vBa Links Directory 1.0.1 (vB 3.0 & vB 3.5) Released!

[Brian]

vBadvanced Links Directory 1.0.1 has just been released and is available to license holders in the Members' Area here. This includes both versions for vBulletin 3.0.X and vBulletin 3.5. While this version is mostly a maintenance release to fix currently known bugs, there are also a few other changes outlined below.

• Permissions system updated to be more independent from vBulletin and require 3 less file changes to 2 of your vB files during the initial installation.
• New separate Admin and Mod CP so that it is no longer necessary to modify your vBulletin files to add these.
• vBadvanced Global Replacement options will now affect the links directory as well.
• All currently known bugs have been fixed.
• General coding clean up.

Upgrade instructions may be found at the bottom of the readme file included with the zip package.

[Brinnie]

[Mikaelweb]

There's the demo where you can try things out. It does allow your users to rate links and includes a What's Popular section, but I'm not sure if you could consider it a toplist.

Sounds like you either hit the button twice, or you already have a column named links_ugroups (though I don't see why you would). Did the version number in your footer get updated?

[surfdude]

Oh, great news, just as my licence expired after ages of no updates .

[Brian]

It's only $9.99 to renew it for another year.

[Rebecca]

Thanks so much, Brian. I was waiting for this!

Same here; I was planning on upgrading, and when I pointed my browser over to the vba_links.php install file, I got this message:

Parse error: parse error, expecting `')'' in /home/httpd/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/forums/admincp/vbalinks_install.php on line 3547

did u make sure u downloaded the 3.5 one with ur 3.5 board and not the other way around?

[Brian]

I'm not sure if my FTP program had a problem when I was transferring the files or what. I've just updated the install file though and that should solve the parse error.

That solved the problem Brian, thanks .. all works well now on 3.5.0 RC1

[Kaelon]

Great - it installed/upgraded, but now, when I look inside a directory, I get this error:

Warning: Second argument to str_repeat() has to be greater than or equal to 0 in /includes/functions_links.php on line 505

... and again this on a fresh, brand new installation:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /includes/functions_links.php on line 629

[Brian]

Try saving your directory display order in the admin cp so that your cache will be updated and that should take care of the problem.

Just a minor notice: http://www.vbadvanced.com/products.p...roductinfo&p=2 is not up to date .

Doh, thanks for that, I forgot about renewal option. Sorted!

Any info on future direction/features of this great Links script?

I'd like to see ability to include thumbnail images and perhaps sponsored links that appear on the top of every category and allow more detailed link description to be displayed for those willing to pay and be prominently listed.

[Brian]

Work on 2.0 will begin soon. We don't really have a set feature list yet, but I can tell you that there will be a LOT of new stuff and almost an entire re-write of the code.

You have a bug in your code and it appears on your demo too. The navbar points to the wrong directory path:
e.g. http://www.vbadvanced.com/links/faq.php? instead of http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/faq.php?
How do you fix it?
