LinkMe Hack · **Released**: 04-30-2004

OR
How-To-Link-us in a nutshell

I have created a PHP file and one template which creates a new page in the look and feel of your domain. This file searches the directory ./images/banners/ and creates for each file which is found there an image and the appropriate source code in html. This source code can be copied via double click into the clipboard.

The aim of this mini-hack would be, to make it easier for your members to link your homepage/domain. In addition it will make your life easier because every graphic that you copy into /images/banners will automatically be translated into your LinkMe page. Once installed you just add more banners and graphics and you do not have to care any more about any HTML code. :devious:

Installation instructions are in the zip file. Install time estimated: 2 mins

I will only give support if you click on the install button on the right upper corner or you click on this INSTALL link.

If you want to see it live in action please visit:

Example

But it is in german. :nervous:

Update:
Changes for functions_online.php implemented into the ZIP file and posted below.

Cheers,

Ok, I am having a really bizarre problem with this. None of the images are showing up, and from viewing the source code, they aren't broken, they just aren't being served.

This is happening on several other sites that are using linkme (following links from this thread), so I wrote Pseudo to ask him about it, and he is not having this problem, so my computer must be posessed.

Ironically, all of the other images on the sites I checked are working just fine -- just not the logos for this hack.

This is happening on IE 6, FireFox .8 and Opera 7.25

I have attached a screen shot of Pseudo's linkme page (as it is the one I sent him for help) showing what view I am seeing in the various browsers.

Anyone have any idea what on earth could be causing this, or how I can fix it?

Help!?

Hi Christine,

i did some further investigation on this. I think i found the error. I configured my PHP file with the following line:

PHP Code:


			
        $bild = "./images/banners/$file";

        $info = getimagesize($bild);

        $id = filesize($bild);

        $size = round ($id / 1024 ,2);

But it should be:

PHP Code:


			
        $bild = "images/banners/$file";

        $info = getimagesize($bild);

        $id = filesize($bild);

        $size = round ($id / 1024 ,2);

Compare the first 2 lines. I looked into the source code and the link was before the fix:

PHP Code:


			
<IMG SRC="http://www.LoveTalks.de/forum/./images/banners/alogo.gif">

and now it is:

PHP Code:


			
<IMG SRC="http://www.LoveTalks.de/forum/images/banners/alogo.gif">

I think this was the reason for not showing up. Could you please check now if you can see the pictures ? If yes, then i have to either alter the zip file or include a note in the install instructions to point this out.

Thanks for pointing this out and hopefully this caused the problem because it looks obvious. :nervous:

Cheers,

Hi Pseudo,

Thanks for looking again. I really think it is something with my computer. Not only did that not work after a hard refresh, but I am not able to go directly to this image either:

PHP Code:


			
http://www.LoveTalks.de/forum/images/banners/alogo.gif

Odd, because all of your other images are showing up just fine?

You can not see this picture ? Are you serious ? This would be very strange.

Hi Pseudo,

It is definitely in my computer. I checked it from work this morning, and this one is fine (ss attached). No clue as to what is going on at home.

Does anyone have any ideas on what I can look at?

This is a problem with my firewall.

Sorry for the confusion. I will try and get it sorted if I can figure out how to make it quit "helping" me.

Glad you found it.

I have yet to install a hack in VB# although I installed several in VB2

My ignorance is showing up since I have to ask, where on earth do you create a new template? Don't you just generate them on the fly ?

No problem. You click in your ACP ( admin control panel ) on Styles & Templates, then on Style Manager, then in the corresponding style you click on the <<>> button on the right side.

Then you click on the drop down list of "all style options". There you can find "create new template".
