There are about 13 new templates and 2 new tables on the database which will be created over an easy installscript.
How to install?
Just download the attached file and unzip it, then open install.txt and follow the instructions. Need any help or find any bugs, please report them here. And don't hate me for the code, I tried my best!
Future:
As I like my script and need it anyway, there will be a next version of it, with more features. Some of the following features I am working on:
New startpage with a overview of all categories and the ability to add subcategories as well
automatic post of a new post in a specific. thread when admin / mod approved a link
logging user who's add the link (its easy but don't had the time for this version
categories and subcategories in Navbar
get used of the vB rate feature and try to integrate it
code clean up
better translation
and more...
INstall and upgrade
For those of you who will install the script the first time, just download the attached file and read firsttime_install.txt.
For those of you who allready updated the templates, just reupload "links.php" and do step 1. and 2. in upgrade_install.txt, and also open CP and add the links_redirect_add & links_redirect_url template which is attached to this message. This will fix all your probs
For those fo you who do not change the templates yet, but installed the hack, just do whats in upgrade_install.txt
[QUOTE]Originally posted by RobAC Very cool hack. I like it. However, what's the "Test" link do that appears in the upper right hand corner of an added link/banner?
From what I can tell, there is no way to pull a link out of the "Test Category". I'm in the admin panel now and in the category dropdown menu, "TEST" is the only option regardless of what you check below for "Top Sites". Am I not looking at the right thing?
Never mind. I added an "ALL" category to the list of categories. When you add a link, before, you had no choice but to put it in the "Test Category" so that the "Test" link always appears at the upper right hand corner of the link box. Maybe it's me, but what is the purpose of that "Test" link on each of the links? If I press the link, it just refreshes the page.
I recommend pasting the admin cp code into the MOD/LINKS.PHP too as this gives your moderators access to approve the links - so you don't have to give them access to your admin section
I have to do this as we have 30 mods and 20,000 users on our boards
