main page shows all links, but you can: a:sort by category and b:search for a site

an email is sent to you when there is a new link to approve
Links can be ordered over pages. Limit for links per page can be set
outgoing links will be redirect over a redirect page with information that you're leaving the forum...and outgoing counter will be set plus 1
Category is show on each link
CP: you can easy add new site on your own or edit a site
CP:can add or edit categories
CP: Categories can be reordered
CP:confirm and edit new sites

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
When I installed/upgraded the new templates the category: all sites just brings up top site only.
Also the url that people put in like www.smith.com won't work instead the http:// prefix has to be added. Just another step in the link addition to worry about.
This is really cool, The_Sisko! Congrats- what a great first hack. Thanks for sharing it with us! This is a really neat idea- I'm wondering if it's possible to do other kinds of databases like this besides just links, such as a recipe database. I've got a very active group of moms who like to cook, and they would go nuts over a database where they could add their recipes!

add this:
PHP Code:
if (!eregi("http://",$url)) $url = "http://".$url;
if (!eregi("http://",$url)) $url = "http://".$url;
under:
PHP Code:
$time = time();
Thanks that work. Now it is just the category pull down list. If I click on top sites none of my top sites come up. Also the "All sites" category brings up the top sites instead.
Is this happening to anyone else with the updated templates?
