums. You can choose in the AdminCP whether to rank the sites by their In hits or their Out hits. It is fully phrased to make it easy to translate to another language if you need to. The users are able to add a site, edit, or delete their site if they added it. The Administrators can Edit the users' sites or Delete them.
This hack is for vBulletin 3.5.5.

Not yet. Just use the 3.5 version for now, as it works fine. The only difference in the 3.6 version is just adding the version check url for that new feature, and small things like that.

What do you mean the Toplist is not updating?

sorry i meant to say the toplist (hits in, hits out, views) is not getting reset.

[derekivey]

How often did you set the cron to reset the Toplist?

[zentz]

actualy the most probably is that i didnt even set the cron to reset the toplist. all i did set up is those two scheduled tasks from the readme file, i thought that they will do the reseting. how do i set the cron to reset the toplist ? what command will do the reset ?

[derekivey]

Sorry, I forgot that I didn't do the cron file to reset the toplist yet. It will be in the next version. For now, you should just reset it from the AdminCP.

im trying to use this on 3.6 but i cant add the cron jobs because it needs a variable not stated in the text =/

[derekivey]

Just type in the filename without the php extension or something, the var name isn't that important...
