vBTopSite

vBTopSite - Used from 2.2.9 - 2.3.3, should work on all 2.x

Description: Topsites script for people who's sites revolve around vbulletin.

This script I actually wrote several months ago, and now I finally decided to release them on vb.org.
There are some things which I have not included in this version, but they will be released here as I am satisfied with them:
All functions appearing in 'Useful Admin Functions' in the ACP
Everything else works. ^_^ now anyway, features...


Topsites Features: [in no order, partial list]

• Works with all vb things, like it shuts off with your forums, and Banned people have no access.
• Secure Member Panel
• Seperate Member Base, user need not be joined to forums to join/view topsites
• Secure Retrieval System
• Stats rendered in real-time
• 'Today' Reset system
• Customizable stat display in the sitecell template. [instructions for that if you ask me]
• Tracks 12 stats, rankable by 9
• Not a 'clicking required' topsites, displaying buttons earns hits

anyway, i might post screenshots, but the admin stuff isnt much to see, i basically just explained it up there ^ :-p
If you have any questions, etc, post them

FYI: a more advanced script is in the works by me, which will be free from vbulletin and including many more features,
like a user rating/comment system. This will be 10$ or so, and more details are available if you pm me (dont discuss it here)

Thank you for using this hack! i know i dont usually post my stuff, well here you go ^_^

(this code only appears once, so just use Find)

you can edit the password to your site using the ACP 'manage sites' option

what file is that in?

[Darkwaltz4]

topsites_member.php, sorry >.<

the password generator works with ascii integer codes...so you just have to find a max number that still displays "good" characters

[AN-net]

just for people who are fixing this, it appears as chr(rand(1,100)); in topsites_member.php

edit:
Fully Operational Topsites at:
http://www.animationation.net/community/topsites.php

feel free to sign up there are no requirements besides no innapropriate/pornographic sites allowd. Thanks and hope everyone enjoys this great hack!

[Darkwaltz4]

okay, to get the following charset to appear for your passwords (and not have screwwy passwords) use this following code:

find in topsites_member.php:

chr(rand(1,100));

OR

chr(rand(1,75));

REPLACE WITH

chr(rand(32,127));

PRODUCES FROM THE FOLLOWING CHARSET
!"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~

edit, updated zip to reflect change

what does chr(rand(1,75)); produce from?

[Darkwaltz4]

....a really bad subset :-p whcih was causing problems~

32,127 produces from:
----------------------------
!"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~

and 1,75 produces from:
----------------------------
!"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJK

NOT the best huh? :-p

[AN-net]

do you plan to make further additions, such as being able to post topsite list stats anywhere on vb?

[Darkwaltz4]

*shrugs* i could very easily throw together a new function for functions.php, if you told me what you wanted it to show exactly ^_^ probably something like using:

$sitestats = topsite_stats($siteid);

and that would get you the row of stats, for display wherever you call it. (would add extra query to wherever you use it)

[Darkwaltz4]

okay! i just finished the new whos online locations and updated the zip ^_^ to apply those changes, just use this text file (its included in the new instructions now, but for people who have it installed already...)

like the top 5 sites( including rank #,site name and sitename is a link to the site(will also add to the sites hits/unique hits/in/out)

well thats what i was thinking of or you could make something that scrolls like 5 sites at a time and shows all the stats just not in table form but in row form
