vB Links Directory 3.0

[DrkFusion]

:bunny:
As I finish off vB Links Directory and contact some people to beta-test, this thread will be used to post screenshots and hold maybe site discussions, as the original thread will be edited, and changed to meet 3.0 needs.

I will be posting screenshots shortly.

You can see a list of new features here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?postid=336503#post336503

Please hold on as I finish up and get screenshots to you, I will also hold a poll because I want to decide if I should go with the original category display/link display or start a new one.


Thanks!

Great news! I'm very interested on this hack, and if you need another buddy to betatest, count with me :D

[DrkFusion]

I will be sure too :)

I am currently debuffing the new administration, so I can allow unlimited sub-categories.

[Auero]

Sweet, can't wait for this. I liked v2 a lot although there was bugs. I assume they've been fixed for v3? :)

New Feature Added
Admins now have the ability to lock categories, so users can only view the links in there, but they can't add.

I need your feedback for this, would you guys prefer that for the locked categories, you can specify a usergroup id that can add links, or single user ids?

I plan to put only one so please tell which:)
Thanks

Why not have have it as an option when adding a category - to set up permissions for individual usegroups - it would list them and have a yesno option next to each one based on permissions and then have a box below where you can put a list of userid's that you don't want to be able to use this category :)

I have been coding it on my localhost, too bad my ISP doesn't like me runnign servers, as I get chances to come back on. (becuase my isp is disconnecting me)
I will post some admin screenshots, that are FULLY done.

[DrkFusion]

The Main Administration page, with new look, for easier sub-forums management.

[DrkFusion]

View Links in Category

A bit of change, more user-friendly (instructions)

[DrkFusion]

Also for subforums, unlimited subforums is now a possibility for instanace.
You can have Subforums within a subforum of a subforum within a subforum of the main category :cool:

Thanks for reminding me Mist...lol the table is in the database I forgot to put it :p

[DrkFusion]

I will update the attachment...after I come back from my second isp warning (another down) its very laggy so I thuink it is gonna go down again.

See you guys soon:p

[DrkFusion]

Fixed

[DrkFusion]

The massview looks the same except it has a new field called Category with the listing of the category.

I have been having small errors with the options (as the new versions basically runs off the options)

I will try to get more ss soon.

[DrkFusion]

<u>Question</u>
Do you wish to have multiple pages for categories?

[Auero]

Yes, that would be better than having just a huge list of them.

Maybe make it an admin option to select either 10, 20, or 30 links per page?

:) It's looking really good Drk.

[Auero]

... ^^ Is that what you meant or something different? lol

[DrkFusion]

Erase that question ;)
No I didn't mean that, the links page has it by default, you get to set how many pages you wish to show.

[Auero]

Ah, I'll just shut up and let other people answer you so I don't look a fool. Ooops too late :p

Can't wait for the release of this though, hack of the month :D (if they're still doing that).

[SVTBlackLight01]

Any update on when a final release will be ready?
