get rid of button.php

[CrazyCoder]

hello, is there a way to get rid of button.php ?

i mean just offering a simple link to my topsite, with a simple image, not getting through button.php

so counting votes, going through gateway will be decide into another file.

this way would eliminates intensive use of my small server

just something as :

<a href="mysiteadress"><img src="an image users upload from me upto their own server = image.png"></a>

so how gateway would be shown ?
how votes would be counted ?

going through some plugin, at the index ? maybe

as an example,

1) at admin page, button parameters, we would get a new option :

[]offer a simple link

this would hide all others button options.

and at the link code on member page :

2) we'll show an image users would need to get
3) the link code for members will show this simple link <a href="mysiteadress"><img src="upload this image to your server"></a>

here is an example ========>

we could even offer several differents image format, let translate the text in red ::::

Note: Right click on the image and save it on your server upload FTP then replace yourdomain in the link below with the path to the image from your site.

this would be very usefull for small server, or average server becoming to get too many members calling the button.php

Maybe get better host ?

hehe no my friend, i am really very poor, i pay 20$ a month for my server, and i cannot pay 1$ more, so i must find a way, or i will be oblige to end my activities
my host already added the maximum ram he could, 1GO ram, they cannot help me more, or the boss will kick me out

i must find another way to count votes, just offer an image and a simple link.
i enjoy coding, but ... u know, life is life, u cant do all u want all the times

VL 1.3 coming this week, you can edit the the different button html codes then in a new introduced html layout.

ha cooooolll and will we be able to count votes using another page ?
so not putting button.php as the image if u get me well ::

maybe something like this ==>

<a href="mysiteadress/votescount.php"><img src="anyimage.anyextension"></a>

if i dont use anymore the button.php, wich file should i put into the link, in order to count votes ?

<a href="mysiteadress/index.php?u=member_username"><img src="anyimage.anyextension"></a>

this way ?

<img src="http://tip-top-torrents.net/images/button.png" alt="Tip Top Torrents" border="0"></a>

<a href="http://tip-top-torrents.net/index.php?u=toptkfr">
<img src="http://tip-top-torrents.net/images/button.png" alt="Tip Top Torrents" border="0"></a>

No no, when 1.3 come you just remove that img code url path ( button.php ) and replace it with your static image path.
Voting was never related to button.php and never will. its all handled by the link in the "a href"

ok i tried using my fesh new vl 1.2 install, so =>

so i put this as a button on a site :
<a href="www.lannuaire-francophone.com/?u=alamandra">
<img src="http://www.lannuaire-francophone.com/images/button.png" alt="lanuaire francophone" border="0"></a>

i click it

i reach my top site, the gateway

i can click on the green button to vote, this green button link is :
http://www.lannuaire-francophone.com/index.php?a=in&u=alamandra&sid=J0GDu5jn2T75Vhd13Zp27XtjC9c93xHV

and i reach the index, and its ok i see the message at the top : successfully voted

Yes ofcourse you can manually change the code. I JUST told you that in 1.3 you edit the vote code directly and all members will see that when they go to link_code page. As of now its not possible. What you did is just someting for yourself, not every member

Also
<a href="www.lannuaire-francophone.com/?u=alamandra">
is wrong. all you need is your list url. If you do it like that you destroy SEO score

 

[CrazyCoder]

yeah it was just an example, putting the username

 

[Basti]

Just remember to use never the vote link like you posted, its plain wrong. Either without ?u=name or the non friendly link version index.php?a=in&u=username
What you have there is the friendly link version without the SEO benefit
