does anybody know of a link directory system that integrates woth smf or even a mod ????
theres gotta be one out there somewhere ::)
I don't know whether this is what you are after?

ive tried that mod (which i the only link directory for smf ive found) but it does not work that well... or something is wrong
i would not mind using it but whenever i create my categories, etc. and set permissions to be viewed by all... it wont... only i the admin can see the links page and no one else can...
also the permissions page does not show all of the permissions ive set eventhough i know ive set them since they are listed in the category manager...
it also does not show the categories and subcategories as a tree... but just dumps them all in the category manager....
hence my frustration with using it....
sooo..... unless someone can correct the issues with SMF Links..... ive gotta find a better link directory system for my forum....
please please please someone show me the way :)
theres gotta be one out there somewhere that integrates nicely...
I believe some people have used PhpLinkDirectory, but I'm not sure how well it integrates.
Although using link directories these days isn't recommended, since Google recently started penalising sites selling links without using rel="nofollow" to avoid passing pagerank.
Indeed the advice I've been reading is to avoid link directories for trying to get backlinks for your site.
actually my main use for a link directory is purely as a service to my site visitors... and it will only contain links that are specified by me or a certain membergroup...
i dont require a reciprocal or anything... just a good listing system... with a bit of detail per link.
