Quick PHPLD Question

Can you set up PHPLD to automatically approve and publish links when they are submitted?
If not does anyone know of any software that can do this?

 

Eek. You really sure you would want to do this? It would instantly turn your directory into a free-for-all.

 

Yeah, it's not for the publics use though. If for something pretty specific.

 

This could be done, but you would need to contact David for info on how to make the modification.

 

Are that any that has the option built-in?

 

If it's not for public consumption, why bother categorizing? Are your private users really going to submit so many links that you need a directory to handle it? Why not use a simple FFA script?

 

It's for a large number of users but on a closed network.

 

open the posibility to spam...

 

I don't think it would be too difficult to have it automagically approve the sites, I haven't taken a look but I'm willing to bet you can easily change the sql statement in submit.php.

 

I know you can approve all pending links in the admin panel using Validate Links, but I think to get the link to auto approve would take some code modifications.

Why not install a wiki? Do you need to validate the links every so often?

 

Aaah, that might be worth looking at, thanks

 

I'm a very lazy developer. I'd much rather use off-the-shelf technology that mostly meets my needs than develop the exact thing that meets my needs.

Here is where you can modify submit.php in phpld to automatically accept all links submitted (turns out I was right the first time I just fat fingered the keyboard!):

} else {
	SmartyValidate :: connect($tpl);
	$data = get_table_data('link');
-->	$data['STATUS'] = [color=red]2[/color];
	$data['IPADDRESS'] = get_client_ip();
-->	$data['VALID'] = [color=red]2[/color];
	$data['LINK_TYPE'] = $link_type;

Code (markup):

I tested this, and it works.

 

Thanks Tim, you're a Legend, if I hadn't already repped you I'd do it again!
