Big thnaks for this hack. I was looking for a good database hack, and here it is.

Klick install

And the best thing: As I live in Austria and my native language is german, I do not have to translate it.

Desole, il y'a seulement les phrases. Mais je pense que vous trouverez qu' l'installation sera tres facile.

I don't plan to include an uploader - there are plenty of other utilities for doing this, and there are lots of parameter settings on different web sites that I can't test very easily.

it's okay.

pas de probl?me, merci a vous :)

quand aller vous mettre la version 1.60 officiellement ?

Andrew 1.60 is working perfectly. Thanks for considering every request you did a perfect job again.

En environ deux semaines, ? moins que je trouverai des probl?mes.

ok, je vais installer la version 1.55b alors, et mettrai a jour vers la 1.60 dans 2 semaines alors, merci pour ce superbe hack AndrewD ;)

Clique Install

NO problems with 1.60 and PHP 5 during the install.

no bugs found in the short time.

Installed and working perfectly from what I can see AndrewD

\o/

:)

another suggestion ;)
I didnt see the 1.60 upload as i havent checked back here in a few days , will update mine later.

Anyway - over the past week or so , i have someone abusing the vote system. Perhaps we can have an 1 vote per link/upload per ip , or cookie. That way it will be abused less & might be possible for me to track down the guilty party ;)

Hi, I'll check the code regarding the voting system - as I recall it only counts the most recent vote per userid and only users in groups with *can_rate_link* should be able to vote. It doesn't track IP addresses at present. Are you allowing unregistered users to vote?

*Edited after checking code* - Indeed, the code stores the most recent vote by given user. This will cause problems if you allow unregistered users to rate links, because each such user will over-write the last one.

Is there a way to use standard links instead of :

http://www.domain.com/local_links.ph...inks&catid=XXX

It's easy to use mod_rewrite & htaccess to change URLs to something like this:

http://www.domain.com/link-XXX.html

However I'm having trouble changing local_links.php to use the later format.

For SEO purpose, I prefer to use standard links as it has a much better chance to get indexed by Google.

I've not used mod_rewrite, so I'm not too sure what you want.

Are you asking for the hack to display category jump urls of the form link-NNN.htm, which your site's Apache will catch and turn back into local_links.php?catid=XXX

If this is what you want, you can achieve this by editing the links_catbit template

Otherwise, I don't understand.

i did allow guest's to vote , but ive turned that off now :/

The Beta works perfectly!! Thanks for all the work that went into this Andrew and for supporting it too. Sweet Hack!!

Bonjour AndrewD, je te propose de traduire compl?tement le fichier langue (xml) francais pour ta version 1.60, cela t'int?resse t-il ?

je dis cela car il rest pas mal de chose a traduire, et j'avous que ton hack est superbe, par sa simplicit? et sa structure vraiment int?ressante, voila, n'h?site pas :)

Salut,

I got the following notice in the firewall when posting a link:

Application Hijacking has been detected
The application: D:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\bin\Apache.exe try to launch another application: D:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\bin\Apache.exe to go to remote host www.rtl.lu

Is that something i should be worried about?

From what I see on Google, this is a common message from the Sygate Personal Firewall. Are you running this on your PC? I don't know how you configure Sygate or if it's a sign of something else on your PC.

Je serais tres content si tu le fais. Merci beaucoup.

Exactement AndrewD. Je veux replacer les URL dynamiques par des liens standard.

Je viens de revoir links_catbit, si je comprend bien, si je change cette template, le hack ne va plus utiliser d'URL dynamiques (au moins googlebot ne les verra pas)? mais alors, est-ce que je devrait pas mettre a jour le fichier local_links.php? ce fichier contient des lien du genre <a href="local_links.php?BLABLA">

Cordiallement,

This is an international board. Please keep the public conversations in English so all members can understand.

Thank you.

no prob ;)


yes, I understands your reasons and respect them :)

My appologies.

Basically, here is what I said (warning, very poor translation!):

Exactly AndrewD. I want to replace dynamic URLs with standard ones.

Regarding the template links_catbit, what about the dynamic URLs found in local_links.php ? should I replace them too?

-k

Thank you for providing the translation. And don't worry, it is very understandable.

A quick suggestion ..

When adding a link .. is it also possible to have the option of creating a new category at the same time for the new link to go into ..

So we'd need an entry box for the new category name and a dropdown to pick which category will be the parent of the new category .. :)

As I said, I don't understand the voodoo of mod_rewrite, but I've tried a simple test.

If you use this rewrite rule in Apache:

and you edit the links_catbit template to have the line

instead of

then your category display will show up with category links of the form viewcatN.html and Apache will redirect them at the correct category.

Please don't ask me to go any deeper into this - find someone who knows what they are doing! ;)

French Language of the .xml file for the version 1.60, work perfectly with vB 3.0.7 ;)

That's great, Allan, thanks very much.

I'll include it with the main release in a few days - so far only tiny bugs found in 1.60.

Hallo,
how can i disabled the menu for

show
new download , my downloads .......etc

thanks.

Edit local_links_templates.xml

Find the lines
and delete them.

Upload the modified version of this file and re-run the installation script

thanks,

but I means the completly show menu..
I need your hack only for downloads,
and so the show menu with the different features is not necessary.

( damaged, random, hidden, etc )

Find and delete the line that reads

This error is generated if you are protecting links with a forum that doesn't exist. Have you just deleted one of your forums?

You can 'mass edit' the forums associated with your links (at least with version 1.60) by going to the admin page/categories then go down the page to access permissions.

If this is not the problem, let me know

It would be possible to find craftiness which would allow to warn the members that there is again links of create, because if persons do not go to sections, nobody sees that of new links exist ??

Yep after the post I figured out the same thing :)

This is a good idea. I will make a couple of changes in 1.60b (coming this weekend) to show the new links:
- The home category display will indicate the number of new entries since the last visit, with a clickable link to display them all
- The "Show What's New" will do the same thing if *days_seen_on_portal* is set to zero.

I hope this what you want.

hello Andrew,

I've installed your this code onto my board and i like it very much. I would like to use it in a second version to collect information in a directory format. Your program is very simple to use and I want to know if a can use it again with one code change. I need to turn off the link verifcation system. I want a member to add information on a performance location that maynot have a web address. I will need to turn off the need to add a url and the verifcation of a url being added to every entry. Is this possible?

ok, but a update is possible to 1.60 from 1.60 b ?

It will be trivial, if fact even easier than that :)
