i have a little problem..
Once an user add a link, i can't change the cat of that link added.

this options isn't aviable in edit link or validate link
That's necesary in case one of the users, or mods add the link in a wrong cat.

Another suggestion is to add a bannner to the links
and.. something realy important is "report bad link"
a buton to click to report a bad link and automatic send a pm or an e-mail to (someone chosed in admin cp or into php file)

the coolest thing would be if the banner acepts gif, jpg and swf files.

It's a cool hack thisone ;)

Sorry about my poor english.

Thanks for the suggestions Lalo landa.
I will look into these features, especially the admin-based ones, as they should of been standard for this hack.

Hey Drk fusion, I wonder if you can help? I'm having a little problem with the templates. I've enclose my forum in a border, via the header/footer, but on *some* of the vBlinks pages the footer displays outside of the border and I cant for the life of me figure why.

The search page is fine, but the main page shows the footer outside of the border.

Take a look...

The validate links part isn't working for me either. I did finally get the link to appear, but then when I clicked on it it only gave me one site to validate (even through there had been several added after that). And I can't get it to show any links there again. Anyone figure this out? :)

I have installed this twice on vb 228 but I cannot get the vb Links Directory Menu to show up in the Admin Cp :surprised:

I have installed it twice trying to get it to all operate properly but the same occured both times (I did un-install after the first) The toggle shows up in vBulletin Options and the links page is accessable but thats it... no admin controls.

Any ideas???

Suggestion: The directions stated nothing about installing links.php or weblinksadmin.php ... I assume they both go into your forums/admin directory?

Thanks for the help!

links.php goes into your /forums dir, weblinksadmin.php goes into your /forums/admin dir.

Got it...

Here's a hint... don't ever try to do this stuff on 3 hours of sleep :cross-eyed:

Stupid mistake on my part :) as expected.

Minor comments/buglets/suggestions for sometime in the future. Sorry if these seem pedantic ;)

A standard navigation bar - yes I do think this is needed - no more than $bburl -> Links - otherwise it's inconsistent

There's a bug when using admin CP View/Edit links to modify category names/descriptions, if some html magic characters appear (e.g. &) - each time through the edit, the character gets remapped, so one ends up with & amp; amp; etc

All the dropdown category lists should be in alphabetical order

The doneaddlink template is missing a couple of closing </table> tags

thanks

I got a whole load of SQL errors regarding the validate field not existing. I only had about 12 links already submitted, so I un-installed and then re-installed.

But I'm not getting anything that allows me to validate a link? I have validation turned on in the CP...

Update: I added the link to my CP instead.

You should ubmit the vb options even if you do not edit it, that is when the vb settings will get updated, I have said this in many cases, you MUST submit vb options weather or not you make change.
