I currently have this hack installed on my forum and I'm using it for registered users to submit support requests...
This hack is freakin'awesome! Kudos!
The reason for this post is to ask for someone's assistance...
I've searched this foum for a link exchange hack and the only thing I can find is Links and Downloads Manager, which has link exchanging and other bells and whistles I just don't need. I'm also familiar with vbAdvanced, but don't want to spend the measly $35 for it. I'm a "tight-wad"!
I'm currently using LinkMachine which is PHP-based, but in order to use it, I have to create an HTML page as a template...I have to remove forum specific content, or it just doesn't work well with the board. Although the program is fairly good...it just doesn't have what I need in order to accomplish my goal.
What I'd like someone to help me with is to create a form for other sites to exchange link requests with my forum.
The form should have these fields and they should all be required:
1) Contact Name
2) Contact's E-Mail Address
3) Their Site's Title
4) Their Site's URL
5) Their Site's Description
6) URL Location of Their Reciprocal Link
I already have a hack installed that creates SEO friendly templates, so managing the link pages will not be a problem.
Once the form is submitted, it will be PM'd or e-mailed to me for review. Once I verify they are linking to my forum, I will add their info to the appropriate template page I've created.
In a perfect world, I'd like all of it to be automated, but unless I find a free program that can be incorporated into the forum, adding links, checking reciprocals, email notifications of missing links, updating links, etc., etc. will be entirely up to me.
It would also be nie if someone with enough vbulletin hack knowledge could create such a hack that would be of benefit to all users. Whoever does...definitely has my vote for BOTM!
Anyway...I hope I can get a volunteer to create the form and all other aspects of it.
Thanks, in advance for any replies and assistance.
Update...
No need for help anymore...finally figured it out and have it working, however, the addons supplied with this hack do not work. Someone might want to take a look into this. The Add-on hacks state they are supported...how does one get their hack validated and marked as supported when it doesn't even contain all the files and instructions you need to make it work.
This Form Hack 4.0 is exactly what I've been looking for and again, Kudos goes out to Abe on this one. I just want a simple CAPTCHA hack that will work with this hack.
I'm currently using vb 3.6.7 PL1.
