does anyone have a public demo of this they could share? I never understood the Link Directory.

what makes it any different then posting a thread with a link in it?

What do you mean with 'only screenshot', Im sorry but i dont understand what you ask for.

I mean that I can not seem to you that the pictures showed.

Well, the features of coz... ^^

@Ahmet:

Thanx very much

You're welcome

I went back to version 1.0.2 which works better for me (no sub-sub category dispaly issue described previously).
It's just perfect and I really appreciate these features: additional image, check url, check duplicate, retrieve metadatas
Additional image permission could be set per usergroup instead of category permission, but I will add a conditional in the template to achieve that.

Would there be by any chance the option to set a limit to the banner sizes? Thx!

Makes sense, yeah. I'm going to put this restriction into 1.0.4

Awesome :-)!

I'm really confused! While there is an Arabic translation for this mod, I can not add utf8 characters within it. All non English characters turn into question marks. Please somebody help me. This is the second time I'm asking for tips.

When does this happen? After the entries have been saved?

Right when I save category names and descriptions, both in frontend and backend.

Hm, I might have an idea, I'll get back to you...

Hi,

When I try and add a link it tries to open a php (vblinklist.php) file to download???!!

I've cmd the required php to 777 as per install instructions!

Any idea why its doing this?

Running vb 4.1.1

I wrote that you need to cmd the directories, i didnt write anything about vblinklist.php ;)

Just redo it and dont cmd it to 777 and try again.

vBulletin Link Directory has been updated to Version 1.0.4. This version is a bugfix only, only the widget for some statistics and a random entry has been added as a new function.

The HTML-Options and the UTF8-problem have not been involved in this bugfix release and will be done with 1.0.5 in a few days.

Vossi, Forgive me... I am fairly new at this. First off... what does cmd to 777 do? I installed this today and all seems to be working fine. I am not using CMS so I am fairly sure I don't need to update with the widget fix. What is the random entry? I didn't see anything about random entry in the version I installed earlier today. Also.. is there a way to moderate new entries? I have it set to notify me via PM with new entries... but I didn't see an option to moderate them before publishing.

Thanks!

Moderation settings can be found in the usergroup persmissions.

You dont have to add the widget, but you should make an update to 1.0.4 to get ridd of some bugs. Installing the widget is optional.

cmd 777 gives write permission to a directory. This is needed by the server to let addons write data into it like images etc.

How it will use " widget-vblinklist.xml "

Admincp - Plugins Manager - import this XML file

invalid file

If you read my instruction for installing the widget, you will not find anything about importing that file. Just ignore it.

That specific file could be imported with Wimpex bo Coroner, but Wimpex keeps the widgetid static and doesnt check for double templates, so it might cause errors while importing. That's why i prefer the 'manual' installation.

Thanx Vossi

Thank you also for helping

No problem and thanks to those who voted for MOTM and like this addon. :)

Vossi, I have already created dozens upon dozens of links. Can I use the back-up feature to ensure I don't lose anything when upgrading to the new version? Or is there even risk of losing the data?

No Risk, but you can also make a backup of the links by using the maintenance tools or the link directory.

The data doesnt get lost.

When trying to move categories from a subcategory to a subsub category, there is no option for the subsubcategory. Is this how it's meant to be or, is this something that will need to be fixed?

Oops... forgot that when I fixed the subcats... will be fixed within the next few days.

Ok, thank you! One more thing is the check mark and the x not displaying after checking the link. I at first thought the image was missing but, it's there. Is this something that will also be fixed? If you tell me how, I will fix it myself.

Did that work in 1.0.3? Usually it is supposed to be there, do you see the 'loading'-image for the ajax-routine right next to the input line?

No, it didn't work in 1.0.3 either. I even tried using Firefox, Explorer and Chrome.

But do you see the loading image for the ajax-routine right next to the input field?

Yes, I see it loading and in explorer and google chrome, I see that little image you get when the image is missing after the check is done.

Iam having two Issues

1. on top of my page i got this...

Warning: include() [function.include]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in [path]/packages/vbcms/widget/execphp.php(191) : eval()'d code on line 2

Warning: include(http://expertscodehub.com/vblinklist...list_stats.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in [path]/packages/vbcms/widget/execphp.php(191) : eval()'d code on line 2

2. On my Admincp i can't see this as you show on your image https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...0&d=1292492174

Please help me this is my email id: admin@expertscodehub.com

I guess you missed to upload all of the recommended files.

Does any JS-error appear while entering the URL?

No, I don't get any errors when entering the url.

Weird... :confused:

Could you get me a normal user account for testing at you your forum?

OK, that's a major fail point for me. I need to be able to provide own thumbnails and not use a third party source - the URL I'm linking to may not represent what we want to show, in fact in most cases it won't. For example using this to link to recipies online you want to show the picture of the food, not the picture of the instruction page.

Has anyone else managed to modify this so that the thumbnail can be drawn from a local source rather than a third party source?

If I can get this mod in to it then this will become the perfect solution.

I would like to see a demo if possible

Some questions...

Does this validate links (check if they exist) ?

Auto create thumbnails of site ?

Can users rate sites/links ?

Facebook like links and share link on facebook ?

It does, yes.
