Links To Us Hack

This is my 3rd hack (second to be realeased) I hope you enjoy this great new website promotional tool.

This hack is designed to operate on its own or with Lesane's store hack If you have the store hack installed you can give points to members when people click the link on their website.

This hack makes it easy for everyone to put an image or text link from their site to yours. it produces the code for the user so all they have to do is copy and paste the html tag to their site.
There are 3 variations of banners and links that your guests or members can choose

1) Produces the code for a link with a remotely hosted image or banner.
2) Produces the code for an image link that is hosted on your server. (switchable for both guests and members)
3) Produces the code(s) for a set of special banner or image links that is hosted on your server. Basicly if you have other banners you can add them, and even restrict their use to members only.(switchable for both guests and members)

All the links that are produced by the code lead back to the linkstous.php and when clicked on from another website the surfer well be brought to a welcome page of your site,
If the link followed was from a non-member, the welcome page they come to is a generic page that you will create in your config,
however your members can develop a personalized their own welcome page for when somebody clicks the link on their site.

There is also a link counter so you can keep track of how many click-throughts you get from non-member links and also from each member individually, there is a "Top 10 Linkers" in the members area and a full stats page in the admin that has a top 50 member linkers list.
The system will not count or give points if the owner of the link clicks on it themselves!

DEMO: Pretend that the link below is a banner on my website

I think there is a problem with the custom text added by members who have a banner placed on their site. When they behave as a non member, so delete cookies and temp files and log out of the forum and click the link on their website, the custom welcome text does not show up and the referal in their getinfo is not upated. Also, the stats in the admin cp are not updated as well.

Hello trafix :

I still have error in ZIp structure.
Does anyone have the same problem ???

Thanks again...Kindly look into it.

[trafix]

Try now i have replaced the zip and tested it

[PurpleCow]

I still get error in ZIP structure, don't know why ??

Looks like, I am quite unfortunate ...

Could you attach individual files, so that i can download them ??

Thanks for your time.

[trafix]

Ok i have changed it again with a new file name...if it dosnt work for you this time PM me your email address and i will send it that way..

there is about 28 files so posting each one individually is not about to happen

Any solution for the custom member text trafix? No matter what they do, the standard admin cp text remains as welcome text.

trafix :

the problem is not with the installation, but actually with the ZIP itself.

I tried unpacking it in 3 different windows applications :

winzip
power archiver and winrar

all 3 of them give me error with the ZIP archive, while i can comfortable unpack other zipped packages downloaded from vb>org here !

thanks again and kindly help me with this zip archive as i need to install the hack.

Cheers

Works good. But you forget to add the Javascript-Link for the Top10.

I addet this:

<script language="Javascript">
function showwin() { window.open
("linkstous.php?action=top10",
 "top10", "toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=400,height=300"); }
</script>
