Get your directory fully indexed (tutorial + php code)

hmm. interesting tweaks, i'll try this on my new directory. thanks

 

Interesting. Will look into it as well and looking forward to some more feedback from other members.

 

You can give the directories RSS feed a link from the main page, in addition to the blog-style link tag inside the head tag:

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Yourdirectory.com RSS 2.0 Feed" href="http://www.yourdirectory.com/rss.php" />

Code (markup):

Having an anchor link to the directories rss feed in your footer would be even better.

And to erectadirectory, where is db_connect.php? I can't get mine to work.

 

<?php

$db_user    = "user_id"; // MySQL username

$db_pass    = "password"; // MySQL password

$db_host    = "localhost"; // MySQL host, mostly localhost

$db_db      = "database_name"; // MySQL database

$db_tbl     = "database_table"; // MySQL table

$connect = mysql_connect($db_host,$db_user,$db_pass);
if($connect == TRUE) {
 if(mysql_select_db($db_db) != TRUE) {
  exit("<span style='color: red'>Can't connect to the MySQL database. Please contact the webmaster.</body></html>");
 }
}else{
 exit("<span style='color: red'>Can't connect to the MySQL server. Please contact the webmaster.</body></html>");
 }
?>

PHP:

Sorry, I thought that was a gimmie. It's just a standard database connection shown above.

I clicked your site and it seems you have a header that is dropped in there with some links and a .js. That will not work with an rss feed. Nothing but xml is allowed.

Hope this helps
