Great friggen hack! I just installed it two days ago and have been keeping it busy, using it as a resource list for tsunami relief & aid organizations.

Thanks a bunch.

The mod works fine for me and I changed the version in the vbLinks 2 importer and that worked a treat as well :)

One question, I have a moderator who used to look after links but to have full control of the links pages it appears he needs to be an administrator (i.e. add new categories etc).

Is this true or have I configured it wrongly? I have set moderators to have all permissions. In fact I can't even see how to add a new category so I probably haven't finished the install, doh!

As you see on the admin page, there are a large number of permissions settings (add category, add link, delete link, etc). These are all based on VBulletin usergroups, so you must indicate which groups can cary out which actions. The only "fixed point" is that only members of the VB admin group can get at the admin page.

"Add category" is part of the drop down menu under "Categories" on the hack's toolbar. It is only visible to user groups that have permission to add categories, so if you can't see it, you've probably not given yourself permission!

Let me know if you still have difficulties, and I'll take a look.

Hi,

Yes you're absolutely right and it's all fine. Theres no reason I suppose for my moderators to see the admin page so thats fine as well.

Thanks for your help!

Great Hack. Everything works fine so far.

However, I'd like to add IRC Links.
They have the following format:
irc://irc.eu.gamesurge.net/channel

I already altered the local_links_include.php and added the Protocol:
Adding IRC Links works so far, but if I click on such a link a page with this url is opening:
http://www.empty123.inet01.de/local_...tion=jump&id=9

As result of this mIRC doesn't recognise the link.
Is there a possibility to open the Link directly so that it isn't hidden behind the php? link?

Changing the force redirect setting has no effects.

I'm grateful for every kind of assistance.

OK, I'm not familiar with the IRC protocol - the problem is perhaps that php's fopen() routine does not work with it, so a more direct approach will be needed. Give me a few days - there's a tidy up release in preparation and I'll try to fit this in.

Withdrawn, see beta 1.51 in later post

*will upgrade when gets home from work*

You are great andrew - thanks!

Hi Andrew,
i upgraded an old (vb3) installation of links - now if someone (regular user or admin) tries to add a new link nothing happens (new page loads but link is not added) -same (nothing) happens whe trying to edit links as an admin (change entry, save it, page reloads and old entry is there again)
Moderation is set to no. I used the last zip provided by you - any idea? PHP is 4.3.10
thx
Thomas
