Hey vB.org
This is my first hack and I hope this increases your site activity/engagement/traffic. All your suggestions will be taken into account and will be 100% supported, so don't hesitate to post here. EASY INSTALL! ![]() What is Ranker? Ranker is a popular platform used by millions of people, that utilizes the wisdoms of crowds to deliver the best opinions possible about any topic where a list is the best answer. Anyone can participate simply by voting or reranking lists, and the more who do, the better the ranking gets. Our ranking algorithms have been honed by years of testing and study, and we have protections against gaming the system. Ranker has been featured on popular media like Forbes Magazine What is the Ranker Widget: The ranker widget is an embeddable list that livens up your forum content with a fun, votable list.

By default HTML in posts is disabled in VB4/VB3 and so pasting HTML code into a post won't work.
Enabling HTML can only be done (be default) on a per-forum basis so it is extremely dangerous to enable HTML is any forum untrusted users can post in. If you do enable HTML in a forum then please make sure only you or very trusted Admins have permission to post in said forums. Edit- See explanation in next post.

The mod apparently looks for ranker embed codes when posts are made and pulls out a few variables then generates a bb code tag which vbulletin automatically sanitizes.
When parsing the post for bbcode, if the user has image posting permissions it will generate this code
I can also see they are preventing xss injection in the href attribute by validating that the url conforms to this regex:

Hi. I went ahead and installed this on my board. My members love it. Do you know if we can add our own ads to these polls? That would be an interesting concept.

Thanks for trying out the plugin. I think revenue sharing is on the roadmap for the polls. Not sure though. I'll confirm with the developers. No members have liked this post.

Thanks. If this is in the roadmap, it's going to help increase my forums revenue since my members have already been actively using it sitewide.

I hope I make myself clear? No members have liked this post.

No, not like this. Here's list on the right of contents of the first post, and only there.
I want it outside thread contents completely, like sidebar is, but I don't want to use sidebar, I only want to have lists there. And then lists would be visible everywhere, no matter what post people would be looking at. I'm not good at making picture mockups, but I found something similar here: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/attac...7&d=1260720141 You have a thread, which is narrower, making place at the right (or left) for lists. List is visible everywhere in this thread, in "fixed" position as we scroll through thread. I saw some sites with ads (or other elements) placed like that, you scroll through some text, but have something fixed left or right, which is easy to make with HTML tables. But it needs to be linked with certain thread, that each thread has it's own list. No members have liked this post.
