If a user doesn't select a catagory, this will bring an error, and prompt the user to press the back button, and select a catagory.

1. open the drkslinks_addnewlink template in your admin control panel, and replace everything with the attatched files.

2. Open links.php in the forum root, and find:

PHP Code:


		
			
// #################### Do Add New ####################

if ($HTTP_POST_VARS['action']=="doaddnew") {

add under it:

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($catid == '0'){

    echo "You did not pick a catagory, please hit your browser back button, and choose a catagory from the drop down<br>";

}else{

3. still in links.php file, find:

PHP Code:


		
			
}



// #################### Search Links ####################

if ($action=="search") {

and replace with:

PHP Code:


		
			
}

}



// #################### Search Links ####################

if ($action=="search") {

That should do it, now test out by adding a new link, via the website, not the admin*

Enjoy, and good luck

Arunan,

I've been following this hack and I'd just like to know.... Is it 100% or is it continuing to develop? I think this idea is fantastic and cannot wait to install. Are your install directions complete and up to date on the original post? If so, I'm installing. Can you also give us a quick down and dirty update on its status.. ?

Thanks GREAT work.. I wish I had the talent many of you Hackers have.. Great tools and resources you all put out. Thanks.!!

Hi David,
Well, I have been working on v2, taking suggestions for new features, I will be releasing that soon, but a friend of mine (mist) has been suggesting some more great features to add, so I will be looking into that.

Version 2, is at the moment 99% done in my point of view, but for instance in Mist's point of view, its like 75% done, because of the lack of the other feature, I will possibly post new screenshots soon, I would suggest to you to wait for v2, but I will include upgrade instructions in the v2 release.

The instructions for the current release are full, but I believe there is a minor template mistake.

I am sorry if I didn't answer all your questions.
Thanks

Working well on 2.2.8, thanks. It might be a good idea to get all the fixes posted here in the original archive though.

I believe I updated the original zip with the fixes, I will look into it.

Well if it helps any I'm waiting too and have been checking the thread for the last few days, just haven't posted yet. :)
So far it's looking great! Just waiting on v2 to install.

Oh hehe, :) sorry about that, I have been ignoreing the new features requested by Mist, because of school, but I will try to get those in this week, all last week I was focused on tests, and exams..sorry :)

By the way, can all beta-testers please PM me?
Thanks

AWESOME HACK! One of the best and easiest to install that I have seen around here. Nice job. Im just testing it out right now and its working fine on 2.2.4

I have one question...is it possible to rearrange the categories once you post them? What if I want to move one main category to the top of the list, or to the bottom, or anywhere in between? Is that possible to do without having to reenter all of the links?

Thanks

Visionray

10-29-2002 11:00 AM

DrkFusion,

I dont know if this has been mentioned before so I apologize if so.

I found a strange bug. Whenever I try to enter a link in the link description box with an apostrophe like:

It's a great site, Straight from the horse's mouth etc....

It will not post the link. It wont post when I do it from the forums, as well as from the admin cp. Even if I try to edit the link description text in the admin cp, the edits to not take effect. Only edits without apostrophes change.

I couldn't figure out why one of my links wasn't posting and this is what it came down to. Is this happening for anyone else?

Thanks

DrkFusion

10-29-2002 11:04 AM

Can you give me a link to your board?
I will look into this problem, none of my members have encountered this at all, they have been adding links all day and night hehe...I will look into it.

Thanks for telling me

Hi,

The URL is http://www.fusionarena.com/community/links.php

Thanks! Also I had another question at the bottom of the last page in this thread about rearranging categories. Is that possible?

Thanks again and great hack

DrkFusion

10-29-2002 08:30 PM

I believe right now it orders it all alphabetically, but if you add a new field to the cat dir, and then just number it off 1-x, and then in links.php have it organize by the field name, i guess that would work.

I will look into this for you

DrkFusion,

It is a bug. I've tried this on three different forums here that have this hack installed. Why not try yourself to add a link to your own link database with an apostrophe anywhere in the link description? If you are using the code you posted here, it won't work.

For example, on two of the sites, I registered and entered in a link for Google. Here is the info I put in.

------------------------
Link Name = Google
Link URL = http://www.google.com
Category = Search Engines
Description = It's the greatest search engine on earth.
------------------------------

The link did not work for this entry on 3 sites I have tested.

If I enter this:

------------------------
Link Name = Google
Link URL = http://www.google.com
Category = Search Engines
Description = It is the greatest search engine on earth.
------------------------------

Then the link works.

Just giving you a heads up. A few of my members were wondering why their links weren't showing up at all.

10-31-2002 02:50 PM

I had a fix for this (found it on my own version)... lemme grab the code :)

MarkB

10-31-2002 02:55 PM

(I'm assuming this is the cause for YOUR problem, since it was the cause for mine...)

Find this in links.php:

PHP Code:


		
			
// #################### Do Add New ####################

if ($HTTP_POST_VARS['action']=="doaddnew") {

$result = mysql_query("INSERT INTO gportal_weblinkslink (catagoryid, linkname, linkurl, linkdesc) 

VALUES ('$catid', '$linkname', '$linkurl', '$linkdesc')");



eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('drkslinks_doneaddlink')."\");");

}

Change it to:

PHP Code:


		
			
// #################### Do Add New ####################

if ($HTTP_POST_VARS['action']=="doaddnew") {

$result = mysql_query("INSERT INTO gportal_weblinkslink (catagoryid, linkname, linkurl, linkdesc) 

VALUES ('$catid', '".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($linkname))."', '$linkurl', '".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($linkdesc))."')");

    

eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('drkslinks_doneaddlink')."\");");

}

That should work...

This is cool, thanks :)

Visionray

MarkB

Yep! You're code worked. Thanks!!!

One more question...do the links spill over into muliple pages after a certain amount, or do they all remain on the same page?

Thanks

MarkB

10-31-2002 05:35 PM

Glad it worked!
:)

All single page at the moment, AFAIK... not sure about v2 though. We'll have to see :)

Can't wait! This is a great hack which opens a lot of possibilities. I was looking for a way to do this exact same thing and now my users can do it too which is great.

I was thinking about another thing...don't know if this is going to be in version 2. My links don't display in alphabetical order. The first link entered remains at the top, second link underneath etc...

I think from a user standpoint, it should either be the other way around, or they should be alphabetical, because down the road when someone adds a link and it goes all the way to the bottom its not as efficient. If thats something being worked on then disregard that.

One more thing which would really be cool. I wonder if there is a way to break up the categories...for example on my site I have film links and then web links. It would be nice if I could make a divider between the two sections to differentiate them from each other, know what I mean? Just like on the vB forum home page how major sections are split up. Just an idea. I don't know anything about php, I just follow the instructions in the hacks lol.

Thanks guys this works great so far.

DrkFusion

10-31-2002 07:27 PM

Visionray, the code should display in alphabetical order by default. It was added later on, but I will take all your suggestions, and other peoples suggestion into thought as I finish it up.

MarkB, thanks for helping :) have been a very big help.

Hellsatan, You don't know the new features ;)

Anyways have a nice day, I will possibly post new screenshots later on.

Thanks to MarkB for the hit counter, and admin validation feature, and Jeff and MarkB for the search engine help.

All the screenshots from above, are modified features, and/or new features that are done. There are more to be done.

Hey Legacy if you wish to wait, I will make you an official beta tester, so you can upgrade from the buggy version to the new one.
