My Plans

[Matt]

Glad you agree psy
Btw my mum bawt me a manual for php 2day. PHP5 for dummies infact. I've read the 1st few chapters, and like the way its set out, but doesnt provide answers to all my questions, but I don't know what a good manual is.
But hopefully if I get my act to together I will be able to help ya with 5.0

Read the PHP Manual, it is extremely good and explains very well what functions do and gives you example of how they can be used its also a very useful reference guide

http://www.php.net/manual/en/

What you do is have the option of Uploading the image or entering the URL to upload the image. If the admin has turned on file upload the button URL will then trancefure a copy of the button onto your webspace or upload it form your hard drive. If its turned off you just have the enter link which just links directly to the image on their site.

Yeah, I believe that has got to be defo feature of 5.0.0

[Matt]

defo?

the PHP manual has had all the basic PHP5 info since the second beta and the rest of it is just PHP4

I think in the next version the default URL length should be increased a little, to 80-85 perhaps. Some member URLs are long, especially when you add other topsites as members to your list.
Example -
http://www.freephotoshoptemplates.com/c ... myusername

This is definately a true point, because somebody can have a domain name that is 63 characters long at the max. That's NOT including the http://www. or the .com.

[coolnico]

defo = defintely

I would rather be learning from a book, cuz then I don't have to wait for all the pages to load.

Anyway, I'm sure I will learn php one way or another

[Matt]

PHP.net is very fast + you can print them off

How about an email validation so people don't sign up with phony email addresses so when you send a mass email you get a thousand MAILER-DEMON messages in your inbox. (Happened to me just before)

So when people sign up, they have to activate their account by clicking a link inside the email address. And if the email isn't validated, they can't add their site and the account they tried signing up with automatically deletes within 30 days or a date that the admin can set..

Code: Select all

onerror="this.onerror=null;this.width='0';this.height='0';"

you can put that in the img code and when it gives a error it will show nothing, you can also modify that to show a other button on error and such.

btw im back havent been here in a while...
im still thinking about making a skin for /\ardvark and i will one day..

just like in most forum a backup function. just click and you download a gzip compression backup from the whole database. that would be nice.

ABOUT the unique hits. maybe its an idea to put that in the admin panel to let the admin chose what he wants. so no extra navigation with, unique hits, unique hits total, hits out, hits in, etc .. just one (but you can switch them in the admin)

USERNAMES INSTEAD OF ID'S! GOOOOOOD! thats something i would really like.. and it could be functional for intergrating with phpbb, invision, nuke, etc

hits in, hits out.

i would like if that function also could be with MONTHS, WEEKS and DAYS. not only days.

well thats about all..

1 more thing: http://www.aardvarkind.com/topsites/ind ... stats&id=1

with the comments... how come it is in such a strange order? 1-999 is ok.. 999-1 is also ok, but why is it in a randomly order?

i hope you fix this thing in a newer version.

How about a comment function under the site descriptions instead of the reviews, since some people don't know where they are. Also, it would be nice if it could pop up when people click on it too.

That could be worth looking into

A review system is exactly the same as a comments system, if you want to change it all you need to do is change the word review (and every variation of it) inside the language file.

what would the code be to display the default topsite button? ive tried a bunch of things and got errors on all the tries, and still had broken images.

[Matt]

all you need to do is make the default button ether trancparent GIF that is 1x1 and nothing will be displayed

[psyblast]

i dont want nothing to show up, i want the default button to show up . . .

i figured that the code would be this

onerror="this.onerror=null;this.'http://www.pokemontop500.com/images/ad_button.jpg';"

but that doesnt work >_<

[Matt]

that wont work try this

onerror="this.onerror=null;this.src='http://www.pokemontop500.com/images/ad_button.jpg';"
