Links Directory

[Adriano Faria]

Sometimes it doesn’t work on first time, not sure why. It depends on your site, the capture provider, etc. If that happens, go to Link Actions menu and use the option to rebuild thumbnail. Usually it works. If still insists, then choose another provider.

Oh yeah, I checked back and it now loads. Thanks anyway ! 😅

Hi. In the Featured Links widget, what controls the order of appearance? Currently, on my site, the most recent one is actually hidden to the right.

Thanks!!

There is no Featured Links widget. You mean the block in the index where you enable via settings? If so, it's random, which is better than a static list of records.

Hi. Right, I meant the block. Understood. How often does it refresh the random order? Is it on each page reload or when a new link is posted?

[Adriano Faria]

Every page load, as it isn't a widget. 👍

Hi again 😉

So, here's my problem. I am trying to use link directory in Clubs, the idea being that each club can have its 'own' links. The problem is, that if anyone else - the main forum or any other club - has listed that link, you cannot list it again, it come's out duplicate and therefore is rejected. Is there any way to create a function that allows duplicates? Either that or can there be an additional flag that is attached to the club itself so that the link is its own record but can sort of appear again?

Thanks Adriano.

There’s a setting to allow duplicate links.

Weird. Took a quick look (mobile phone now) and couldn’t find it too. Wonder if I’ve removed by mistake.

Will check the code tomorrow in the morning.

Sorry @Giray, my bad. I have this on a custom version for a client. Just added this in the new version:

Should be out in a couple of days.

What's New in Version 5.4.6:

New Feature:

• New setting to allow users to add duplicate Link URL

Fix:

• Share image on social media
• Set the default MySQL Storage Engine in links_package table

[Adriano Faria]

File reuploaded. No new feature. Only a change for those who will upgrade from an older version to 5.4.2 of the app.

If you're on current version (5.4.6), you don't need to upgrade it. Verison kept.

Hi @Adriano Faria

Tx for the latest improvements,

Cant wait to see the Jobs app out !

By the way, for the Links app, would it be possible to add a min width for the uploaded images ? as many users upload some very small images and we always have to replace them manually tx !

[ChrisTERiS]

Hello,

2 pre-sales questions:

1.- Does it supports grid system in listings or only the old forum listing (one per row).

2.- Does it supports Clubs?

Thank you

[Adriano Faria]

1: No  Grid view usually is for categories listing, not records.

2: Yes

Hi @Adriano Faria

Tx !

[Adriano Faria]

You mean on manual upload?

[Durango]

Yes :)

 

[Adriano Faria]

Ok. I’ll take a look when I have to update the app.

I don't know what you're talking about. If FILE SIZE will help, then it's there:

Otherwise, I won't add this now and will come back (maybe) in a future version.

The minimum dimensions:

What's New in Version 5.4.7:

New Features:

• New setting to control the minimum image dimensios when uploading link thumbnail
• New setting to control the file size when uploading link thumbnail

Enhancements:

• Admin CP menus reorganized
• ACP Affiliates page merged with Links page
• Added ability to choose extra field position per field (sidebar or below link description)
  • Due to that, setting to reposition extra fields types was removed. Upgrader will take care of extra fields position based on the old setting.

Hi @Adriano Faria

Thanks a lot !

We installed the new version

Image size works great

but images minimum dimensions we have a problem

when you say minimum dimensions : 1000 * 500, we agree 1000 = width, and 500 = height ?

Here are our settings :

 

But when we try to upload an image of 960 * 400, it tells us it doesnt match the minimum image dimensions
