2.0 Release Candidate 3 Now Available! (released 6/13/2005). New to RC3: - Pconnect replaced with connect to reduce the number of connections to mysql databases. - no more sessions on the frontend, as they were serving no purpose - when submitting a new link from a category page, that category is selected by default. - improved error reporting - fixed sorting bug in frontend when rewrite was not active We have done a total rewrite with a ton of new features including the option to display PageRank for all of your links, and the ability to use "no follow" tags for non-reciprocating links. A longer description coming shortly. This version has been tested on several configurations and seems quite stable. Compatibitlty: Tested on PHP 4.2, 4.3 and 5.0 Tested on mySQL 3.23 and 4.1, MsSQL, and Postges Tested on Fedora, RedHat, Windows 2003 and FreeBSD Admin Configuration Settings: - URL Rewrite (yes/no) - Show Link and Category Counts (yes/no) - Show Subcategories below categories on main index. - Show PageRank of links in the directory - Sort links in each category by PageRank, Alphabetically or by number hits. Hits are counted with js, so no jump urls are used. - No Follow Tags (prevent search engines from following links) - there are 3 options: disabled, all or only if no reciprocal link. - RSS feeds may be enabled so that all categories have an xml feed. Link Submission: - Visual Confirmation may be enabled to prevent spamming of your directory by bots. - Reciprocal Links can be required if you wish. If required, then when they click submit it spiders their site to make sure the link exists. - Muliple submissions from the same site can be either allowed or disallowed. Emailer: If you are looking for a way to make it easy to have a system for seeking and managing reciprocal links, this is a strong point of this program. Furthermore, the system makes it very easy to hire freelancers to help you do the work yet maintain a level of quality, and also be able to see exactly how much work was done. - Enter site name, url and email of webmaster and click submit and an email is sent using the email template you created. - Multiple Email Templates can be used if desired, so it is easy to send a variety of messages efficiently. - When submitting, a variety of methods are used to check and then warn you in the event you are trying to email the same person or website. This becomes especially important on large link campaigns over periods of time. - The PHP Mail Function, Sendmail or SMTP can be used by selecting the preferred method from the drop down menu. Validation: - Check all your links to make sure they are valid. Spider also follows 301s and 302s. - Check all your reciprocal link partners (if using this feature) to see if they are still linking to you. - In both checks you may elect to set links that don't validate to inactive. There many other features, and there has been much attention in the details to insure that everything works great for you, and we look forward to getting your suggestions, as we prepare for even more features coming soon!
