[high]Updates[/high]
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!

I'll tell ya AJ, if it's somethine weird, strange or just plain out there, it will happen to me!

I also found in the Add a link section, all the "category" words are spelled wrong.

I had that parse error with the & also.

I requested a hack similiar to the smilie hack that would allow us to put in the links in an order of our choosing, but alpha would work for me right now.

In weblinksadmin.php...after // ############################# Edit Link #########################

change this:

PHP Code:


			
if ($action=="editlink") {

$sql = "SELECT * FROM gportal_weblinkslink WHERE linkid=$linkid";

  $result = mysql_query($sql);

   $myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result);

            $linkid=$myrow["linkid"];

            $linkname=$myrow["linkname"];

            $linkdesc=$myrow["linkdesc"];

            $linkurl=$myrow["linkurl"];



        doformheader("weblinksadmin","doeditlink");

        makehiddencode("linkid",$linkid);

        maketableheader("Edit Link");

        makeinputcode("Link Name","linkname","$linkname");

        makeinputcode("Link URL","linkurl","$linkurl");

        maketextareacode("Link Description","linkdesc","$linkdesc");

doformfooter("Edit");



}

to this:

PHP Code:


			
if ($action=="editlink") {

$sql=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT * FROM gportal_weblinkslink WHERE linkid=$linkid");

        doformheader("weblinksadmin","doeditlink");

        makehiddencode("linkid",$sql[linkid]);

        maketableheader("Edit Link");

        makeinputcode("Link Name","linkname",$sql[linkname]);

        makeinputcode("Link URL","linkurl",$sql[linkurl]);

        maketextareacode("Link Description","linkdesc",$sql[linkdesc]);

doformfooter("Edit");



}

let me know if this does it...

Thanks Dark Wizard!

Dark_Wizard · #**595** 07-20-2003, 08:23 PM

Again in weblinksadmin.php...after // ############################# Do Edit Link #########################

change this:

PHP Code:


			
if ($HTTP_POST_VARS['action']=="doeditlink") {

    $sql = "UPDATE gportal_weblinkslink SET linkname='$linkname',linkurl='$linkurl', linkdesc='$linkdesc' WHERE linkid=$linkid";

    $result = mysql_query($sql);

    echo "This link has been updated Successfully.";



}

to this:

PHP Code:


			
if ($HTTP_POST_VARS['action']=="doeditlink") {

    $sql = "UPDATE gportal_weblinkslink SET linkname='$linkname',linkurl='".addslashes($linkurl)."', linkdesc='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($linkdesc))."' WHERE linkid=$linkid";

    $result = mysql_query($sql);

    echo "This link has been updated Successfully.";



}

Again...let me know if this helps...

It's for editing the Link Name in the admincp. The third is for the & problem in the description....

cindyd · #**598** 07-20-2003, 08:38 PM

For continuity sake, the navigation bar that is at the bottom of the browselink template and the main links template isn't the same as in the add newlink template

Thanks for those fixes Bob!

NP...is everything else working?

cindyd · #**600** 07-20-2003, 08:50 PM

Not exactly, the edit feature is buggy. When I go to the CP and select a link to edit, the edit screen comes up, but it is blank. I tried to change one link and had to end up deleting it and re-entering it.

Is this after my fix? Try the fix again...I updated it...

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
