Try
[SQL]ALTER TABLE `gportal_weblinkslink` CHANGE `hits` `quantity` INT(99) DEFAULT '0'[/SQL]

There must be a simple way to include the links box on the front page of the forum....? Down under the forums.

Got me beat right now.

Well if you check out http://www.noxmedia.net/links.php

I have done it for that site.

Great hack, installed. :)

Well can we please move this to pm.

Thanks

Many of you may be wondering why the stuff I have promised is not out yet, its because I have been busy with my personal life, and thanks to alot of people here at vB.org i have learned alot of new stuff in php and Mysql, and will be releasing yet a new big release, with great new features, and a full code revamp.

Also I will be making a new one for vB3 when that comes out.
Here are some features on the TODO
- Sub Categories
- Link Editing (By user who added the link and admin on the site itself)
- Revamped Admin Panel with more control in vB options
- New Style
- Link Rating
- Mini Topsites
- Advanced Toggle Options in AdminCP for all features
- UserGroup Permissions (Allow certan usergoups to view/add links)
- Built-In Banner/Button rotator (Maybe)
- Banner/Button Engine (Allows the user to display a button or banner, can be toggled on or off)
- Adding Rules (make it so only 1 user can add 1 link etc)
- Easy Integration Instructions (vBhome, main site etc)
and many other features, this will be a full re-write of the code, and the best part about all this is, the goal is no more than 11 queires per major function. The Currect Directory potentially only has 6-7 queries, but with all the extra addons less than 11, 10, and if all features are turned off less than 8, I will be giving you more information soon.

great hack..

only one problem.. seems that when users add some links with ' or commas or other special characters in the description field, they don't show up on validation, even though it says they added the link successfully.

any solutions? tia :)

I believe this problem was fixed...hmm well the Validation Feature isn't really something that appeals to me, but I have to say Mark has done an excellent job with it, I will look into it, if you are willing to wait, I will get out a new update as soon as I am not full of work.

thx DrkFusion !!
working on 2.2.9

this hack very nice..
waiting your vb3 Power edition!!

Not sure if it has been requested or not but how about a "suggest a category" link.

Perhaps it could be set up similar to posting a link but would be moderated. The admin could approve it and have the new category added or disapprove and it would be deleted.

Another option would be to allow users to suggest a new category when posting a link. The admin could add the category or change the category to an existing one when moderating the link?

Would be a nice touch.
Installed on 2.2.8 and working like a champ! Thanks for a great hack!
