DCSEO Linkbacks (Refbacks implementation) · **Released**: 09-03-2007

Introduction

Dear Friends,

After much thought I have decided to release part of my upcoming DCSEO modification to the community for free.

What does this modification do?

This modification offers you the facility to track URLs that link to threads on your forum. Instead of me trying to explain to you what a linkback actually is I'll link you to wikipedia's explanation of it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linkback

This modification implements refbacks, but not trackbacks or pingbacks (these will be included in the DCSEO modification). Any sites that the system *thinks* link to you, are put into an approval queue in the admincp which you will see in the left-hand nav after you install the mod. This moderation queue can be turned off, but I would strongly reccomend never turning it off!

The reason this will offer you a major benefit to your search engine rankings and PR (for google), is that it will create relevant inbound and outbound traffic to your forum which the search engines love.

Installation

Download the attached zip and open the readme.txt file, and follow the instructions within it.

Support

I will be around to offer support wherever possible, but please do not PM me asking for support, as I will not respond. If you have any bugs, report them in this thread and I'll fix them as soon as possible. I am rather busy at the moment with work during the day, and full-time development of the DCSEO product in the evenings, so please be patient with me if I take a little while responding to your posts.

Thank you, great..

I think i have a problem with this.

I can only disapprove one link at a time. When i check all linkbacks and tell to delete them all, just one is deleted. Just the first one.

When approving more links it works fine. Just disapproving does not work.

One thing though

I get this error at the very top of the main forum page, until i refresh then i dissapears.

Code:

Warning: substr_count() [function.substr-count]: Empty substring. in /showthread.php(1953) : eval()'d code on line 83

Any ideas? I will leave it install at the moment as it doesnt seem to make any difference to the job its supposed to do.

I'm using 3.6.4

Thanks, great idea mate :up:

Has this been fixed yet?

Are you running the latest version? This issue was fixed a long time ago.

Hello Dean, yes i run 1.3. Sorry...

Beermonster · #**190** 11-05-2007, 07:55 PM

I can only seem to moderate 1 link at a time, if I choose more than 1 they don't get removed, also would it possible to add a "select all" option?

cool hack btw

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
