Current Version: 0.9 beta
last updated: 6/24/02
******IMPORTANT UPDATE 11/02******
There's been a number of bugs found with this script. Lynda had been working on a mySQL version but that was several months ago – so I think she's moved on.
I'm sorry, but I've ceased development of this script. Blogrolling.com seems to be developing (or has developed) one very similar (for mysql as well) that seemed to be more advanced than mine. I began to feel like I was re-inventing the wheel, except that my version of it was coming out square 😉
**************************************
About this script:
This script will create and maintain a list of links (similar to, although admitedly not as cool as, blogroller). The nice thing about this is that it lives on your server. you can still customize the display. you can chose to display a randomly selected few from the list. you can still use a bookmarklet to add links (IE only)And, as opposed to blogroller, even if the user has javascript disabled, the list will still display. (Please note that this is written in PHP and thus requires that you can run PHP on your server)
Download it here. The instructions are VERY easy (see the readme) – there's only one file you have to edit.
Current Version:
0.9 (beta) released 6/24
please note: minimal testing has been done. So please email any bugs you find to me.
Future Development:
-addition of link and bookmarklet for IE search bar page.
-support for "priority" sorting.
-ability to list "images" instead of just text links
-ability to have a "public" add a list form – which holds links until approved (email notification when link is added)
-clean up sloppy code!!! (put as much stuff as possible in reusable functions)
… care to suggest a feature you'd like to see?
Additional Credit:
This script was based originally on a script sent in by Liz.

**Important!** When you create your links file… make sure you back it up… Again, this is a BETA script sooo… there's no guarantees
