My pleasure... I figured I 'borrow' enough hacks from this place, I may as well contribute the only thing I've really done so far :D

Has anyone smarter than me come up with a fix for this problem? DrkFusion?? My users are beginning to wonder what is going on. Please let me know. Thanks.

You need to use addslashes before it attempts to insert the data into the DB. I don't however use this hack so I can't say where to add this ;)

Is HTML supported in the link description?

NTLDR, it does use addslashes, thats why I am seeing atleast, but the code is jumbled it, I will check again.

@ChurchMedia, no.

Hi DrkFusion. I was reading the feature list for vB Links Directory 3.0 and I was quite impressed. When can we expect it? It's going to be free? I don't want to buy in-link or sidelinks if you're going to release such a hack!

Ok, good luck!

It is indeed free, as it is not standalone, and pulls power from vB, I may be releasing a retail version, as one of my clients that my dads company got for me, wants a more advanced version of it, with member system, and content management, so I am not sure. But this one will be free.

Also please keep in mind, some of those features are not yet within, but will be coming.

I have got a list of beta testers that I will be contacting soon.

• Hell Satan
• Dark_Wizard
• Smoothie *
  * Still need to confirm.

If you need another one, count with me. I like to betatest new software :)

I have a problem now, I added muliple categories and if I publicly add a new link it doesn't show up in the display! Yet it is shown in the Admin section? What could be the problem?

Great hack!

2 questions:
- Is it possible to receive mail if there is a new link to validate (with username)?
- Is it possible to show the username in the admin CP?

DrkFusion,

Any idea on my apostrophe problem? Look forward to hearing somthing. Thanks.

I'm having a problem. When I click on the link, it just opens a blank page. Here's the link: http://www.modernengineuity.com/foru...hp?action=main

This also happens when I try to use the top 10 and last 10 links.

?:confused:?

...Anybody?

sounds like missing templates.

Does anyone else know anything about the apostrope problem? Is it happening to anyone else or is it just me?

JakeC

yah... I had the same problem... but i hacked it... i think you just have to add special characters... if i recall. i dont have my file at hand right now.

All the templates are there. I was hoping someone could pinpoint the problem to avoid reinstalling the entire hack.

I noticed that when a user follows a link from the links database when I go to the currently active user area to see where everyone is at I get the error in the screenshot I have attached. Any ideas how to fix this?

Jake

Hey guys,

I just finished installing vBlinks to my vBulletin site running 2.2.8 and did all of the steps required. When I went to finally add a forum I'm getting the following error from my admin controll pannel.

========================
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: makedescription() in /home/mtmdesig/public_html/bb/forums/admin/forum.php on line 85
========================

and this error when tring to access the vblinksadmin.php file

========================
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: makedescription() in /home/mtmdesig/public_html/bb/forums/admin/weblinksadmin.php on line 43
========================

Can someone give me a clue on where to look to fix this. I don't recall editing my forum.php file?

Thanks in advance.

Anyone?

Makedescription is defined in forum/adminfunctions.php immediately after maketableheader function, which is where you edited when you installed vblinks, I suspect you've accidentally deleted this function definition.

Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks AndrewD!

You hit the nail on the head. All fixed and up and running.

Thanks again!

DrkFusion-

Let me know if you need a Mac beta tester.

I've done the installation, but I don't show a Links Directory in the admin cpanel. The Links Directory Templates seem to have installed correctly and Vb Links Directory appears in the Options.

I've recently installed a "skin" for the vbhome. Could that be the problem?

Hmm ok, I reloaded my browser and now the Links Directory appears in the cpanel, however, when I click "Add category" I get a browser error "Page Not Found."

What have I missed?

Doh.

Forgot to upload webslinksadmin.php

Nevermind :)

Great hack!

Thanks :)

Ok, it might have been covered but I cannot find anything on it. Has anyone been able to get the links to be listed alphabetically? This would be extremely handy for what I am using it for. Thanks in advance.

Jake

One minor glitch.

Can someone tell me how to fix the footer so that it does not extend the length of the screen?

Everything seems to be ok
But i am getting these errors in Admin cp

Drk's Links Directory
View/Edit
Add Catagory


Add new Link

View ALL Links
Validate New


Those are the errors i'm getting for those options the others seem to be working ok
please help
and i'm running version 2.30

oops doesn;t matter i missed one Command out from the file that i was meant to make
it all works great now :D

What about a new Apostrophe's fix anyone gonna do anything about this ?
cuz i post around 3 posts in this forum already and no ones replied what u lot doin :ermm:

Hi msimplay,

I visited an earlier post (linked below) on page 10 of this thread and figured out how to hand-code "links.php" to allow special characters.

In the current release (2.2.8), the "linkname" code already has the modification needed to allow these special characters, but you still need to change the "linkdesc" (link description) code.

Find this:
And Change to:
Here's the post I referenced above that needed to be changed (post #142 on page 10 of this thread).

Any word on 3.0 yet? :)

thanks for that i would have used what it said on that page
but when i came to check the links.php first time around i noticed that the code refrenced was different to the code in the second version of links.php which is what i downloaded
anyway thanks for that :D

I was wondering the same thing. ?

Will def install as soon as 3.0 is out .... this sounds like exactly what I been looking for.... ~ crosses fingures and hopes.

3.0 est time?

Great hack. :)

I don't know if anyone has pointed this out, and I don't have the time to read through this entire thread - but category is spelt wrong throughout the entire hack... :(
