The VB3.0 version is no longer supported although there have been no reported problems for some time
See here for the VB 3.6 version of this hack, which is now the supported version. This version currently also works with VB 3.5 See here for the VB 3.5 thread for this hack. What's new in v1.60? Option to display associated thumbnail images Option to accept/not accept new entries if these already exists in database Code for mass edits (accessed via admincp) tidied up VB phrasing completed Includes a full French and a partial German translation (thanks to cclaerhout, Allan and LeeWicKeD), handled properly by installation script. Various bugs fixed and tested against php4 and php5: Better database validation (on startup/in admincp: links with invalid associated forumids, categories with invalid parentids) Alternative linkbit templates provided (default uses a fieldset, the other is the old-style table row) Alternative category selection templates (pull down menu/list of checkboxes), Star rating displayed using standard VB stars rather than in text form Series of minor bug fixes See file change.txt in zip file What it is/does - Provides a searchable database of weblinks and/or downloadable files, for example manuals, music files, pictures, etc. - Integrates within VBulletin, without requiring any code changes. - Transparently handles links and file downloads. (If you want to provide downloads from your own site, you need a separate tool to upload these files. This hack does not and will not include a file uploader.) - Provides unlimited nested categories. - Each link/file can be a member of multiple categories. - Link and category title and descriptions can use all BBCODEs, giving the possibility to add images, colouring, etc, as you wish - Viewing/access permissions controlled using VBulletin forum system - Users can rate links, in a similar manner to VB thread rating. - File downloads are semi-leechproof, i.e. the user does not see where the file is stored and can only access the link if she has access to the associated forum. - Audio files playable via Windows Media Player can be offered as a jukebox . - Tracks who downloads what - Validates links on entry/editing, and provides admin facility to validate the entire database. Installation/upgrading instructions Read instructions.txt in the zip file. Installation script works out whether to install or upgrade. To upgrade from an earlier release of this hack, simply re-run the installation script. If you modified the templates in the top styles, you will lose these modifications unless you back up and re-edit. PLEASE BACK UP YOUR DATABASE See also For screen shots, see attachments. Tested with VBulletin 3.0 and higher PHP 4.1.1 and 4.3.4, should work with all 4.x versions, seems ok with 5.0.4 MySQL 4.0. Reported ok with MySQL 4.1 but not exhaustively tested Credits Initially inspired by drkFusion's vb2 hack "vb Link Directory" v.2 and discussion about v.3 on Vbulletin.org. This is a complete rewrite with many more features. Every credit to the VBulletin folks for providing the infrastructure and to those on vbulletin.org who have helped with testing. Integrations/Conversions Natch has written extensions to integrate this hack with VBindex and VBAdvanced. For convenience, this hack includes fully integrates with, but does not install, his VBIndex hack - i.e. the required template and code are provided, and the admin panel handles the configuration settings. Please refer to his thread for instructions. Integration with VBadvanced is described in thread 1319 at vbadvanced.com. The zip file includes a script and instructions for converting from vbLinks v2 (see thread 44551 Show Your Support

- The directory scan only presents you with the option of selecting file that have mimetypes recognised by VBulletin - have a look at the top of the links and files admin page / settings and permissions. Not sure what this is on a clean install of Vbulletin - something like gif, jpeg, doc, etc - The first time you carry out a scan on a directory, the listing should include all the files it finds, with three columns offering select, ignore and omit. The ones that you 'select' are inserted as downloadable links into the specified category. The ones that you 'ignore' are registered in a file 'ignore.txt' in the web directory, so that they will not be presented to you again the next time you run a scan on the same directory. The ones you 'omit' are ignored this time only. - The next time you scan the same directory, the listing will *only* include files that are either a) new or b) were 'omitted' the previous time. It does not show the ones that you 'selected' or 'ignored' If you're having problems with /*, try it first on a directory where you know there are files of interest, e.g. put a jpeg file into a directory and use the scan to look for it.

AndrewD .. a suggestion ..
When you go to add a link does it check to see if it's already in the database? .. if not could there be a check put into the add link page to flag this up (with a link to the link edit page incase you want to add it to another cat)

Thanks Slave, I'll think about this - seems a good idea. I'm getting a bit worried as the code is reaching the stage of being too complicated to test properly before each release. Need to make sure I don't keep breaking things.

On the links admin page, if you set *links_per_page* option to a value>0, this applies to everyone in every case. If you leave this set at 0, then the code picks up in this order: a) The value the user has set for Number of Posts to Show Per Page on his UserCP or b) Maximum displayed posts vefore page split from the main admincp/thread display options

Hi folks,
I know, there are several posts for this issue. I just want to put an easy one, too. I took the rating images from vbulletin ( images/rating...) and flipped it, cause there right aligned. I used "irfanview" (Flip Horizontal Function). The images called "rating_left_<number>.gif". Then I changed the links_ratebit like this: Change it from: HTML Code:
<br /><span class="smallfont">rated <b>$linkrate</b> Stars <if condition="$links_permissions[can_admin_links]"> <a href="local_links.php?action=doratelink&vote=-1&id=$linkid&catid=$viewcatid&page=$pagenumber">clear</a></if></span> HTML Code:
<span class="smallfont"><img class="inlineimg" src="images/rating/rating_left_$linkrate.gif" /><if condition="$links_permissions[can_admin_links]"> <a href="local_links.php?action=doratelink&vote=-1&id=$linkid&catid=$viewcatid&page=$pagenumber">clear</a></if></span> That does all what I want. Regards P.S Don't hit me if it has been posted already... :knockedout:
