Hi @Adriano Faria

i also have some trouble with the providers (No, it's NOT your App, switching providers and using the rebuild-tool did the trick, but new links are also not showing an image until running the tool again)

That said, i would love to test the new version with the new providers, if this is possible.

Thank you.

Was it you that just renewed?

[Adriano Faria]

@TheSonic, PM sent.

What is the "expected" behavior when submitting a new link? I thought it would automatically go out and create the new thumbnail without doing a Tools -> Rebuild but for me it didn't work that way. It stuck on the "Generating picture..." and wouldn't actually create a thumbnail until I used the Rebuild Tool.

 

[Adriano Faria]

It should create it immediately. The rebuild tool simply does nothing more than delete the current image. It makes exactly the same thing of when you submit a link. 

What is the URL of that link?

Just correcting this: it will vary on the service. As you already know, my app sends the request; they send a reply which is the image. That time between sending and receiving, it's not up to Links Directory.

Works fine here:

A delay can be anything in your site/connection, in their server, etc. Usually if you are viewing a return image from them (in this case the 'generating image'), it means that your request was received by them (LD done his job) and now you have to wait for their response.

I am interested in this but the market place images do not load when clicking on them (they are broken) so I can't see what it look like.

Any chance you can get those fixed?

2.  Index Page Sorting

Looking at the LD template index page, I can see the blocks of code for the various sections / blocks - (What's New, Random Links, Affiliates, and the Categories).

It would be great if these were sortable in the ACP.  Currently, I'd have to manually move the code around in the template.  It would be great if there was an option of how to arrange the blocks on the LD index page.

Just like I did on Classifieds, it is now available on LD for IPS 4.3:

I think I found a minor bug. Not very important.

when you add the widget of last comments to any page, you get the following info per comment:  user info plus date - Link URL of the Link & Comment

The Url of the "link" links to an invalid URL with this section at the end:  "https://www. ...   /&do=Comment&comment=2&tab=comments "

Links Directory 5.2.0 Beta 1 (IPS 4.3 only) available to be tested for those who has an active license for this app.

Just send a PM and you will get it.

@Adriano Faria I'd like the ability to sell (through commerce) a subscription for "featured" links. The featured links would appear at the top of their category listing. If there is more than one, they would rotate in order, but still stay listed above the other links.

I'd also like to have an option (on the admin end) to make this free (for specified sites).

Is this currently possible? If not, is it something we could add? I may be willing to sponsor this feature for 4.3.

[Adriano Faria]

No. I'm planning some changes in paid submissions but not for now, sorry.

Thanks for your quick response! Out of curiosity, what kind of changes are you planning for paid submissions?

[Adriano Faria]

Something like that you mentioned... like I did in Classifieds, with packages, etc.

What's New in Version 5.2.0:

Compatibility with IPS 4.3 ONLY!

New features:

• Abilitiy to add color to Categories (just like forums)
• Abilitiy to manage blocks on index portal: you can choose which ones to show and their position
• Link image in RSS Feed
• Support to Rest API

[admin sv]

Can I create a differents blocks to display in my home page? I don't want the standard (Pinned links, etc.).

For example, I want to have a block that display the categories but with the view of "Pinned links" (see the images of the links).

Another question, can I setup this pluggin that when the user click the link it goes directly to the link and no to the "link info view"???????

@Adriano FariaThx a lot!

You can create Custom Blocks and use wherever you want if you have Pages app; with only Links Directory, no.

If you edit its templates, yes. But I must say that I don't support changes in the app; support is provided to the stock marketplace version.

I upgraded to IPB 4.3.1 and then also the Links Dir to 5.2.0

The block "Links Feed" on my landing page got very strange and it also right-shifts (pushes) the sidebar. 

In the actual Links Directory, the category images are also shown as "full size", in my case 250x250 px. In the previous version (IPB 4.2.9 and LinksDir 5.1.0) the category images were resized to ~100 x 100 (smaller than the original size).

You can visit the site on https://99nicu.org (and you have a login since before ? )
