Problem with Top Sites - Please Help
My search engine works flawless with the exception of the Top sites page. I have it setup to take the top 10 sites only.

My code looks like this in my template:

<!-- CHANGE START -->

<p><strong>Top 10 Resources (by Rating) -- with at least 10 votes</strong></p>

<div class=margin>
<table border=0>
<tr><th><strong>Rating</strong></th><th><strong># Votes</strong></th><th align=left><strong>Resource</strong></th></tr>

<%top_rated%>

</table>
</div>

<p><strong>Top 10 Resources (by Votes) -- with at least 10 votes</strong></p>
<div class=margin>
<table border=0>
<tr><th><strong>Rating</strong></th><th><strong># Votes</strong></th><th align=left><strong>Resource</strong></th></tr>

<%top_votes%>

</table>
</div>

<!-- CHANGE END -->

My search engine is at http://www.hitemup.com/search/

The <%top_rated%> and <%top_votes%>
dont' seem to return anything when the template gets built. Any ideas on what's wrong ?

hi,

look for this in nph-build.cgi and modify it how you like. Wink

Quote:
$top_rated = ''; $top_votes = '';

foreach (sort { $b <=> $a } @top_votes) {
$seen{$_}++;
%link = &array_to_hash ($seen{$_} - 1, @{$top_votes{$_}});
$top_votes .= qq~<tr><td align=center>$link{'Rating'}</td><td align=center>$link{'Votes'}</td><td><a href="$link{'URL'}">$link{'Title'}</a></td></tr>\n~;
}
foreach (sort { $b <=> $a } @top_rate) {
$seen{$_}++;
%link = &array_to_hash ($seen{$_} - 1, @{$top_rate{$_}});
$top_rated .= qq~<tr><td align=center>$link{'Rating'}</td><td align=center>$link{'Votes'}</td><td><a href="$link{'URL'}">$link{'Title'}</a></td></tr>\n~;
}
open (RATE, ">$build_ratings_path/$build_index") or &cgierr ("unable to open top rated page: $build_ratings_path/$build_index. Reason: $!");
print "\tVote Range: $top_votes[0] .. $top_votes[$#top_votes]\n";
print "\tRate Range: $top_rate[0] .. $top_rate[$#top_rate]\n";
print RATE &site_html_ratings;
close RATE;

Thanks for the reply but the problem is, it doesn't list any top sites at all. I don't need to edit it, I need it to work. Any ideas ?

Hello there!

Have tried customizing the rates and hits of the sites using admin.cgi so that it will be included in your top sites? There is a minimum number of votes or sites hits before it will show up in the top sites.
