That's great!

About a year ago, people were having problems with an earlier version, which only showed up when they were using Bulgarian and Korean translations. Now that really taxed my tiny brain. We got to the bottom of it!

Merci beaucoup, Allan.

Easiest way is to create forums which are redirects to the the category of interest, ie. use local_links.php?catid=N as the link. For standard categories, LDM will create these automagically within Add Category (look down the bottom of the form).

For What's hot, etc, you just give a negative catid:
What's Hot: -7
What's New: -8
Just hover the mouse over the Show drop down menu to find out the catid's for the various options.

If you want these to expand into showing a list of the actual hot, new, etc, entries on forumhome, I can't think offhand how you would achieve this without using the portal interface. Perhaps a plugin could be written.

Nice extension but its interface is a bit confusing. I like the interface of vbadvanced Link manager better: http://www.vbadvanced.com/links/

It keeps the same looks and feels of Vbulletin. Have you ever considered a interface change for this extension, AndrewD?

I like the interface just the way it is. The one you linked to has a lot of wasted space and columns that have no need to be there. ;)

andrew on the short bit template the stats get all scrunched up at the end like:and the entries without a thumbnail get displayed as if there was a thumbnail to display (moves the title over)

also I think it would be nice if we could choose whether to add the descriptions to the side of the thumbnails or underneath it (for banner-like images). And maybe add a short-bit description input field on the add/edit link page so that we could use more than just the link title in the short bit.

*edit*
I was just thinking it'd be nice also to be able to define which template to use by the category. so one category could be the normal links bit and another could be the short links bit template.

it seems all the gif images come up with a black background even when it seems transparent.

I modified the template, and came up with THIS :D

Hello Andrew, the file hosted on local server not offsite, and I'm running on linux ...the speed is kinda slow on one connection ..usually with two connections open would increase speed better ...could you please help ..thank you ..

Mike

Very nice Vtec44.

Each to their own! Actually, I tend to agree with you - the various bits and pieces have been added over time as people have asked for more and more. The virtue of the VB template based system is that you can always slim things down, redesign, etc. I will be delighted to distribute other templates, but graphics design is not my core competence!
