I, too, would love to see end-user ability to change sort order. Something else that I REALLY need is the ability to have loooong lists of links span multiple pages.

What about a robots.txt to keep search engine spidars out of this page? is that possible?

It should do that by default, at least the previous version did but regardless, in the latest version, on the admin page, you can set how many link you would like per page by setting the links_per_page value. :)

Never mind installed fine.

Huh? What version does this? And where is a links_per_page value?

The latest version (1.22) which you can find in the first post in this thread, has this option. Once you install it, go to your Links Administration page and scroll down until you see the links_per_page value. It will be right above the permissions settings. There you can set the amount of links per page to be displayed before starting another page. :)

BTW - Looking at your username, you wouldnt happen to work for CSC would you?

I wrote the sort order code last weekend but did not release it as I will be away for a couple of weeks, but yes, the next version does have the ability to sort alphabetically, by date, by number of hits and by rating.

The number of entries per page is normally taken from from the posts per page setting of your board, but can be over-ridden on the admin page of this hack as Chris has explained.

Surely the best way is to set the forum permissions for your links so that users have to be logged in to see the entries?

AndrewD, thanks for the info. I'm currently only using version 1.00 but I plan on upgrading soon.

i have a question , i would like add a Url but this Url start by "https" and this hack doesn't accept this kind of URL , Can i do somethings to change this ?
