Points for submitting a link 4. Points for getting a link featured 5. Points if a link gets pinned 7. Points if a link gets X hits I will add these in the new version. I'll see how it goes then I can add the others. Edited April 2, 2020 by Adriano Faria Bluto 1

Duken Posted April 6, 2020 Posted April 6, 2020 Hi, great application but the images from: https://miniature.io/ does not work. I have a API key but cant enter it in te application. Screenshot machine has a working API but when i use this one there is an SSL error on the pages within the Link application. Can miniature be fixed?

Duken Posted April 6, 2020 Posted April 6, 2020 (edited) Thanks, i tried. Rebuild does not work. Also after a few hours. Screenshot machine is a good service that works. But i get SLL errors when this service is used on the Links pages Looks like an error. I save the images locally. Hope there is a fix. Thank you! (Maby the miniature API is also a fix) edit: You mean refresh thumbnail right? Not rebuild? Edited April 6, 2020 by Duken
Adriano Faria Posted April 6, 2020 Author Posted April 6, 2020 Refresh on Link Actions menu on link view. I’m not responsible for 3rd-party service as I already explained several times in this topic. If a screenshot provider isn’t work, then switch to another. If no service available in the application is working, then I accept suggestions of a working provider. Send a message with Screenshot Machine credentials if you want me to try it. Duken 1
Duken Posted April 6, 2020 Posted April 6, 2020 Hi, the refresh did not work. I understand. I switched to Screenshot machine back and now the SSL error is gone. Ill check it out and let you know. If i can use the screenshot machine its great. Adriano Faria 1

kmk Posted April 12, 2020 Posted April 12, 2020 This app work: when I submit a website, the app automatically fill all information of the website? Images, map, description about the website... Or I wrong? 1. I would like create a school directory, but it will be hard work because I will have to collect all information and images then upload it. This app help me to avoid mentioned hard work? 2. After I created those websites links, maybe some websites link owners want to request the admin rol to manage the link and interact with the community members, as customers services and marketing. There any mechanism designed to transfer the link owner and let themselves pay for the request? 3. There ability to add more tabs under each link? e.g. Add a faq tab, add a topics tab(if the link work as customer services, there will be generate many events or topics that are commented by members, with a topic tab will help to keep these comments organized and engage participation) .

Duken Posted April 17, 2020 Posted April 17, 2020 Hi @Adriano Faria . Can i request a new feature? I want to keep the links even when the site stops, is offline or quits. Is there a way to change the URL to a dummy one so the reactions on a link will stay and guest from Google can still find information about the website? When i change the link now the thumbnail is changed. I want to keep the old thumbnail. Hope the is possible. Thanks. eskaiter 1

When i change the link now the thumbnail is changed. I want to keep the old thumbnail. I’ll try anyway. The link image and thumbnail has always its path updated when you edit a link; that’s how it works. The API returns a new URL and update the path. Duken 1
Duken Posted April 17, 2020 Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) Sorry, for the misunderstanding. What i do now is change the URL to my own website so the link works. But the thumbnail is wrong. Maby there is a way to add "website is offline" option so the "visit link" is gone? Thats better for Google / Visitors that they don't enter a dead URL or something. Edited April 17, 2020 by Duken
Adriano Faria Posted April 17, 2020 Author Posted April 17, 2020 It has a link checker with a couple of options: hide or delete the link, if I’m not mistaken. You can enable the setting and a task will run once per day or week (not sure) to check your links status.

Great, so "Hide links" means that the page still exists but the visit link button is removed? Can this also be done manually on a linkobject? Sometimes the domain is sold so its redirected and linkdirectory "thinks" is online. Is this a format issue, or am i doing anything wrong? I use the default IPB theme but when you add text to the categories and the background is gray the letters has a white background. Also within the categorie. Is this normal?

It’s used everywhere, including forums index. Duken 1
Duken Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 Ok thanks. One last question, is there a way tot see what links are hidden? Or is there a notification? I cant find a filter about hidden / offline links.
Adriano Faria Posted April 19, 2020 Author Posted April 19, 2020 1 hour ago, Duken said: One last question, is there a way tot see what links are hidden? ModeratorCP -> Hidden Content. Then you will see all apps and their content: item (links in this case), comments and reviews. Duken 1
Bliss99 Posted May 4, 2020 Posted May 4, 2020 (edited) I just bought this and am excited to use it! I turned on an example paid package, made it available to all member groups, mock logged in as a basic member - and it let me add a link without paying. Paid submission is ON. What do you think might be happening? I want to feature links that just have the image, and do not have any other info on our home page. I want to use the LINKS FEED block to do that. How can I make that happen? Even better would be to remove the word LINKS and just have the logos. That's what our people want. Edited May 4, 2020 by Blisslandia

Bliss99 Posted May 4, 2020 Posted May 4, 2020 I made a custom field, made it required, but it's not showing up when adding a link. Is there an extra step involved?
