LinkMe Hack

OR
How-To-Link-us in a nutshell

I have created a PHP file and one template which creates a new page in the look and feel of your domain. This file searches the directory ./images/banners/ and creates for each file which is found there an image and the appropriate source code in html. This source code can be copied via double click into the clipboard.

The aim of this mini-hack would be, to make it easier for your members to link your homepage/domain. In addition it will make your life easier because every graphic that you copy into /images/banners will automatically be translated into your LinkMe page. Once installed you just add more banners and graphics and you do not have to care any more about any HTML code. :devious:

Installation instructions are in the zip file. Install time estimated: 2 mins

I will only give support if you click on the install button on the right upper corner or you click on this INSTALL link.

If you want to see it live in action please visit:

Example

But it is in german. :nervous:

Update:
Changes for functions_online.php implemented into the ZIP file and posted below.

Cheers,

The second entry

$userinfo['activity'] = 'Jukebox';

determens the location-
The first entry handles the display in the useronline view
where

case 'Jukebox':

is definded by "activity"

Just in case anyone wants to know

Thx for the quick help and for this nice hack

If you want to have some suggestions to improve your hack:

It would be good to be able to define folders outside of the forum cause I store my banners outside the forum and like it is now I have to update both folders when I add banners

Greetings

StarBuG

Glad you found it.

And for the directory:

You change it to whatever diretory you want in ( total path if you wish):

PHP Code:

    $direktory = "./images/banners"; 


And you can also change the URL to the pictures in(also other URLs):

PHP Code:

<IMG SRC=\"$vboptions[bburl]/images/banners/".$file. 


But 95% of the people have their banners in the same domain and in the same webroot. You can change it. It will work.

I tried to replace the directorys but I got page not found or a blank page.

I replaced the url in the link so the users wich copy the code use our right banner directory but the automated display in linkme.php of the images does not work.
Only the header is generated.

But never mind it is not that important

ps: I wanted this because my forum is not the center of my project. You can have a look if you want (see my sig)

Hi,

can you tell me why you are suggesting this please ? I would like to know your intention for this change.

And the reason for getting a blank page is 99% not having the template in the correct style implemented.

I was just cleaning up your code....
[php]if ($file == "." || $file == ".." || $file == "index.htm" || $file == "CVS") {
} else {[php] Means.... IF $file = any of those.... { } do nothing.

I simply did IF ($file != those... then do .

As said, just cleaning your code up
