Vote4Coins with Callback and guide

[thewizard111]

Just google totaltop100 for the toplist. This is a new game toplist. Adding your server is free and you have 28 days free premium membership.

The Postback Function
Our goal is to make it easy and secure for your users to vote for and support your website and receive incentives such as credits. The system we have in place is quite simple and takes little programming knowledge to impliment.

The Basics
What happens is a user on your site is given a special voting link with their username or userid added to it. When this user votes we then take this username/userid and send it back to your server as a POST to your specified script to process and credit the user for voting. It is really that simple and you just need to enter URL to the script in your user , implement the example script found below, and you are ready to go.

Example Voting Url
totaltop100.com/index.php?a=in&u=TOPLIST_USERNAME&id=VOTER_USERNAME_OR_ID
You can simply switch out the url in your existing voting code from us as found in your control panel

Example Script

PHP Code:

<?php

#Example PHP Postback Script

// Your Database Connection Details
$host = 'localhost';
$db_name = '';
$db_user = ''; 
$db_password = '';


mysql_connect($host, $db_user, $db_password);
mysql_select_db($db_name);

function _VoteReward($userId, $valid) {

    if($valid == 1) {

        // Make userid safe to use in query
        $userId = mysql_real_escape_string($userId);
   
        // Check if that user voted already
        // Adjust this query to match your table, column names etc
        $voted = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT voted FROM vote_list WHERE user = '$userId'"));
        if(!$voted[0]) {
            // User has not voted, grant him reward, for example points
            mysql_query("UPDATE votepoints SET points = points + 1 WHERE user = '$userId'");
        }
        else {
            // Do whatever you want if he voted already. Maybe a log of false votes
        }

    }

}

//-------------------------- Don't change anything below this! ----------------------------- //

$ipsWhitelist = array('74.52.116.164');    

$userId = isset($_POST['userid']) ? $_POST['userid'] : null;
$valid = isset($_POST['voted']) ? $_POST['voted'] : null;

$result = false;
if (!empty($userId) && !empty($valid)) {

    if (in_array($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], $ipsWhitelist)) {
        $result = true;
        _VoteReward($userId, $valid);
    }

}

if ($result) {
    echo 'OK';
}

//Close Connection
mysql_close();

?>

The extern IP check function
If you quickly want to see if a user voted already simply visit this url
totaltop100.com/index.php?a=in&u=TOPLIST_USERNAME&ipc=THE_IP_TO_CHECK

As you can see this looks like a normal vote link, but will NOT do any vote, instead it only executes a database query and then returns either 0 or 1 (can be used with cUrl etc.) A 0 returned means the user did not vote on that day when the check was called, 1 means the user voted already.

Thnx. It works. What if the user uses proxy?

Tanks for the script.


For some german members:

Finde den Release ünnötig! Da das Script NUR für die Topliste "TotalTopp100...m" ist!
Warum ist es dann ünnötig? Naja ganz einfach... Wenn ihr selbst mal auf die Topliste geht, seht ihr, dass gerade mal 5 Server unter der Kategorie eingetragen sind xD

Naja, wer's braucht. Ich kann denjenigen, die ein echt gutes Votescript wollen immer noch das von Xero und Maino empfehlen! Kostet zwar etwas, aber es funktioniert und es einfach spitze!

[.In¢redible´]

Can u make it for alle Websides ?

[thewizard111]

Most of the toplists out there on the internet they don't have POST-back functionality. So the answer is no, it cannot be done.

topliste.top-pserver API key?! -.-"

The website was released 1 month ago. Every website, game server etc has a start.

array('74.52.116.164');

<< this IP is for the totaltop100.com site

So the problem is that whether the player has voted or not .. not about having multiple IP's which can be solved by cool down time 1-100 hours .

€ also you can check if you can add 1 more variable to the url ( cache = HASH ) and it will be stored in the db and it will change when the cool down time is over.

I signed my server up as I do for all toplists -a link always helps-, but this one needs way more traffic if it wants to go anywhere.

Toplist Alexa Rank: 26,271,053

WoM Alexa Rank for example is 802,226

Rank of the most popular Metin2 toplist is 84,349

The features are nice but what we want is Traffic!

User data from your website and other website's we won't store it in our database for their privacy. But you can modify the callback script for your needs. Create new database with your custom column and modify this part of the script

PHP Code:

// Check if that user voted already
        // Adjust this query to match your table, column names etc
        $voted = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT voted FROM vote_list WHERE user = '$userId'"));
        if(!$voted[0]) {
            // User has not voted, grant him reward, for example points
            mysql_query("UPDATE votepoints SET points = points + 1 WHERE user = '$userId'");
        }
        else {
            // Do whatever you want if he voted already. Maybe a log of false votes
        } 


The point is that the website uses callback function and from here you can expand the script for your needs.

I will make a tutorial with this request. Thank you.

That is the first query render from alexa ranking. In the first month nobody is in top 100k. It is difficult until people start adding new websites. I am advertising on some websites to keep a traffic flow for faster indexing. The main and most important is the organic traffic. I am optimizing the website for that.

Ok, hope to see it increase. We really need a toplist that has good features and good traffic at the same time... atm you can just pick one, and you always go for traffic even if the toplist code/design/features suck. Good luck!

Personally, if I see at least, as much traffic out as I send in, or something close to that, I will add a button. Until then it's a waste of votes. Atm my site has 16 IN 8 OUT. I will wait and see.

[thewizard111]

Ok. Thanks.
