adding a toplist script to the site

[TheButcher2]

Hi guys

Just started a top referrers for my site.

The script works it's "TradeExpert"

Anyone know how you include a code to show a script output, it's for a toplist script that has 2 options. One for php pages and the other for shtml pages.

No mater which one I add to the overall_footer.html and refresh the cache the toplist does not show up.

Here are the 2 options they have.

How to include toplist into your web page

After you have created and added a toplist, it has to be included into your web page:

PHP (.php pages)

<?php
include "toplist.html";
?>

SSI (.shtml pages)

<!--#include virtual="toplist.html" -->

Now I added the first one to a page on the site called it https://www.sponsorchat.com/referrers.php it works.
I get it that the overall_footer.html is neither a php nor shtml page, but there has to be a way I suppose to implement that output on the site (hoping)


Peace

You have to allow PHP in templates in ACP->Security settings.

Include inline PHP code like this:

Code: Select all

<!-- PHP -->
	echo "hello!";
<!-- ENDPHP -->

If you want to include a file, use this:

Code: Select all

<!-- INCLUDEPHP somefile.php -->

(somefile.php is located in the forum root)

A follow up question if I may:

how do i make the font larger, I am attaching a screen shot. Something like the 2nd attachment size.

Thanks

the best way would probably be to edit the code that creates the html and change the font size there.
if the php file is creating the html then that is where you would do it.

Thanks Robert I did that this morning, the first screen cap is what is on the page, the second one is the preview in the script for what it outputs.
I was wondering if it's where I put the code on my site, just talking out loud no clue with codes boss.

if we could see the contents of your php file maybe we could help you figure it out.

Hi Robert thanks fr your time.

The Tradeexpert toplist script is

Code: Select all

<table border="0" style="width:850px">
<center><font face="arial" color="000000" size=“5">
<br>
    <td><a href="/x/out.php?id=##domain:1##" target="_blank">1,##name:1##</a></td>
    <td><a href="/x/out.php?id=##domain:2##" target="_blank">2.##name:2##</a></td>
    <td><a href="/x/out.php?id=##domain:3##" target="_blank">3.##name:3##</a></td>
    <td><a href="/x/out.php?id=##domain:4##" target="_blank">4.##name:4##</a></td>
    <td><a href="/x/out.php?id=##domain:5##" target="_blank">5.##name:5##</a></td>
    <td><a href="/x/out.php?id=##domain:6##" target="_blank">6. ##name:6##</a></td>
    <td><a href="/x/out.php?id=##domain:7##" target="_blank">7.##name:7##</a></td> 
</tr>
</table>

The part of the overall_footer.html on my forum is

Code: Select all

is <br>
<br>
     <center><font face="arial" color="000000" size=“3">
	TOP 7 REFERRERS<br><?php
 <!-- INCLUDEPHP "/home/nfvltd/public_html/sponsorchat.com/toplist1.html"-->  </p></font></size>
</center>
<br>
<div class="copyright">
<p align="center"><font face="arial" color=“000000" size="1">

ok, none of that makes any sense. I can't figure what any of that is supposed to do or show on a web page other than the actual html.

as for the second box,

Code: Select all

<center><font face="arial" color="000000" size=“3">
	TOP 7 REFERRERS<br><?php
 <!-- INCLUDEPHP "/home/nfvltd/public_html/sponsorchat.com/toplist1.html"-->  </p></font></size>
</center>

none of that is the correct way to code it.

it is hard to tell but I think that should be this:

Code: Select all

<center><font face="arial" color="000000" size=“3">
	TOP 7 REFERRERS<br>
 <!-- INCLUDEPHP https://sponsorchat.com/toplist1.html --> </font>
</center>

even that is not what I think you are after to begin with.

you have some really messy html in both the toplist1.html file and in your main index.html files
go to those pages and right click and choose view source. notice all the red characters, those are all html mistakes.

the first mistake is using tables and font tags etc.
they still work ok but you have to do them correctly.

Thanks Robert

I switched codes, cleared the cache in ACP the board went blank, I ended up deleting the "cache" folder and uploading last nights copy and it came back.

Probably not the code but something went wrong.

I am thinking the font size has to do with the block where the code is pasted.

Thanks for the time and help

Hmm I thought I replied to this topic earlier today.

Okay I can not get the toplist to show on the forum. Here is the code I tried

Code: Select all

<center><font face="arial" color="000000" size=“3">
	TOP REFERRERS<br>
 <!-- INCLUDEPHP https://www.sponsorchat.com/toplist.php --> </font>
</center>

I turned on "allow PHP in templates in ACP->Security settings." but that turns the board into a b lank screen

Any ideas guys?

do you really need php to display a bunch of links ???

do you really need php to display a bunch of links ???

Probably the script go to create a dynamic content? Unique explain. But who know

So, or you add it via an extension, that execute the script and then inject into the template at the right point (but i understand that it is hard for you maybe) the html output, or yes you can do it the way you are doing, but so i do not understand if you included this code into your overall_footer at some point

Code: Select all

<center><font face="arial" color="000000" size=“3">
	TOP REFERRERS<br>
 <!-- INCLUDEPHP ./toplist.php --> </font>
</center>

and your toplist.php reside into your phpBB root, why it do not work. It should. No way that it not!

p.s Peace? it is nice to call for peace, when there are animals hidden behind psychopathic conceptions of God, and that ignore what the (true) history is.

That did not work again, I had this thing working fine a few years back. Weird.

Thanks for your time
