SMF Links

[Kindred]

hafizadam,

this mod is not really intended as a download mod...   so you are stretching it to do something that it was not really intended to do...

text changes can be made by changing the values in modifications.english.php

[hafizadam]

Actually the idea is because of:

1. our users mainly using MediaFire as their hosting, external server
2. we have multiple files to download for a category (The same concept as Mangas, they have Volume 1, 2, 3 etc.)

I've took a look on another download Mod, but the users have to open each Volume in a New Page before they saw the Download Link. It's such a bother for them especially when they have crappy connection and missed a whole bunch of Volumes to download. So this Mod will be very helpful as all Volumes are in one page and the users can access them directly. One click will bring them the MediaFire page.

Anyway, thanks for the tips. I'll try to look into that.

How does this work on EZPortal with a custom theme. I see it on the portal page but how do you and links to it?

You need to have SMF Links installed. Then there will be a links option in the menu to add link categories.

after upgrading to RC2 version,
guests and regurlar cannot add links again even though i enabled it for them in the general permission

Can the "Links" tab in the menu be renamed?

Yes, You an rename it in the modifications.english.php file...or modifications.english-utf8.php file ....find LINKS. Change it

Hi VB, I am using SMF 1.10, how can I get the total amount of hits? I tried this code, but it only outputs the nr of links, and not hits:

Code Select Expand


function template_linkhits($output_method = 'echo')
{
   global $db_prefix, $txt, $scripturl, $modSettings;

   $totals = array(
      'members' => $modSettings['totalMembers'],
      'posts' => $modSettings['totalMessages'],
      'topics' => $modSettings['totalTopics']
   );

   $result = db_query("
      SELECT COUNT(t.hits) as total
      FROM {$db_prefix}links as t", __FILE__, __LINE__);
   list ($totals['linkhits']) = mysql_fetch_row($result);
   mysql_free_result($result);

   if ($output_method != 'echo')
      return $totals;

   echo 'Totaal aantal hits: ', $totals['linkhits'], '.';
}

Is there somewhere you can see a list of the current links available for download? 
I'd rather not do the install if the links aren't really compatible with my site.

[vbgamer45]

No but it works fine with SMF 1.1.x and SMF 2.0.x

   This mod does not install any links. It installed a feature for your board to allow people to add links in a link directory on your board

Any ideas on this?

[vbgamer45]

Just remove the COUNT() you don't need it just t.hits

[Angelotus]

I did tried that, but it only gives my the nr of hits of the first row. Not from all the rows as a total...

[Kindred]

right...  because your code as written is only selecting one row from one column....  you need to place the t.hits into an array and then do a  foreach to read it back out.

[Angelotus]

a thanks! Will do that!

HI vbgamer !

Just found your LINK mod which is fine but i have linktree navigation twice. Same error as in downloads but i did not remeber what to modfy.

[vbgamer45]

Remove theme_linktree from the templates for SMF 2.0 will get that fixed thanks!

[vbgamer45]

Posted an update to fix the duplicate linktree for SMF 2.0

[petesky]

OK fine thanks. If there are no more changes i'll use it as it is. Is there a pro version available ?
