Toplist still not working for me.

After a user adds a site (without an image), the confirmation page still has the broken image in the middle.
I did update the "image.png" file with my server path to my forum ('/home/myuser/public_html'), but it still does not work. My forum is in the root directory.
Still...the image is broken

Also...if a user tries to add a site and upload an image with it, theres an error saying it is not a correct file, even though it is.

Will there be an update to this wonderful hack soon?

Also what file type is it saying the file is when they try uploading it?

Make sure you set your forums url right (vBulletin Options -> vBulletin Options -> Site Name / URL / Contact Details).

the edit feature in admincp doesn't seem to work. i change cats but it doesn't record the change.

[derekivey]

I will take a look at this. Thank You for reporting it.

Derek

[derekivey]

Yup, that is indeed a bug. It looks like that feature got broken. I will release a fix shortly.

Thanks again for reporting it.

Derek

[derekivey]

Ok heres the fix:

Open admincp/toplist_admin.php.

Find:

PHP Code:

'cid' => TYPE_UINT, 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

'category' => TYPE_UINT, 


That should fix it, let me know if you still have this problem.

Thanks,
Derek
