About This File

Links Directory is an application that provides your community with a member driven web directory. Allow members to submit websites for approval in categories you define. Users can comment and rate on other member’s submissions. You can also mark websites as official affiliates, fostering traffic between friends.

  • Submit links to websites along with a title, description, and an image generated from extensible APIs: Sneak.pw, WebThumbnail, Thumbshots (requires an API Key) and Upload field. You can also save the image locally, which will reduce the API call. Image is updated when you update the link. Admin can choose if new links are moderated, per category.
  • Submit comments to links. Admin can choose if new comments are moderated, per category.

What's the upgrade procedure from 3.4.x to 4.1.x?

Like any other app: System tab -> Applications -> Out of date applications. On the app row, click in the button to Upload a new version. Browse to the TAR file included with these instructions and click Open.

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.

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?

I'm having so many problems with other applications on PHP7... a lot of them paid applications.  Nice to have on that works without an issue!  

Thanks again for the wonderful app, get investment for my forum.  :smile:

would it be possible to add a Google Maps (GEO) custom field?

Not sure how. There's no address field anywhere.

EDIT: the APP supports Extra Fields. You can use them. Not sure if that type is available on Core.

I am unable to edit the link on your demo site, is that right?

You are moderator. You should be able to. Anyway, there's a forum there where you can post bugs & suggestions.

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.

Have you tried to clear the cache or even restore the menu and publish it? 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.
