I also modified it a little, and I noticed that the rating system doesn't work now... the link to the site is http://www.game-dog.com/forums/link.php?do=listlinks if anyone can help.

Well, mostly I added the same features and functions that are in the listlinks to the toplinks.

It would also be great if you could add a search feature for it, like the member list is mostly, with A-Z and it searches for links that begin with that. Also a search feature for each catagory, maybe as another module. Along with text searches, again possibly as a module.

Edit: I forgot to mention that I converted it to be a links system instead of an affiliate hack

Contents of link_listbits:

problem solved. if anyone is experiencing any kind of problems with the voting/rating feature. find this line in your affiliate.php:

PHP Code:

if(empty($a) OR empty($rating)){ 


replace it with this:

PHP Code:

if(empty($_POST['a']) OR empty($_POST['rating'])){

Thanks man... that works perfectly

[Bryan Ex]

Installed without problems... thanks very much for your time and effort on this AN-net.

One suggestion and one question - I have mine set to require approval of new links and I finding I'm digging through multiple pages in admincp just to check for new pending submissions. What would be very helpful is a separate "awaiting approval" list so I know right away if there's anything new. I was also wondering about the "active status" as it seems to default to no on all new submissions. Does this change automatically the first time the link is used? If not, where can I change them to default to active: yes so I don't have to edit each one after approving them.

If I'm missing a better way of doing things please let me know.

Thanks very much.

[AN-net]

do you mean the active status or the approval status?

thank you for the suggestion, i might consider that for as an addon to this hack(since i dont plan on releasing a new version for awhile).
