If I send this out, you'd have a heck of a time integrating it. Because of the changes that had to be made, until I get all the tweaks working, it will proabably just drive you mad. Seriously.
I'm on my second site install, getting the FAQ site to work. I also changed the template sets there, and will probably offer a bunch of different formats.
I'll try to install the plug-in 2 or 3 more times on other sites. If I can get a site working with no "bugs" the first time around, then I'll release this. This last install was only about a half dozen template tweaks. With any luck, the next install will be bug free (at least major bug free) and then I can distribute it.
The admin features are still being updated, but that is only annoying, not maddening :)
There were 5 completely different "starts" on this program. If you follow the threads here for the past 6 months, there have been some major changes, changes to links, etc, that caused the program to be re-thought several times. Loads of legacy code is still in there, and while I've cut out about 30% of it, there is still more to get cut. Actually, adding features will result in a smalle code footprint :)
Because of that, I had lots of variables and template tags that did nothing but cause confusion with each other.
The main assumption change now is, that a link _must_ be added before you can attach a logo or image to it. Rather than try to play games with getting the ID from links, allowing links to just add the link, then request the ID, is the easiest way, and most portable. Loads of bugs and problems went away with this simple assumption.
That means loads of code got cut out, and things got much simpler.
This will fit nicely with the new links "Filetype" since links will be able to upload/handle a file on initial upload, then pass it to the plug-in for post processing. Or, you can use the plugin to upload the files.
To allow users to edit "un validated" links (Which should really be a part of links) all you do is change one line in modify.cgi.
The included templates also provide a lot more information on the status of the link -- validated/not validated, graphic show, graphic none, graphic validted, etc.
I think people will like this upgrade :)
Give me another 24 hours or so before release. It will be worth the wait --- you'll probably save that much in frustration :)
If you just absolutely can't wait, try the FAQ.... it is 98% working, I'm making final tweaks on it now, and hopefully it will finished by the AM.
