Quick Links A free script to easily add and edit links on your site Freeware Version 1.0 Description This is a script I wrote which I wanted to use to speed up the process of adding or altering links on my sites. One common (and often time consuming) task is to add links from one of my pages to another webmaster's site. (OR from one of my sites to another one of my sites). This script does that without having to open up an HTML editor, or having to upload anything afterwards. It's all done on-line. Features • Password protected admin area. • Add links. • Edit and delete links on line. • Specify how many links you want to show at a time. • Built in links rotator. • Easy to set up. • 'Show all links' feature - this page can be run through a links checker. • Minimal load on the server (very efficient...) • Best of all - it's FREE! :-) Working Example Let's have a look at the script in action first. This won't look like much but it will show the links rotating on a regular HTML page. [ Example 1 ] Press reload / refresh a couple of times to test it out. Now on to the admin area. [ Admin area ] Enter username as user and password as pass. Have a poke around. It should be pretty straight forward. I've disabled altering anything but you'll be able to see how it all works. :-) Download & Installation Download the latest version HERE. This script has a lot of files but don't let that fool you. It's actually pretty easy to get it set up. We'll take it one step at a time - and please post on TNB if you have problems. I'll help you get this beast workin' on your server. ;-) This is a PHP script - so you'll need that on your server. MOST have that - so assume that you do and proceed with the rest of the installation. 1) Download the file (above). 2) Unzip it with something like Winzip. 3) Create a folder on your webspace for this thing to live in. I recommend calling this folder 'quick-links/' or something similar. 4) Open up settings.php in your text editor and change the username and password to something other than user and pass. 5) Upload all of the files to the folder you made earlier. 6) CHMOD the following files to 777: links.txt show_number.txt 8) You're DONE! Log into the admin.php page and start adding links there. You'll want to go to the edit page and remove the default links first probably. NOTE: Here's a tutorial on CH MOD if you've not done it before... NOTE: On any page where you'd like to include the links (example.html in the case above), you need to put the following SSI line (the page must be able to run SSI). <!--#include virtual="quick-links.php" --> You can run this on either .shtml pages, OR add the following line to your htaccess to run it on html pages (as I've done here...) AddHandler server-parsed .html That's about it. Give me a shout if you get stuck... Version Updates: ... none yet... Enter Tom's Newbie Booster here More tips, scripts and help...
