Change of Link to us URL and verification

[luckylabz]

Hi! I have 2 questions regarding the "Link to Us" feature.

1. I want to change the link of the link to us banners (http://luckylabz.com/forum/links/misc.php?do=linktous) from http://luckylabz.com to http://luckylabz.com/forum. How is this possible?

2. Can i setup something like a verfication that the directoy approves a link only automatically when there is a backlink from that page to our forum?

Many thanks for your help!

1). You could look in your 'ADV_LINKS_LINKTOUS' template and replace the 3 instances of '{vb:raw vboptions.homeurl}' with '{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}'.

2). Admin CP => vBa Links Directory => Submit/Edit Links Options => Reciprocal Link Check. If you change that to 'Yes, require a reciprocal link' then members will only be able to submit a link if they have included a link back to you on their site.

Hi Brian! Thank, both worked perfect.

2 other questions: Can you please have a look here: http://luckylabz.com/forum/links/spo...ps-und-mehr-4/

We need

1) That there is a direct link to easywetten.com instead of a redirect link like it is now: http://luckylabz.com/forum/links/sho...easywetten.com

and

2) The link is nofollow and we need that only this link is follow.


Many thanks for your help!

1). You can find instructions for that in this thread. Note that removing the redirect though will prevent vBa Links from being able to keep track of the number of hits for the website.

2). You could edit your 'ADV_LINKS_SHOWLINK' template and remove the nofollow condition from there.

Hi Brian,

i tried to edit the template but i have 2 problems:

1. I first only edit the link on the thumbnail here: http://luckylabz.com/forum/links/spo...verzeichnis-2/

It works now but the www. is missing at the wettnetzwerk . com link. Do you see that and do you have any idea to edit this that the correct URL is shown?

2. I removed all no follow conditions in the template but it is still nofollow. Maybe vbSEO produce a new nofollow attribute somewhere else?

Many thanks for your help!

1). If you use the variable {vb:raw link.linkurl} then it will use whatever URL was entered when the link was submitted.

2). The nofollow conditions I'm seeing in your source code are not even in the default place, so it does appear that some other product/plugin is adding those.
