[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!

Installed manually and applied the fix and all working like a dream. I don't intend upgrading to vB3 for a long time yet [why fix it if it aint broke?] so this does a great job for me - thanks!

Great to hear FleaBag, you mind if we use your site for an example on the first post?

Keptic: I installed the upgrade manually and everything is working on my site also. Feel free to use my site:

News
We will be completly going through the code and fixing bugs. This should be a stable release in matter of few days. We will also be releasing v3 in a matter of weeks. We will be sending out a final testing for all beta testers.

So expect v3 soon. We are also reworking the code for v3, to make it function better, and the admin and options are being COMPLETLY rewritten.

Regards,

[DrkFusion]

I am the original coder of vB Links Directory 2.0. I coded this awhile back while starting coding, let me assure everyone that we are much more intelligent with our coding. Keptic has not gotten a chance to do alot of coding, but in v3, he will be recoding many of the parts, he codes smart, and his main worry is functionality, and integration. Mine will be features.

We have a great product lined up for you guys. Free of charge.

I hope everyone will stick with us to see one of the more bigger, and well-featured hacks

I'd be honoured mate! And if you ever need a beta tester, I'm always willing.

Odd.. Has anyone tried the 250 upgrade script/install script that Dark_Wizard attached from this post?:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...707#post419707

The upgrade goes through without a problem, but you get database errors when you try to access the scipt in the admin CP (yes I also submitted the vb options as asked in the instructions).

I then ran an uninstall and a install from scratch (and of course submitted the vb options again!), and I still got the problem going on. Files are hacked properly, anyone else getting this issue?

Can you be more specific? What are the exact error messages? Do a view source on the error page and paste it into a post here so I can fix it...

Hmmm...surprised no one else found this error. Try this weblinksadmin.php file....

Updated the install/upgrade download file as well....
