ok - so I did not undertand (yes I DID read it) the manual - you need to copy the files that the script creates in the /gish/ directory.. sorry - that wasn't clear to me.

Wolfyman.. did you get that? it's a real neat way of doing things actually - kudos to The Geek...

Thanks,

I do have one question though... in your thread... http://www.thenailgeek.com/showthread.php?t=11011

doing a mouse over - there's a 2nd link in there.. how can I do that? let's say I want to add a <more> link instead or with the normal text link (in other words, add a more info link inside of the description like you have it); how would I do that?

--Tone

I end up with these files - /forum/gish/gal/3.00/.. I need to copy those into the main directory........ ooooooooooh

Geek, I just joined the masses. Thanks buddy :D

When clicking "save ordinal" on "display" in the adminco when there are no links/ordinals entered, you get this error;

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /admincp/GAL_admin.php on line 425

Ill look into it today (along with the danger and limit bug) most likely later tonight. I just got my own server back up and running.

Shackbase: use the $url variable in your description to get a link to appear. You can also put HTML in the description when using popups - however DO NOT put any text in that could break a line (ie. <br /> or <p> tags). You can do physical line breaks - but all spaces are changed to &nbsp; otherwise your javascript will error.

You must be on Comcast. Change your DNS server to 4.2.2.2 and your problems will disappear.

the problem was that the namespace server purged my records so everyone trying to resolve my domain name came up with nothing. Now its just a matter of waiting for all TTL's to expire :(

can someone explain what the ordinal is and what else I can do with the bottom field in GAL?
(Replacement code
$link = url
$description = link title
$text is the text replacement.)

ordinal is the order for replacment.

the lower the number, the more precedence it has.

So if you have 'my name is bob' and also 'bob' as replacments, you want the first to have a lower ordinal so it gets replaced first. Otherwise only the second will get matched.

$link=url
$description=description
$text=replacement text
$url=a rolled up version of $link and $text. Essentially, $url produces the following html:
<a href='$link' target='_BLANK'>$text</a>

So when using a popup, you can stick $url in the description and it will give you a link (this was mentioned a few posts back). You can also use html - but I would caution not to use anything that would give you a line break as it can break the variable sent to the popup javascript.

Technically, you could also use some posbit variables too.

Hope this isnt to confusing ;)
