Just a reminder to those upgrading to 2.1.1 of RC:

The topx tag is now called with a new format. You will need to alter your tags in your templates:

Quote:

Top X Count

# This subroutine returns the toplist
# Called with <%Plugins::RemoteCount::TopXCount('TopX_Start','TopX_ListSize','Max Title Length', 'Sort Order')%>
# Order:
# iox - IN OUT EXP
# ixo - IN EXP OUT
# xoi - EXP OUT IN
# xio - EXP IN OUT
# oix - OUT IN EXP
# oxi - OUT EXP IN

Example: <%Plugins::RemoteCount::TopXCount('50','20','75', 'xio')%>

Returns the top 20 (from rank 50 to rank 70), with titles capped at 75 chars, and order by Exposures, In's then Out's

EDIT:

Also, by request of two users, I have removed the hyperlinking of links in the topx tag from the code, so that you may put this into your own format in the template. This would allow you to send the user to whatever page you like, detailed, jump etc.

Hey Ian,



Just an idea, but can the TOPX link to the page the link is on within the directory and/or to the detail page rather than straight out to the linked site? This would give the site owner one more shot at marketing, getting a review, rating, reccomendation, etc... before the user leaves the site.



Just a thought!

Hi Brian,

See the edit in my post (2 above this one). This might help.


(sorry I forgot to put this into the upgrade change list - I was bound to forget a few things, this upgrade was a little fragmented!)

Thanks Ian

Here is an example of how to direct the user to a jump in the rc_rank template. (This one is now in the default template for new users)


<a href="http://www.categories.ca/...jump.cgi?ID=<%ID%>"><%Title%></a>

The detailed is very similar:

<a href="http://www.categories.ca/Detailed/<%ID%>.html"><%Title%></a>

That should work (untested).

If you are not sure where your detailed directory is, just look in admin->settings->paths and urls->build_detail_url

So replace this:

<%Title%>

with this:

<a href="http://industrypages.com/links/jump.cgi?ID=<%ID%>"><%Title%></a>

and add in _blank, or any other variable. Right?

Yes, that is correct!

And I think that was the idea behind the suggestion of removing the linking from being hardcoded was to enable things like this for those who wanted to modify it a little.


It won't be as confusing for the new users, as the new default template will already have the jump link in it.

But I also have another issue, I use ppc_jump. So would that make it the same but with ppc_jump in place of jump?


I see...Since I moved up to the new version and didn't replace the templates all the changes done to the templates in the new versions are not getting used. But if I was a first time install it would all be in place for me when I edited the template. Cool!

Yes. Just look for what code the ppc uses, and place that into the spot, subsituting the link id with <%ID%> where necessary.

The old way where the hyperlinking was hardcoded, may be preculuded you from using PPC in the top list.
Sold yet?

I am sure it was based upon what I have seen so far. So through challenge comes growth!



I think you are right about the "about" file being a force update though. I think a lot of what I have asked about could have been avoided if I had the more recent help file.



Thanks again

This has been on my todo list for the longest time... maybe today is the day... see you in a few hours!!
