EmpireKicking Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 Doesn't this plugin allows to have Community/clans also. I'm thinking of having gaming clans and servers list and also VTC for American truck simulator.

RObiN-HoOD Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 What's the upgrade procedure from 3.4.x to 4.1.x? Currently I am still on 3.4.x, doing testings for 4.1.x. Adriano Faria 1

Square Wheels Posted June 16, 2016 Posted June 16, 2016 I love this app, I will be buying it soon! Adriano Faria 1
Adriano Faria Posted June 16, 2016 Author Posted June 16, 2016 Any suggestion? I need to make an adjustament in the upgrade process and fix one issue when viewing the link on a mobile device, so I'll release a new version until (or during) the weekend.
Square Wheels Posted June 16, 2016 Posted June 16, 2016 1 minute ago, Adriano Faria said: Any suggestion? For aesthetics, and computer challenged people - what is the purpose of Link To? I fear some people may try to click that, then realize it's not a link and try and copy and paste it. Does that need to show? Can it be hidden?
Adriano Faria Posted June 16, 2016 Author Posted June 16, 2016 2 minutes ago, Square Wheels said: Does that need to show? Can it be hidden? Yes: Actually, I've made a clean in a lot of things that I thought was not necessary. But this and a few other things I decided to keep but all of them are perfectly removeable by settings.

Martin1980 Posted June 16, 2016 Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) @Adriano Faria would it be possible to add a Google Maps (GEO) custom field? and I am unable to edit the link on your demo site, is that right? Edited June 16, 2016 by Martin1980

watchhead Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 Hello @Adriano Faria This app looks great. Have just purchased and installed it on my 4.1.12.3 board running PHP 5.6.22 I've added the app as a top level menu item but am getting a 500 error when trying to access it - the URL it's going to is ~/index.php?/links/ Any clues as to what might be wrong? Thanks in advance.

Seems to be a cache issue. If you don't know how to do it, PM me with ACP access and I'll take a look.

Adriano Faria Posted June 17, 2016 Author Posted June 17, 2016 The app is working. That's what I see: I got this because Guests can't use it, unless you give permission on Groups.
