Thank YOU, Ian!

So did all the bugs ever get fixed allen? Like the not being able to edit the categories and such.

Nope, not there yet... it's a bit over my head, but I hope to plug away at it in the next week or so

Besides not being able to edit categories, what other bugs have you guys found? I'll work on getting them fixed

go Allen go... I've been waiting ever so patiently for this mod to get a little more polish, it will be very useful on my site someday! plus I'm about sick of members constantly asking if I'm ever gonna have a links page.

a small suggestion from way out here in left field for future enhancements (after bug fixes), it would be really REALLY cool if we could somehow have ratings on the links managed by this mod just like we have on member profiles.

Many thanks to LK, the file has been updated with fixes for the categories problems. Please check and let me know if they work for you

ps: made the 'add link' page require login, eventually the link will only show to those logged in.

other misc. bugfixes

Allen, you could just add <span class="ip-is-loggedin"></span> around the link

really? that works on ubb.classic's in general?

ah, cool

Will update files once I get a couple other things done - those that 'need' it now can add the spans around the 2-3 spots that have:

<b><a href="links.cgi?action=add">$vars_wordlets_links{links_add_afile}</a></b>

Files updated for (v1.6) - breadcrumb bugfix/patch done and (Go!) links added for category view.

file updated (v1.7) for search-engine-friendly links.

To upgrade, just upload links.cgi

how and where could i stick an if() in this script to politely screen out a particular link that i want to block folks from adding?

One thing the script does need is to run entries through the censored words filter. If your link is entered in the banned words list it should block it then.

hmmmmm... never thought of doing that, and that would actually solve several problems. thanks!

shuckz, i'm getting the following error with this mod on my 6.7.1 site

http://dragboatalley.com/cgi-bin/links.cgi

i swear i never get anything right the first time

did you make sure to upload vars_wordlets_links.cgi?

its not in the zip currently on the download link (page 1) ?

Files updated to 07/18/2004 - (v1.8.5) Censor check added to add/edit link pages and using ubb-based verification for the same pages Anything (including url's) you have in your ubb's bad word filter will be filtered here.

I fixed some other misc. bugs, but don't remember right now. To update, just upload the links.cgi file. (zip contains the wordlet file now, please check it )
