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.

I will look into the issue with it disabling certain sites. For now, I suggest you disable the cron from running until I get it fixed.

CHMOD 777 images/toplist/buttons/sites

Ok derek I'll do that. But what about my other issue above? It won't let me add buttons now.

Do what I said above and it should work.

I saw that after I posted, sorry. That problem is fixed now too.

Now, if I could just do something about it constantly knocking this ONE site off the list, I'll be a happy camper. The site has the code on it's forumhome, I put it there myself. Yes I'm constantly having to edit this site in the toplist to make it active on the list again... had to do it 3 times just today.

I've been getting multiple database errors for 3 days in a row now. 47 of them within a one hour period just this afternoon!!!

This is what I got today:

Database error in vBulletin :

mysql_connect() [<a href='function.mysql-connect'>function.mysql-connect</a>]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
/home/topvb/public_html/includes/class_core.php on line 273


any idea what's going on? is there a fix for this??

[derekivey]

That has nothing to do with the Toplist hack... is your MySQL server down? Or did you recently change your username or password for the SQL database, and forget to upgrade the vBulletin config?
