Some questions

Post by n3rvo »

Hi there, this is a great script, thanks for sharing it!

But, before I try to install it, I would like to ask you this:

Is there a way to categorize links with your script and to have directory-like situation?

Is it possible to set the maximum number of links per page?

Thanks much :D

Hi,

nope, not possible to categorize listings.

and

yes, you can (and should) set maximum number of links, default is 50.

Thanks man!

I got another one - Is it possible to have listings broken into several pages?

You see, I'd like to have more than 50 links, but also to be able to split those listings into separate pages.

Can it be done with your script?

Thx again :D

Unfortunately not yet. Because of many requests I will probbaly write a MySQL script in the future that will be able to categorize links and display multiple pages.

For now you can try installing LinkMan into separate folders, for example:
http://www.domain.com/links1/
http://www.domain.com/links2/
http://www.domain.com/links3/
etc...

Your probably have your "add links" form still pointing to original add_links.php file? You should change it to the one in the folder you want links to be written to.

Well all I can say is when I do get to write the MySQL version it will be WAY better than this one as MySQL gives more possibilities and better performance. I have no idea when I will start writing it though...

HOW or WHERE do I tell the addlinks.php to point to a different page such as resources.php (instead of links.php)? It sure seems simple enough but given my limited understanding of this language, I just can't seem to make it point there.

Emmm, open addlinks.php in a text editor, inside find links.php and change it to xxxxx.php?

There just in NO reference to "links.php" in the document "addlink.php" I find a "<form method=post action="addlink.php?<?php echo strip_tags(SID); ?>" method="POST" name="form">" at about line 195. What am I missing here?

Sorry to be so bothersome here but it's really kicking my butt and it should be SO SIMPLE to fix. My "Linkman" is working perfect EXCEPT I want links to show up on a page I have already created called "resources.php" instead of "links.php". Which page & code am I looking for to change 'links' to 'resources' to make this happen? Thanks again for your help.

You can simply rename links.php to whatever.php or use the code from links.php on any page you want (open in a text editor then copy/paste).

Note that the "Powered by" link must still remain visible.
