After nearly 2 months with the beta and RC versions of the links directory being public, we're proud to announce the release of vBa Links Directory 2.0.0 (Gold). We are confident that the number of remaining bugs should be minimal enough to warrant the "Gold" release and that the product is very stable now. Current license holders can find the new version in the Members' Area here.

This is mostly a maintenance release to fix all known bugs that popped up in 2.0 RC1, though new options to require/request reciprocal links on a per-category basis and to enable collapsible cateogries in the admin cp have also been added.

Brian,

There's probably a new feature list elsewhere in the forums, but it'd be great to post that list here seeing as how this is the official announcement thread !!

Thanks !

Mike

Site wide? You must have a CMPS module from vBa Links 1.0 installed then (heh... you edited before I could post ).

Easy fix: Set the module to inactive.

Slightly Harder Fix: Check the hacks forum for an updated module. Or, open the module you're using for the Links Directory and change the query.

FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "links
- should be -
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "adv_links

- And -

LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "links_categories
--Should be --
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "adv_links_categories

I didn't think about that part, but removing "WHERE valid = 1" will cause it to also pull links that have not yet been approved. If you change that to "WHERE adv_links.valid = 1" though, that should take care of the problem.

When you click on a link and it brings the drop down menu, that menu slides with the mouse cursor. So if you mouse up or down to a neighboring link, that drop down changes.

While this seem cool in theory, it causes a little issue because you tend to slide the mouse around and can accidental move to a different and close link thus when you click on visit it goes to the wrong link.

suggestion would be to stick that drop down to the hyperlink instead of leaving it floating.
