Hi
I have installed this mod, but it doesn't seem to generate a top five in each category. The tag is recognised in the template and I don't get any errors.
I have followed widgetz instructions carefully.
This is the appropriate section of my nph_build
sub build_top_x {
my ($category) = @_;
my (@values, $top_cat, @topx, $topxhtml, $count);
$original = $db_sort_links;
$db_sort_links = $db_rating;
@topx = &build_sorthit (@{$links{$category}});
$db_sort_links = $original;
$topxhtml = qq~<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">\n~;
my $display = 5;
(($#topx+1) / ($#db_cols+1) >= $display) or $display = ($#topx+1)/($#db_cols+1);
for ($i = 0; $i < $display; $i++) {
%tmp = &array_to_hash ($i, @topx);
$count = $i+1;
$topxhtml .= qq~<tr><td valign="top"><$font><b>$count.</b></font> </td><td valign="top"><$font>~;
if ($tmp{'isDetailed'} eq "Yes") { $topxhtml .= qq~<a href="$build_detail_url/$tmp{$db_key}$build_extension"><b>$tmp{'Title'}</b></a>~; }
else { $topxhtml .= qq~<a href="$build_jump_url?$db_key=$tmp{$db_key}"><b>$tmp{'Title'}</b></a>~; }
$topxhtml .= qq~</font><br><$font_small>($tmp{'Hits'} Downloads)</font></td></tr>\n~;
}
$topxhtml .= qq~</table>~;
return $topxhtml;
}
my dbutils file has the following section in it
sub build_sorthit {
# --------------------------------------------------------
# This function sorts a list of links. It has been modified to sort
# new links first, then cool links, then the rest alphabetically. By modifying
# the sort function below, you can sort the links however you like (by date,
# or random, etc.).
my (@unsorted) = @_;
my ($num) = ($#unsorted+1) / ($#db_cols+1);
my (%sortby, %isnew, %iscool, $hit, $i, @sorted, $column, $type);
foreach $column (@db_cols) {
if ($db_sort_links == $db_def{$column}[0]) {
$type = $db_def{$column}[1];
last;
}
}
for ($i = 0; $i < $num; $i++) {
$sortby{$i} = $unsorted[$db_sort_links + ($i * ($#db_cols+1))];
($unsorted[$db_isnew + ($i * ($#db_cols+1))] eq "Yes") and ($isnew{$i} = 1);
($unsorted[$db_ratings + ($i * ($#db_cols+1))] eq "Yes") and ($iscool{$i} = 1);
}
if ($type eq "date") {
foreach $hit (sort {
&date_to_unix ($sortby{$b}) <=> &date_to_unix ($sortby{$a});
} (keys %sortby)) {
$first = ($hit * $#db_cols) + $hit;
$last = ($hit * $#db_cols) + $#db_cols + $hit;
push (@sorted, @unsorted[$first .. $last]);
}
}
elsif ($type eq "numer") {
foreach $hit (sort {
$sortby{$b} <=> $sortby{$a};
} (keys %sortby)) {
$first = ($hit * $#db_cols) + $hit;
$last = ($hit * $#db_cols) + $#db_cols + $hit;
push (@sorted, @unsorted[$first .. $last]);
}
}
else {
foreach $hit (sort {
($isnew{$b} and !$isnew{$a}) and return 1;
($isnew{$a} and !$isnew{$b}) and return -1;
($iscool{$b} and !$iscool{$a}) and return 1;
($iscool{$a} and !$iscool{$b}) and return -1;
($isnew{$a} and $isnew{$b}) and return lc($sortby{$a}) cmp lc($sortby{$b});
($iscool{$a} and $iscool{$b}) and return lc($sortby{$a}) cmp lc($sortby{$b});
return lc($sortby{$a}) cmp lc($sortby{$b});
} (keys %sortby)) {
$first = ($hit * $#db_cols) + $hit;
$last = ($hit * $#db_cols) + $#db_cols + $hit;
push (@sorted, @unsorted[$first .. $last]);
}
}
return @sorted;
}
sub urlencode {
# --------------------------------------------------------
# Escapes a string to make it suitable for printing as a URL.
#
my($toencode) = shift;
$toencode =~ s/([^a-zA-Z0-9_\-.])/uc sprintf("%%%02x",ord($1))/eg;
$toencode =~ s/\%2F/\//g;
return $toencode;
}
Also I am using widgetz review mod.
I currently don't have that many reviews, is there a minimum number required hidden somewhere in this code?
Any ideas what I am missing?
Thanks
Rob
