More:
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

Sure, it works fine. Use the following in admin/index.php

PHP Code:


			
//vbLinks

makenavoption("Add","../links/adminlinks.php?action=add","|"); 

makenavoption("Modify","../links/adminlinks.php?action=modify","|"); 

makenavoption("Approve","../links/adminlinks.php?action=offline"); 

makenavselect("Links");

makenavoption("Add","../links/adminlinks.php?action=addcat","|"); 

makenavoption("Modify","../links/adminlinks.php?action=modifycat","|"); 

makenavoption("Arrange","../links/adminlinks.php?action=ordercat"); 

makenavselect("Category","<hr>");

Hi guys, i'm really sorry to sound dumb here, but does anyone have a demo of this hack up and running?

I'm interested in installing it, but I don't want to until i've seen it.

Thanx.

mvigod · #**137** 01-24-2002, 01:06 PM

Demo here:

http://www.rcuniverse.com/links.php

Also, I probably still have the original zip file for this hack if it's missing...

Thank you for the link to the demo, but i've decided that i'm going to build my own non-vB links engine

I just upgraded to v222. All went well (thankfully!) but I'm now missing my category drop down menu... anyone else have this problem?

No, but I modified all the templates in hacks that inserted themselves into the default set. They all moved to custom during the upgrade. If there is an upgrade function in the install script for vBLinks, run that. It will put back whatever you are missing in the templates. Otherwise, figure out from the install script what templates you are missing and manually add them as custom templates.

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