vB Links Directory 3.0

[gmarik]

Wishlist
1) Make an option to have subcategorys, or this hack does the same as the free vb hack

2) You should add more items in the options, for example turn on the rating or whatever

3) You've forgot the sponsor.gif, not very important, but still

4) It would be nice to figure out a way, to integrate the hack with vbHome - if you could do that, I would advertise this hack, so people really know about it and you get money.

I'll try to explain the last one. If we define category "4", than there is an option do display links on the frontpage to all the subcategorys inlcuded in the category and the subcategory name as the header. If you'll do it, I'll bet this will get on rolling.

5) A smart counter, just like a vB integration hack could be helpfull too.

That's all for now, Marco

1,2 Is already done for the vB Links Directory 3.0
4 was done for the current version, but will release an addon that will allow you to specify which links dir categories etc to show on the vbhome page.
3 These are stuff I do not want to waste the development time with, but instead add it later.
5 ???

1) And [edit] link in the links.php?s=&action=viewfolder&folderid=2 user section, so the author can change the data himself.
2) Editor rating, AND + the usual rating, which is not identical. For example I would want on my site
--2.1 When "Editor" mode, the "Contributor" does not shows up, as there is only one person, who creates the links.
--2.2 "Public mode" with less possibilites
3) Guests can visit only limited amount of links
4) A box (vbHome integration) of the last 5 added with bookmarked id's
5) Id shown before the "Link" row
6) An option to open the link in a "_blank" window in a new page

[gmarik]

1) In add new link section dropdown box with redirection possibilitys
2) Date Posted - only the Date, without the time
3) Unique views (don't con't more than one view per user) as an option
4) An option to add usual forum threads to a certain category

5) It would be fine seeing it on vB2 as well.

We don't want to make this specific to one users needs, these features you suggest would be good, but we don't have the time to put in.

Now if you guys are willing to buy this as a retail version for less than 30$ (25$ one time fee) the need to incorporate an even more powerful system comes to use. Just give me your opinions via PM or here.

The one who develop makes the rules..
I just wish something was released soon so that I could start adding all the links I have.... will take me some time.
To pay for addons is OK with me.

We will be having a little meeting with all the people who have been helping with vB Links v3.

It looks to be a very powerful links system but i do hope it will eventually be released for free.

Decision lies with the coders of course.

EIther case , cannot wait to see the release soon

Me to. As to me, I've paid allready 20$ for a hack close to this, but it does not has no subcategorys. Guys, whatever, just release it!

--Total links in subcategorys
--Total all over links

--Link out, link in statistics
--A smart gif counter

Total links in subcategories all totaled is already included, total all over links can easily be totalled, will add it ASAP.
I have decided to add a new feature called statistics, for each link which will show Hits for the link from your directory, the number of visits it gets every week, every month etc. Unique hits will only be calculated.

I am also thinking of adding a topsite addon, allowing users to link to you, and ranks them through that. I will need to think all this out this saturday. This powerful system can easily become a paid hack, as I can tell you right now, if I do release this, I will not have the effort to provide support, update etc. It has been a long development, it is pratically a seperate system, all it uses is vB's database, and coding structure. I will update you guys on my final decision, but right now its 99% that it will be released for FREE, but I would really like to reward all the coders, and beta testers who have been great through out this, and who are going to be put through lots of testing next week.
