Links Directory

Links Directory is an application that provides your community with a member-driven web directory. Allow members to submit websites for approval in categories you define. Users can comment and rate other member’s submissions. You can also mark websites as official affiliates, fostering traffic between friends.

Features

• Submit links to websites along with a title, description, and an image generated from extensible APIs: Sneak.pw, WebThumbnail, Thumbshots (requires an API Key), and Upload field. You can also save the image locally, which will reduce the API call. The image is updated when you update the link. The admin can choose if new links are moderated, per category.

• Ability to charge per link, integrated into Commerce.

• Submit comments to links. Admin can choose if new comments are moderated, per category.

• Rate links using the star rating system used throughout the IPS4. Per category setting.

• Integrates to Share Links to share or email inks.

• Integrates to Google Maps if an address is provided in the link submission (IPS 4.1.13+: Google Map APIs now require an API key. Go to AdminCP -> System -> Community Enhancements to enable Google Maps support)

• The ability for users to report potentially offensive content or broken links using the built-in Report Center

• Search integration: search links along with the rest of your community’s content

• Supports item marking, allowing your users to see what links have been added or commented on

• Integrates into Activity Streams.

• Supports the built-in tagging system including prefixes.

• Support for notifications such as new links and comments on user links.

• Ability to follow/like categories and individual links.

• Unlimited categories of links, plus the unlimited depth of parent-child relationships

• Category Icons

• Drag & drop reordering of categories in the ACP.

• Per-category permissions to show categories, view links, submit links, add comments, and avoid approval queues

• Provide a “link back” code so other websites can link back to yours.

• Mark links as official affiliates and display them in a different section on the Links Directory Index

• Integrates into IPS4 Moderating system, which all common permissions, such as pin, unpin, delete, feature, move, etc.

• Per-category Permissions allow you to specify which permission sets are allowed to view categories, view links, add links, edit links, comment, rate, and avoid moderation at a granular level.

• Robust Admin Restrictions.

• Integration with the Advertisement system

• Integration with the Sitemap system to include links in your sitemap

• Ability to create RSS feeds of all links

• Integration with ACP Live Seach (Links categories)

• Support Extra Fields so you can define different fields per category

• Friendly URLs for links and categories

• Ability to configure the Links Index page to display the blocks you want

• And much, much more!

Notes

• Each purchase entitles you to the use of Links on one Community installation.

I sent you a message with a new version for tests.

What's New in Version 6.0.1

• Fix: https://www.sosinvision.com.br/index.php?/forums/topic/3097-links-directory/#findComment-18494

I added a Random Link block but it looks as if it is unformatted. Or is this the actual design?

Nope. I probably forgot to make it compatible with IPS5 templates. Test it more. I’ll have to release a new version to fix it.

Another things I noticed, I tried to use the Links Widget and show links as a carousel.

However, the carousel function did not seem to work (regular or autoplayed) that did not seem work.

But, I am fine with a minimal list instead (see example on 99nicu.org)

I didn’t use carousel, if I recall; only table or minimal. I’ll take a look.

Hello, the display in the most-clicked widget looks like this. The page structure seems broken and is not visually appealing. Could you take a look at it? I placed this widget in the left sidebar.

All the templates from all IPS4 apps had to be done almost from the scratch, so most likely things like that will happen here or there.

I’lltake a look up to the weekend. This time is necessary to make people keep using the app, so I don’t need to release a version right after the other.

The IPS5 version doesn't have a RANDOM LINKS anymore. You're probably seeing it because you came from the IPS4 version, right? The RANDOM option was added to the LINK FEED:

This isn't an option for the LD app; you can add any other widget in a carousel format. See:

Confirmed. Working on it.

What's New in Version 6.0.2

• Fix broken layout from TOP HITS and BEST REVIEWED LINKS widgets.

After updating the forum, such a mistake (((

Disable the app. I won’t update before the 5.0.4 final. Sorry.

If you have FTP access, do the change I’ve shown in the Tutorials app.

Issue after v5.0.4 upgrade

What's New in Version 6.0.3:

I edit a category links and the phrase 'links_category_icon_picker' seems to need some tweaks

I can't reproduce this, Chris:

Using 3.0.1.

EDIT: I just realized that your error says LINKS DIRECTORY and not Tutorials. You probably posted in the wrong support topic. I'll test LD.

EDIT2: Moved to the Links Directory topic.

What's New in Version 6.0.4:

• Fix missing language bits

• Templates tweaks

@TBB1234

Which widget is this (Most Clicked)?

It seems to be the TOP HITS? If it is, it's working just fine:

See: https://www.sosinvision.com.br/index.php?/forums/topic/3097-links-directory/#findComment-18699

Not sure why yours is still like that.

What's New in Version 6.0.5:

Enhancements

• Send a notification to moderators whenever a pending link is submitted

• Show a notice on the submission form stating that the record will require approval

• Templates tweaks

Adriano,
Google Maps is working across my site in general, and I’ve configured the necessary API settings correctly. In fact, the map works fine in the Clubs section. However, in the Links Directory plugin, when I enter an address in the company address field, the API recognizes the address, but after saving it, the map doesn't display it. Could you please check this?

Yes, yes, I’m aware. It’s not a problem — I’m just letting you know so you can add it to your bug list. These things come up as I use it, if there’s any issue.
