Mark I fixed the problem no worry looking for it.

Congrats! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/yay.gif" alt="" /><br /><br /> Not sure where the problem might be... it makes me think it might be server setup if no-one else is having the same problems. I'll re-upload all files and try again <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Yeah if you have access to a few different sites as Josh meantioned look into register globals. I would suspect that as the first suspect thus requiring the get variables to be defined more. <br /> <br />After I saw your problem I tried it and it works for me.

Yeah, you'd get that message when adding a category if ($title) is empty.<br /><br />Allen you also might try adding <br /><br />echo "Title: $title";<br /><br />in the script somewhere and see if it has a value.<br />If not try adding <br /><br />$title = get_input("title","post");<br /><br />near the top with the other get_input function. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

will do Josh, thanks <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Okay, now I can create/add categories and subcategories, but when I attempt to submit a link, it says that the url is not valid or is temporarily unavailable. It tells me to click the link to check it, and when I do, the link works perfectly. Any suggestions?

Do you approve the links after they are submitted?

It wasn't showing them as being submitted. Don't know what the problem was but Nikos fixed it I guess.

It sounds like y'all found the problem and it was with register globals being off? I'll add that get_input() that Josh spoke of.<br /><br />shortbus, I found out (at least most of the times) why some urls won't work even though they are good urls. Basically, it has to do with server redirects. Let me see if I can clarify this. If you put in, say http://www.fish-tails.net (note there is NO trailing slash) in the address bar of your browser (or just click the link) watch the address bar and it will add the trailing slash, which is the server basically redirecting you to the default directory. Now, if someones home page is not the default directory and is in effect in another directory, the script can not resolve the new location because it is expecting the exact url.<br /><br />In either case, php will not allow (at least from waht I've found out) to follow the redirect, hence the url is returned false.<br /><br />I haven't figured out how to overcome this, so if anybody knows, please speak up. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <br /><br />Well, I was just previewing this post, and noticed that the trailing slash was added for me, when I stated there was no trailing slash. It appears the answer may be before me without knowing it.

I am not a programmer, but can't a check loop be used? Would it be possible to check the URL the way it is now and if false append the slash and recheck, if still false then return the failed check screen. <br /><br />I did a modification like that to script used (perl) to update a user file. I read the Users Name out of WWWthreads and modified it to be used as a directory level password. I checked and removed all non allowed characters if it failed the check.<br /><br />Thanks for this script. I will eventually be switching over from Links 2.0 to this.<br /><br />Good Luck,<br />Dale<br />

This is great and I'm proud to say we've gone live with this here.<br /><br />Suggestion for the approval page. Either a "approve all" link or radio buttons (like when we approve members).<br /><br />It would be nice to zip down a list of links and approve them all. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

WOW, I'm touched!!!!!!!!! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> Looks great with this new theme as well!!!!! Good suggestion on the radio buttons, Josh. I'll add that to the todo list. What I want to do for the next release is to squash some of the little critteres that are annoying, optimize some of the queries so there's not so many calls, and finish the language files for the general and admin area. Thanks to all who have contributed to the links directory. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/peace.gif" alt="" />

We love it <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />Would be nice to delete categories tho <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I've also added a bit to mine to sort the sub-categories on the order that they are entered, rather than alphabetical - would be cool to be able to sort the sub-categories manually, as one doesn't always need them in the default order <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I want to thank you for this nice hack ! I installed it on my website www.inpiega.com and works perfectly. <br /> <br />I noticed that most of the text was not in the language files so I decided to contribute to this doing it myself, attacched to this message you'll find a version with all text in the language files (English and Italian avaiable) and a small modification: now user can edit or remove the links they added. <br /> <br />Here other suggestion: <br />

• All text in language files [Done, see attacched file];
• Users should be able to edit their links [Done, see attacched file];
• Categories should have a comment;
• Administrator should be able to move a link;
• Administrator should be able to delete categories;
• To be able to use the search engine of the forum to search links in the link database ;
• Could be good also changing the way categories works, not like folders as happen now but like... categories: <br />Example: <br />Green apples website: categories --> Colors | Furits <br />In this way a site could appear in more than one category. <br />

<br /> <br />I hope I have done something useful.

I added the .zip file for this to my threads directory and unzipped it there. Links.php went into the threads directory while everything else wento into the new links directory. I went to the links.php page in my browser and got these SQL errors:<br /> [] SQL ERROR: Unable to do_query: SELECT lid,cat_id FROM w3t_links_links WHERE approved = '1' <br />Table 'laondal_boards.w3t_links_links' doesn't exist<br />Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/laondal/public_html/foros/links/links_show_cat.php on line 46<br />SQL ERROR: Unable to do_query: SELECT * FROM w3t_links_categories WHERE parent_id = '0' ORDER BY 'cat_order' <br />Table 'laondal_boards.w3t_links_categories' doesn't exist<br />Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/laondal/public_html/foros/links/links_show_cat.php on line 66<br />There are () links in our database. [/] <br /><br />I figured the database would have to be altered, but there weren't any new tables yet for the links directory. Then it occurred to be that it says in the instructions to click on "Links Admin" to do the install (which explains why there are no tables). So I did that and I got this error:<br /><br /> [] Parse error: parse error, unexpected '<' in /home/laondal/public_html/foros/links/links_admin.php on line 659 [/] <br /><br />Ok. So what do I need to do to fix these problems so I can install the links directory?

I'm getting that parse error as well now...<br /><br />-peter

Thats easy fix Line 659 of Links_Admin looks like it is missing a "<br /><br />Your file reads this<br /><br />print <p align=\"center\"><font size=\"-2\"><b>TLD by <a href=\"http://www.fish-tails.net\">Fishtails</a></b></font></p>";<br /><br />I double checked my working copy and it should be this<br /><br />print "<p align=\"center\"><font size=\"-2\"><b>TLD by <a href=\"http://www.fish-tails.net\">Fishtails</a></b></font></p>";<br />

did you guys figure out a rememedy to the redirect or whatever the problem was with the / or whatever? <br /><br />Still having trouble. Thanks.

I just installed this today, and you have to fix what chuck pointed out.. but also, when going to the links.php file as per the instructions, it would give SQL errors because the tables weren't created.<br /><br />It should have asked you whether or not you want to upgrade or create tables, but it didn't. But you can do so manually by doing this:<br /><br />http://www.domain.com/forums/links/links_admin.php?op=create_tables<br /><br />Or, whatever the path to that file may be. That will create the tables, and all of the SQL errors should have went away <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
