SMF Links

[vbgamer45]

glad you have it solved.

Am I missing something?  There doesn't appear to be any way to make this mod 'not active' (or rather, not visible to forum users ?

I want to get it all set up with the links and so on, before I "go live", if possible.

As it is, as soon as I install it 'Links' appears as a menu item for users.

If they click - nothing there yet - not a good look.


I apologise if I'm missing something that should be obvious

Permissions

[landyvlad]

Ah ! under member permissions ! Got it!  I was looking for something in the mod settings themselves.  Cheers for that !

[vbgamer45]

Glad you got it working! Yeah I try to make any of my mods that add a menu item permission based.

Running SMF 2.0.2, along with the latest version of this mod.  (see attached image)

Why are there two different edit/delete links in this mod?

If the above is normal...then, why isn't there a description for the secondary drop-down menu?

Thanks, in advance...

I'm having a similar issue as in this post. https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=98911.msg3235889;topicseen#msg3235889

Some permissions are showing up twice. I have searched through the files but can't seem to find a duplication.

SMF Links 3.0.6 running on SMF 2.0.14

[vbgamer45]

It was for own links and any links I guess the language strings were not setup correctly for 2.0

What is the update process please?  Is it just upload and install the new one, or do I uninstall./delete the old one first?
(It'd be cool if this info was included in the description of the mod, for easy reference)

Thanks

[vbgamer45]

Either way works.

Install new version on top

[landyvlad]

Install new version on top

So don't uninstall, install new version, and there should be no errors.
Assuming that works, do I then 'uninstall' the old one, or just 'delete' it from the package manager ?(but not files of course)  Thanks

[vbgamer45]

You don't have to uninstall the old one just leave don't delete

[landyvlad]

OK will do.
To save me posting and you answering - does that same answer apply to your other mods?

Leaving old version in the package manager seems a bit untidy to me. Not having a go at you mate, just wondering. Perhaps you could clarify.  I thought that 'deleting' an entry from package manager only deleted the 'install' files, not any actual files that are used for the mod to work?
I may be wrong on this of course, jus wanting to get my head around it is all    

In any event, at least I'll be able to update some more of the mods tonight
Thank you

[vbgamer45]

Well just saying if you ever have to uninstall things you would have to do it all manually in that case.

[landyvlad]

Oh OK, thanks mate.

[landyvlad]

The new version installed over the old no problem, I now have this in the package manager:

1.   SMF Links   3.0.5   Today at 05:02 pm   [ Upgrade ] [ List Files ] [ Delete ]
2.   SMF Links   3.0.6     Today at 05:02 pm   [ Uninstall ] [ List Files ] [ Delete ]

no green dot next to 3.0.5
green dot next to 3.0.6

Just leave as is now?

[vbgamer45]

yes just leave it.

Wasn't sure reading the description what this mod does? Not trying to overload my forum with mods but was curious what it does exactly or where is the effective visuals seen in the mods actions?

Thanks.

[vbgamer45]

It adds a button to your menu called Links which then displays a link directory
