Andrew is it possible to autolink the image also ?

Very easy - will include

Hi Andrew :)

Is there an easy way to roll back to 1.55? or am I stuck with 1.56 for the moment?

Reason I ask is that I'm having problems when creating new sub-cats .. they don't seem to want to go into the cats I tell them too and only go into the very first cat I created.

Thanks :)

Slave, sorry about that - you've been hit by the bug. There should be no problems going back - just upload the 1.55 code and rerun the installation script. Take a backup of your local_links tables to be sure.

I've fixed the bug and plan to release it this weekend.

Ok .. ta .. I'll give it a go :)

I am having a hard time setting the following..



I keep getting errors.... what is the format for these...


My categorie ID for placement is 13



what exactly are directory id's????

A bit unclear, I realise.

monitor_catid is the numeric id for the category into which you want to place trawled files from your web site. You find out this number by displaying the category of interest or floating the mouse over the main category display and seeing the value given for catid=NN.

monitor_dir specifies one or more directories to scan. The catch is that these directories are within or around your website, not your local PC. A second point is that the interpretation depends on how you have set local_fileroot

If local_fileroot = 0 (the default), then the hack looks for these directories relative to the web site root. It is important to start the specification with a "/".

- if you want to search the directory "fred" which sits at the top of your website tree, set monitor_dir to "/fred"
- to search "fred" and "george", set monitor_dir to "/fred, /george"
- to search "fred" and all its subdirectories, set monitor_dir to "/fred/*"

(technically, the code sticks $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] at the front of whatever you specify.)

If local_fileroot = 1, then the list is treated as absolute or relative file names on the server, and ignores the whereabouts of the web site tree sits on that server.

(technically, the code calls realpath() on whatever you specify).

Thank you for the response!! :)

So for the cat Id I just have to put the number of one of my categories?? No specific format?? cat id = or anything... just the number???


and for the monitor directory I can just have it scan everything off the root by putting "/" ??

My forum is in the root??? would this work??? By the way-- This is one of my favorute site additions!! Support even makes it better!! Thanks

You just put in the catid number. In the next release, I've simplified things to give a category list, as in the rest of the code.

You can scan your entire tree by specifiying /* for the directory.

Let me know if you have problems and thanks for the remarks

Thanks Andrew... That worked :)

I was wondering... is there a scheduled task or something that makes it scan the site??? I might have missed something in the settings...

Thanks again


skip that.... I found it but it is finding no links.... I must have something wrong...lol
