SMF Links

[vbgamer45]

I don't know.   What is "this" mod anyway.   Sorry if I interupted your tea party, but where else would I ask a question like that.   I don't have priviledges to start my own topic.  I thought someone could help.  SMF links sounds like a topic that would apply to my question.

Goto permissions in your admin section.

Click on the group you want to edit. For example regular members.
Check the links Permissions that you want them to have.
I attached a screenshot.

Thanx dude! U are todays savior

Version 1.5 Released
Updated the mod to use language files
Better Guest add link support
New layout display
Added Image category icon option
You can change the category of a link easier now under edit link
Settings to show information on index and bbc control for link descriptions
Pages setting allows you to show how many links per page in a category

I suggest you upgrade to this version since I think it is a lot better heh

I've just installed this mod on 1.1.rc3. Nice one.

Some suggestions - some already mentioned.

Creation of sub catagories

Switch on/off different columns (which allow the description more space) such as Hits, Rating, Member Name and Date.

Alphabetical display of the links, not the order they were added

Option to not have descriptions of catagories, and allow more on screen space using tables (2 columns for example)

Anyway, great mod.

Great mod. Just what I was looking for. Found it right before I tried to integrate php link directory and smf.

I was wondering if future additions might have link sorting (alpha, ratings, desc , asc)

also I am sure some sort of page rank feature might be cool

thanks for you time

Hi !

I just need a small explanation on the mod..
Is this like a link exchange ? Or just a one way link ?
I mean does the user have to link back to my forum on his site ? That would be cool to boost your search engine position..

Even if it's a one way link, i'm still going to install the mod

[vbgamer45]

Its currently a  one way link. There is link approval option though.

[ramystyle]

vbgamer45: That is great !!! With the link approval just made my day !!
Thanks a lot !   

[ramystyle]

btw.. Is there a FRENCH language file for this mod ?

[vbgamer45]

No language packs have been made yet but feel free to make them heh.

Great mod, just installed it 

Do we have a time scale on when when a sub catagories feature will be added - I kind of need it for my project.

If this is still some time off, does anyone know of any similar mods / add ons which would do the job of a links directory (sub catagories, reciprocal links, list in multiple catagories, automatic email when link submitted etc...)

Thanks

Tim

Something in december I think for the next update. Been very busy lately though.

[ramystyle]

Alright !
I'll work on the french language pack in the coming weeks.. (I'll squeeze it in my schedule and upload the  zip file here )

hi vbgamer45

i wanted to ask - I use TP, is there a way for me to add a small list of the last 6 links added to the links directory and display it in a block ?

Last 6 Links added:
- link 1
- link 2
- link 3
- link 4
- link 5
- link 6
Add A Link (link for adding a new link)

You need to install the database tables manually. I would open up linksql.php and process the sql statements.
Then delete all the information inside linksql.php between<?php and ?> and then install the mod from there.

i tried 2 other packages from you, also the same

why is this not done automatically and not stated in readme, probably i was blind

[vbgamer45]

It seems to be a server config issue. Generally on most servers they install fine.
