Thank you AndrewD. I will do this when I get to the office today.

I'm installing this tonight for a client running vb. He's very excited to have a link script that integrates with the forum. I just noticed, however, that the search looks for strings, rather than keywords. Is there any way to change this? It's quite different than we've trained our users to look for information. It's taken me years to get my own users good at keyword searches to find what they're looking for. :)

ya i mod a little of the code

I'll check - the current string search is a trivial SQL query to the database whereas I think keyword searching will require more effort - e.g. VB's own keyword search requires maintaining extra tables and quite a chunk of code, which other users also find does not meet their requirements.

Version 1.22 is now the supported release. Minor bug fixes/modifications since 1.21, primarily to do with handling pagination. There is also a conversion utility to ugrade from VBLinks 2 thread 44551

The conversion utility and new version works like a charm on an upgraded vb 2.3.2 to vB 3.0.1 forum. Importing the old vB Links Directory data into the new Link and Files DB was a snap with the upgrade script!

Thank you Andrew! :)

One quick question. I have the ratings disabled but as the admin, I clicked to rate a link and now have it showing up under the one link. Is there a way to reset that rating so it is back to 0 or if not, can I remove something so the rating wont show up?

Thanks!

Hi, any way to sort order of categories and/or order of links/files ?

Only by the way you name these - I haven't yet included any sorting code in the display routines, so these will always appear alphabetically.

One for the wish list, I imagine.

Two ways, depending on what you feel comfortable with. Either use phpmyadmin (or something similar), open the table *_linksrate and delete the records in that table.

Or edit the template links_ratebit - if you change this to an empty template the ratings will never appear.

I'll add this to the wishlist.
