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.

But it is in german. :nervous:

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

Hi Elemental,

does the hack work ?

The file you are talking about is from vbulletin. It should be in your /forum/includes folder. If it is not there, then you should have a problem with your vbulletin. This file is just included in this hack.

Question .....

Would this be better if combined with a links hack such as: Links & Files Database

My thinking is that people who link often want a link -- and would then require one less spot on the nav bar......

Of course, this could always link off the links page as well.

Thoughts?

Hi joeychgo,

i just checked your link. It is a nice hack but it does not fit for my hack. My hack provides an easy way of creating a page for other people to copy and paste banner links. Without my hack they have to create their own templates, html or php pages and think about each individual source or link code. With my hack they just have to copy the new banner into the banner directory and that's it. A very easy way to implement new banner.

And you are right about the link to my hack. This is possible. But thank your for your proposal. I apprechiate new ideas.

Cheers,

Hi cosmictej,

i do not have the vbadvanced cmps installed on my domains. The question should be if they would add my hack into their hack or if this would be considered as an add-on to their hack.

In addition this will depend on the number of requests. If there is only one request to implement my hack into their hack, then i will not do it. I am brutal honest here because i do not have the time for individually customized hacks.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

thankyou

Yes. The answer is very easy. You created the template in the wrong style set, or you are using a style where you did not implement the new template. Just create the template in every style you are offering and the problem will be gone.

Danke Schorsch !

For those people which have the problem that no image is shown on the LinkMe.php page pls. check if you have Norton Internet Security installed.

I worked on this problem for 3 hours now and found that NIS is blocking /banners, /banner directory names.
If you got the same problem check the configuration page for data security in NIS and add your domain to the list of web content or just remove the /banners directory from content blocker
