Included are 2 files that are corrections and improvements of the back link checking routine included with DewNewPHPLinks

This new version addresses a recently discovered bug and uses CURL to access remote sites if it is installed, CURL is roughly 10 times faster than the previous FOPEN method, however due to DNS and other network service response times,

you may not see such a drastic speed improvment on your partcilular server envorment. Regardless, CURL is still more efficent.

To install, rename the 2 original files in the admin directory, "linkcheck_main.php" and "linkcheck_top.php" by adding ".original" or something similar to the end of the filename

Extract the new versions of linkcheck_main.php and linkcheck_top.php from the ZIP file and upload to your admin directory.

Thats it.

Since these are new releases your feedback is greatly appreciated.

If you find these are an improvement on the previous versions, please consider making a small donation via the Donate button to the left

Reports 1.0 is an admin panel add on. It provides an up to the second report on the outbound clicks of your DewNewPHPLinks installation.  Reports can show clicks per day, clicks per entry, clicks per IP address and clicks per user agent within any given time span.

Installation involves replacing out.php with a newer version , uploading a few files to your admin directory, adding one line of code to /admin/menu.php  and executing a few MySQL queries.  Detailed instructions are included.

Please note, this does not work correctly if you have outbound clicks set to be dilspayed with a frame.

This add on allows you to automatically reject site submissions that contain certain terms, promote certain URLs, are submitted from certain email addresses, or by certain IP addresses.

When a new is site is submitted, and validation & email notification is turned on, you will receive an email with more information in it than the prior version, as well as quick links to either validate or delete the new entry. It will also have quick links to the new admin panel bal list page in case you wish to ban some of the terms contained in recent submissions.

Please keep in mind...
Dew-Code and DewNewPHPLinks is managed by one person, and not some huge corporation.
If you find this add on is an improvement on the previous versions, please consider making a small donation. Donations can be made securely using Paypal.com  Any amount is greatly appreciated. Contributions should be sent to duane.lortie@gmail.com   

As of 5/20/08, A total of $50 USD has been contributed, or roughly $10 per year that I've been maintaining DewNewPHPLinks. While that is of course appreciated, unless more contributions are received, I will have no choice but to make future add ons like this one, available for purchase only.

Wouldn't it be great if you could simply click a bookmark in your browser to automatically populate the info on your add site page? Well now you can.

With a slight change to your include/add.php  file, you can create a bookarklet in Firefox and IE that fills in much of the info from the site's meta tags.

You don't really need to download this file, you can create your own bookmarklet here.

but you'll still need to edit add.php slightly ...

  in Dew-NewPHPLinks "/include/add.php" lines ~12-24
starting with "$SiteName=mysql_escape_string($_POST['SiteName']);"...
ending with ..."$submit_add=$_POST['submit_add'];"
replace with:
"
$SiteName=mysql_escape_string($_REQUEST['SiteName']);
$SiteURL=mysql_escape_string($_REQUEST['SiteURL']);
$RecipURL=mysql_escape_string($_REQUEST['RecipURL']);
$Description=mysql_escape_string($_REQUEST['Description']);
$Category=mysql_escape_string($_REQUEST['Category']);
$Country=mysql_escape_string($_REQUEST['Country']);
$UserName=mysql_escape_string($_REQUEST['UserName']);
$PW=mysql_escape_string($_REQUEST['PW']);
$PID=mysql_escape_string($_REQUEST['PID']);
$PW2=mysql_escape_string($_REQUEST['PW2']);
$Hint=mysql_escape_string($_REQUEST['Hint']);
$Email=mysql_escape_string($_REQUEST['Email']);
$submit_add=$_REQUEST['submit_add'];

Thats it, afterwards clicking the bookmarklet will autopopulate may of the add site fields for you. 

A note to java / javascript / bookmarklet literate coders, please help to continue the evolution of this contribution. 

This handly little routine allows you to quickly import your Mozzilla Firefox bookmarks into Dew-NewPHPLinks.

Installing:
Simply upload to the admin directory of your DewNewPHPLinks installation.

Using:
Browse to the uploaded file
 http://www.yoursite.com/DNPL-install-directory/admin/bmarkimport.php

This should already be a password protected directory, so enter your normal username and password for it.

Click the "Browse" button and navigate to where Firefox stores it's bookmarks.html  file.

Typically, it's stored in

C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\RANDOM.default\

Where USERNAME is your Windows login username, and random is a random series of letters and numbers.

After selecting the bookmarks.html  file , enter the username, password, password hint and email address that will be associated with the new entries. These can be used later to edit the entries from the public side, without requiring access to the admin panel.

Click the "Import Bookmarks" button

After a few second, you should get a total count of the new categories that were created as well as the number of entries that were made.

Please note, only do this once. Importing the same bookmark file again will duplicate the site entries, although duplicate categories will not be created.
