11/7/2002
If you are running the previous version, there are upgrade instructions in the zip.
I have included also a new 'Installer', 'Un-Installer' and 'Upgrade' Feature to reduce hassle, and help you upgrade your version, install a new copy, or uninstall at ease. If any problems occure, please PM me immediatly.
11/8/2002
Minor mistake in Top 10 Visited Sites, if you have validation enabled, pleae download the new zip, and overwrite the links.php with the new one, if you don't...I would suggest you still download the new links.php and overwrite it.
11/8/2002
There was a little error in Top 10 Visited sites, if you downloaded the zip after the new zip file, please download this new zip file, and replace the links.php file with the one in this zip.
11/11/2002
There was an error with the code in the upgrade file, if you upgraded, and the hack didn't work, please run this query in PhpMyAdmin
SQL Query: (how to run queries)
ALTER TABLE gportal_weblinkslink ADD hits VARCHAR (255) NOT NULL, ADD valid int(11) DEFAULT '1' NOT NULL

7/10/2002
Database field error. Some fields in the links table, including hits, link url etc, are of wrong value, and on the Top 10 Links when a site gets 99 hits, it will go back to 0 hits and start again. If you have installed vB Links Directory before July 10th 2003 then please CLICK HERE to download the file db_fix.php. Follow the instructions in the post.

AFTER INSTALLATION YOU MUST GO TO VBULLETIN OPTIONS, AND SUBMIT THE OPTIONS, AFTER YOU CHANGE THE VALIDATION OPTION. THIS IS MANDATORY, DO THIS EVEN IF YOU WISH TO HAVE VALIDATION.

Also out of respect I ask that you please do not release revamped versions of this hack as a new one, I have put countless hours into working on the basic functions, and coding it, and I would really be dissappointed. Thanks

Enjoy!

Great hack, seems to be working well, couple of issues though.

Where in the Admin CP should I go to Validate added links as I don't see this anywhere?

Also, unvalidated links are appearing in the "Top 10 Visited" page?

Also, I would like to place links.php outside my forum directory, what do I need to change to allow this to work? as I get the following error when I move it right now :

Fatal error: Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='') in /home/username/public_html/links.php on line 2

Other than that, great hack

Ok, I see the "Validate New" link now, just appeared after a while.

And I fixed the unvalidated links problem:

In links.php, change :

PHP Code:


			
// #################### Top 10 Most Visited Links ####################

if ($action=="top10visited") {

    $asb = $DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM gportal_weblinkslink ORDER BY hits DESC LIMIT 10");

to :

PHP Code:


			
// #################### Top 10 Most Visited Links ####################

if ($action=="top10visited") {

    $asb = $DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM gportal_weblinkslink WHERE valid='1' ORDER BY hits DESC LIMIT 10");

Only thing left to do is how to place links.php outside my forum directory?

Kohhal · #**207** 11-08-2002, 03:41 PM

Just noticed that the visited links counter is incrementing two at a time? Visit a link once, Hits=2, visit twice, Hits=4 etc.... ???
