Screenshots

• Link Listings

  

  This screenshot shows how the main index will look if the person viewing the page has the rights to manage the links.

• Add A Link

  

  This screenshot shows the options available when adding a new link (also permission based). Editing and deleting a link will produce a similar screen but with confirmation options at the bottom.

• Initial Management

  

  This screenshot shows the initial page that you see when you arrive at the manage links page. There are three main options - Config options, Category Management and Link Approval.

• Extended Management

  

  The shot above shows the page with all the options, outlined above, expanded. The images represent the different actions that can be carried out and a quick hover over witll describe what each link does. I tried to choose images which would be self explanatory but if there is any confusion then let me know and I will see what others I can find.

• Add Categories

  

  This screenshot shows the quick process of adding a new category to the database, editing one produces the same fields but with confirmation details at the bottom. This is a similar situation for deleting categories with the exception that the fields are not editable.

Changelog

• 09/10/2007 - Added a filter to allow users to specify wether links open in new pages or open in the current window.
• 07/10/2007 - Added filter support as well as the config option to show them. This does require an update to the database to add the new setting.

Future Changes

There are a couple of additional settings that I am working on at the moment including:

• Reciprocal linking
• Optional filters
• Custom filters
• Custom fields
• Detailed information page
• Any other suggestions
