SMF Links

[John S]

I will add option though in next release to include an image next to a link or a picture of your site.

awesome, when will this be ready? is it already ready?

[RiderRaghav]

I just installed this mod ....it gave no errors while installing  ........but after installing I dint see any buttons  .....
What should I do ....
I'm using 1.1.3v with tiny portal ....

Any help would be greatly appreciated .....

With the SMF default theme, you'll see a button labelled "Links". You can configure things, there.

[nolageek]

what about properly counting links inside nested categories?

[klaja26]

I have the SMF Default Core and it still doesnt show up for me. I can get to the pages if i type in the links myself but it doesnt put them in the menu in admin or in the forum, there are just empty places for them. When im on the pages it shows me all the text properly, just doesnt show the links to get to the pages. I installed it on a fresh SMF so there shouldnt be anything else affecting it.

Firstly go to ACP>Server Settings and make sure that your forum language is set to english and not english utf8. Go to ACP>Packages>Options and set "Installation Options" approrriate to your hosting. In the same panel you'll find "Cleanup Permissions" use that to "Make all files writeable" and then check, via ftp, that this has changed the CHMOD of your files and directories to 775 or 777 (depending on your hosting configuration.)

If the problem persists go through a check to make sure everythign is installed correctly as though you were doing a manual installation of this mod using the following as a guide:

http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?topic=402.msg531#msg531

Fix any ommissions as appropriate.

yeah shortly after i posted this i decided to just reinstall it again and tried it out and it works now. I dont know what was wrong with the other installation but not many things were working on it. Thanks anyway

Version 1.6.5 released added a setting to count child categories link totals.

Excellent thread

[weightman]

Any other new features in new version? Alphabetize links inside categories? Is there a way to do that manually?

[vbgamer45]

Nope no other new features.

Until you can search in this mod thanks to the standard search box this mod is useless.

This message is not agressiv. I'm just disappointed.

You are, most certainly, entitled to your opinion...that said there would appear to be many satisfied users who don't share that opinion (I'm one of them.) Let's just remember that this mod has had, to date, 7014 downloads and I can't remember seeing any other postings with a similar view expressed in them. Each to their own...

[mkress]

that's a really great feature!!!!
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!

in languages/links.english.php

there are double translations:

Code Select Expand

$txt['smflinks_submittedby'] = ...
$txt['smflinks_returnindex'] = ...

Hi,

I am trying to manually install this...

but can you explain the code in installsql.php?

Code Select Expand



$dbresult = SHOW COLUMNS FROM WDB_links_cat
$ID_PARENT = 1;
$image = 1;
while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($dbresult))
{
if($row[0] == 'ID_PARENT')
$ID_PARENT = 0;
if($row[0] == 'image')
$image = 0;


}
mysql_free_result($dbresult);

if($ID_PARENT)
ALTER TABLE WDB_links_cat ADD `ID_PARENT` mediumint(8) unsigned NOT NULL default '0'
if($image)
ALTER TABLE WDB_links_cat ADD `image` tinytext

$dbresult = SHOW COLUMNS FROM WDB_links
$alexa = 1;
$pagerank = 1;
while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($dbresult))
{
if($row[0] == 'alexa')
$alexa = 0;
if($row[0] == 'pagerank')
$pagerank = 0;


}
mysql_free_result($dbresult);

if($alexa)
ALTER TABLE WDB_links ADD `alexa` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0'
if($pagerank)
ALTER TABLE WDB_links ADD `pagerank` tinyint(3) NOT NULL default '0'



Is that if upgrading?

Thanks in advance.

[vbgamer45]

That checks if you have an older version of the mod and upgrades the tables that is for an upgrade only

ALTER TABLE WDB_links_cat ADD `ID_PARENT` mediumint( unsigned NOT NULL default '0'
ALTER TABLE WDB_links_cat ADD `image` tinytext
ALTER TABLE WDB_links ADD `alexa` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0'
ALTER TABLE WDB_links ADD `pagerank` tinyint(3) NOT NULL default '0'

hello!

i have found a bug.

if you insert links with & in the url - the link gets "destroyed"

for example the link
http://www.handball-neusaess.de/index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=5&id=17&Itemid=41

get's to
http://www.handball-neusaess.de/index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=5&id=17&Itemid=41

so he does not work.

i hope you can give a workaround for that problem.

Markus


EDIT:

in sources/links.php following has to be changed:

find

Code Select Expand

    header("Location: " . $row['url']);

repllace with

Code Select Expand

    header("Location: " . htmlspecialchars_decode($row['url']));[/b]

I'm the only one who wants to search in links ?

[marzi]

Regarding the Bug Markus made a posting on, I Tried fca07's suggestion to:

EDIT:
in sources/links.php following has to be changed:

find
Code: header("Location: " . $row['url']);
repllace with
Code: header("Location: " . htmlspecialchars_decode($row['url']));

But I get the following error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: htmlspecialchars_decode() in /home/mydomain/public_html/myforum/Sources/Links.php on line 403

Anyone else have this same problem?

[mkress]

Sorry, the solution i posted only works with php5.

With php4 you should do the following:

find

Code Select Expand

header("Location: " . $row['url']);

replace with

Code Select Expand


$trans = array_flip(get_html_translation_table(HTML_SPECIALCHARS, ENT_QUOTES));
header("Location: " . strtr($row['url'], $trans));
