Changing Guideline and Email.

    Does anyone know how I change the submission guideline, do I do it via FTP or in my PHPLD control panel? I have looked at submit.tpl and submit.php and I can't see the guildeline anywhere.

    Does anyone know how I put affiliate links on the link submitted and awaiting approval page?

    Does anyone know how I put affiliate links on my email that goes out when they have had a link accepted or just submitted.

    Guidelines should be in the submit.tpl file if not, you may have a "submitguidelines.tpl" file

    Affiliate links for the submitted and waiting would also probably be in the submit.tpl file

    Affiliate Links in the email: go here: ACP --> System --> Edit Email Templates and either edit the existing template or click the New Email Template Button and create a new one with the type of: Link Owner Notif.

    Is there anyway to find out if my Link Submitted and awaiting approval page is fixed? (I have just put the extra code in the paypal.tpl) Is there anyway for me to look at that page?

    Turn off payments and submit a test site.

    Ive seen e-mails with worse, ive seen a few e-mails that come after you submit to directories with viagra affiliate links, then un the footer of the e-mail a list of 40+ other directories that I assume owned by the same owner.

    On the other hand when doing a rejection e-mail before removing it I will send the submitter an personalized e-mail, reason, etc...

    I normally put something in the PayPal, it is best to provide a reason. I have started rejecting all of the link bid ones, I almost created a category for them and I busted one spamming and it put me off (this one guy just sort of gave them all a bad name unfortunately).

    In the last few weeks, I have recieved many e-mails from link bid directory owners with statements One in a life time chance to submit to a bla bla bla. Just stupid people with no sense of business ethics who spam your contact form if you have one.
