Is there any notification when a link has been submitted?

How about an option for people to request catagories?

Thanks, great hack.

Hi after installing your latest version, i have created folders in the admin cp. but whenever i try to access that folder in the forum, i got a mysql error:
---------------------
Database error in vBulletin 2.2.7:

Invalid SQL: SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM link WHERE folderid='1' ORDER BY sponsor DESC, points/voters DESC, title LIMIT 0,
mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax near '' at line 1

mysql error number: 1064

I guess the /forum/forum/ path seems wrong, but i don't know where to change that. Any clues?

Thanks!

Somehow it works now, i choose save changes in the admin cp, where it says links per page. I guess the changes weren't set in the first place?
Nevertheless it seems to work now, clicks install!

i'll be sure and add the notification and category request options into one of the next couple of releases. expect 0.1.4 by the weekend; it will fix the link counts thing and perhaps at least have the notification feature

thanks for the suggestions.

Cant wait :D

I have a question as to why when I submit a link it opens up the link? Is there a way to disable that feature? I'd like it to go back to links.php if possible. Also is there a clean way to make the links page show up in the index.php so it look like a forum until you go into it or do you just have to link to the page?

This hack would be nicely incorporated into this links hack.

papa - I will add it as an option soon. Search the template forums for information on creating a forum that is actually a link.
BlackJack - Thanks for the heads-up. I wasn't sure how I was going to accomplish the link checking.

I can't wait until this becomes -STABLE :)

that will probably be awhile :)

Thanks for the update, but how in earth do i delete links?
I tried visible to invisible, but no luck sofar. Do i really need to use phpmyadmin to delete some links?

Nevertheless a very cool hack! :)
Thanks man!

No, you have a new checkbox (delete) in "edit links"! :)

You're right!
I never updated the admin/links.php!
Me stupid :)

This nifty little addon will display "down" next to a link title if it is not working.

Credit goes to Slynderdale, he did all the hard work.

So, open links.php and find:

PHP Code:


		
			
require("./global.php");

Replace it with:

PHP Code:


		
			
require("./global.php");

        flush();

    }

    $return[status] = $status_array[$return[code]];

    return $return;

}

// End URL Status Checker

Still in links.php, find:

PHP Code:


		
			
    $link[title]=stripslashes($link[title]);

    $link[date]=vbdate("m-d-Y",$link[dateline]);

    $link[time]=vbdate("h:i A",$link[dateline]);

After this, add:

PHP Code:


		
			
    $linkstatus=check_url($link[url]);

    if ($linkstatus[code]!="200") {

      $link[status]="<highlight><i>(down)</i></highlight>";

    } else {

      $link[status]="";

    }

Now save and upload links.php. For the next step go into your admin cp and edit template "links_listbit". Find:

PHP Code:


		
			
$link[title]</a></normalfont><br>

Replace it with:

PHP Code:


		
			
$link[title]</a></normalfont> <smallfont>&nbsp;$link[status]</smallfont><br>

Voila! If you want to test it, just enter a fictitious link with an obviously defunct URL. The word "down" should appear next to the link.

This may not work with some server configurations. If it doesn't, contact your web hosting company.

My demo updated , down link added :-)

eek , it says all my links are down lol

I just have one small problem, the time on the main links folder page doesn't seem to update when a link is submitted?

Btw: I have modified the links page alot, i also removed the rating stuff column, because that causes to many pop-ups and it disturbes viewing the submitted site.

Take a look if you want, on how it looks and works on my site:
http://www.housequake.com/forum/links.php

Make sure you're upped to 0.1.4. If you followed the instructions, there should be a link "Update Folders" in your left frame. Click that when you delete or move a link (unless it's old anyway) and the main links page will have the correct information.

BTW, looks great! :)

I agree i like the layout & scheme of that site. I wish i was that good at stuff lol.

What's suprising is i like the site even though im not a prince fan :-)

Thanks for the compliments guys!
Although my knowledge on PHP is very slim :-)

But back to my problem, i still can't figure out what i did wrong, i checked every template and php file, and also made sure that i updated the folders in admin links.php, but nevertheless the problem still remains. What could i have overlooked?

The example URL at:
http://www.in-here.co.uk/forum/links.php?s=
(i took the liberty to add a test link there, sorry for that)
Seems to have the same problem. The latesttime on the main link folder page doesn't seem to update, however the date works fine i guess.

Besides from this this small problem, i think this hack is great!
Wouldn't it be even nicer if members from the board could comment it, just as if the link was a discussion topic? Well, i am just thinking out load :)

Dont worry , i dont mind :p , adds another number to the list.
im glad you wernt member 100 ... what would you have done with a voucher from a wedding shop ?

lol

I went into the acp links admin & updated the folders & everything seems ok now

Yes, you're link dates looks good, but what about the time? All links are posted at exaclty 12:00 AM? (on your main link page that is) Hmmm

How do I get links to show up on my mainpage? I use myvbindex
Thanks

Oooooh...I just noticed what you're talking about. Hold on.

No problem!
Everything works perfect now!
It looks like this hack is out of his beta stage?

Best regards,

Aaron

Thank you too nick!!

Works like a charm -> Full Relase :)

I get this after installing your 'down' link hack
