I didn't know if I should edit the original release or post it as a new thread or a message within this thread. So anyway, here it is. After much work, I think I got a release that can be dubbed for BETA testing. <br /> <br />What is it: TLD is a Yahoo style links manager specifically designed from the ground up for use with UBBThreads. <br /> <br />Author: Fishtails <br />Version: TLD - BETA v1.00 <br />Credits: Gardener for help with loops <br /> Threadsdev.com for inspiration <br /> Josh Pet <br /> Raconteur <br /> Did I miss anyone? <br /> <br /> <br />This is a BETA release of the Threads Links Directory. If you are not comfortable in testing scripts then please don't fool with it. <br /> <br />Files Changed : I think all files were changed. <br />No database changes. <br /> <br />Change Log - http://www.fish-tails.net/dev_test/ubbthreads/links/links_change_log.txt <br /> <br />Demo: http://www.fish-tails.net/dev_test/ubbthreads/links.php <br /> <br />Instructions: <br /> <br />Threads Links Directory Docs. <br /> <br />Backup your files and database FIRST! <br /> <br />This is the first BETA release of TLD and is being released as a BETA test. <br />If you are not comfortable in testing this script then DON'T! <br /> <br />Designed for use with UBBThreads ver 6.2 <br />May work with earlier versions but are not supported. <br /> <br />Directions: <br /> <br />Unzip the files and upload them to you UBBThreads installation <br />so that the main links.php script is in the same directory as your ubbthreads.php file. <br />The links folder will also be in the same tree <br /> <br />You should have the following structure: <br /> <br />ubbthreads/links.php <br />ubbthreads/links/the other files and folders. <br /> <br />You will need to add a link to your registerednav.tmpl and unregisterednav.tmpl of your UBBThreads <br />or where ever you want to have it. The link should point to links.php <br /> <br />Log in as admin and click the link to links.php. You will then be able to access the admin script from there. You will experience sql errors on the first run but this is only because the tables have not been built yet. Once you get to the admin page you will find the link at the bottom of the page to create your tables. Remember, you should always backup your files and database prior to installing these scripts. <br /> <br />Please provide feedback in this thread ASAP for further development. <br /> <br />Thanks and enjoy! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <br />Mark Summerlin <br />http://www.fish-tails.net <br />[]angler@fish-tails.net[/] <br /> <br />

good job

Way to go Mark!!!<br /><br />This is Sweeeeeeeeeet! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/applause.gif" alt="" />

http://www.threadsdev.com/threads/php/links.php<br /><br />I've added 6 or so categories (one with 3 subcats) and they aren't showing up yet <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> Looks good so far tho <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

he he<br />Looks like a polar bear in a snowstorm. LOL

Nice work I would love to see this working but I get the same errors as Allen. What is interesting is there are no links for anyone to add anything in the first place showing up. I added a few cats in the admin section but nothing shows and no links show for users to enter anything <br /> <br />http://www.reeftalk.com/ubbthreads/links.php <br />

aahhh... alpha <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Yes thats me thinks thats before beta <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Whoops! Try this link. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> http://www.threadsdev.com/threads/php/links.php?op=Links<br /><br />I forgot to add that in the instructions. The script uses a switch operator, so your link to the main script needs to have ?op=Links behind links.php. ha ha! I can be stupid sometimes. Not all the time though, just some of the time. Had me going there for a minute. I was quite confused as to why you wouldn't get anything and I would.

ame here. http://www.reeftalk.com/ubbthreads/links.php?op=Links That's my fault, not saying anything about the ?op=Links. I submitted my link to you Omegatron, and it shows accepted, waiting for review. Unfortunately, the one I submitted to threadsdev didn't take for some reason. I need to check that.

Hmmm. I submitted the same site, which is a valid site. On Omegatrons it accepts it, but on the threads dev it does not validate. ......

I found an "irritation"<br /><br />When you submit a link you have to include a trailing slash. For example the script claims that <br /><br />http://www.dalantech.com<br /><br />is not a valid url but<br /><br />http://www.dalantech.com/ <br /><br />is valid. Irritating... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

he he... I went there and it said your link was waiting to be approved. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> I approved you. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Thanks <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

This is looking really good! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /><br /><br /> May I suggest.......<br /><br /><br />So that by default if you go to links.php it'll show you the links if theres no switch operator. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />Also... error messages and output would be nicer in a table. Maybe thats coming. I know this is Alpha.... <br /><br />But it look really good so far. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif" alt="" /><br />(I added that graemlin just for you so I could post it here.)

I'll leave my link for Allen or Dave to approve. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Well I'll be dog gone! Same here. The first time I did not include a trailing slash and it would not take. But with it, it does. Now, on Omegatrons site, I didn't include a trailing slash and it took. Something weally scwewy goin on awound hew! What are y'alls system configs, if you don't mind my asking?

Redhat Linux with PHP version 4 something (not sure, could find out if you need specifics).

Thanks Josh. I'll try that and see what happens. I'm heading out of town on Friday for a few days so I probably won't have a chance to do anything until I get back. That will give plenty of time for feedback, though so far there's a long way to go. Thanks for the special graemlin my man! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
