AddSpider use
Paul,

I've installed the AddSpider plugin. See no changes Frown

Do I need to modify add.cgi or something?

Does the normal form show when you go to add.cgi?

What version of Links SQL are you using? ......(you shouldn't have to do anything but install it)

Yes, the normal form shows up.

I use Links SQL 2.0.5.

Just for the reference, I have upgraded to the current Links SQL 2.1, and not the plug-in works Smile

It's great. Sadly, too many site use bad metadata, but that's not the plug-in's fault ...

Anyway, I wonder if it would be possible to make a bookmarklet which automatically inserted the URL of the current page into the spider forum.

I miss my bookmarklets from Links2 Unsure

So, I sat down and made a new bookmarklet for Links SQL!! Thanks to bookmarklets.com and a bit of creativity ... Cool

It's not perfect, but it works (in MSIE) Wink

javascript:thelink=location.href;r4NSy=document.selection.createRange().text;dST7Mt=new Date();wSv6=open('','w'+dST7Mt.getTime(),'width=800,height=600');wSv6.focus();with(wSv6.document){write('<form action="http://slashdemocracy.org/cgi-bin/add.cgi" method="POST"><input type="text" size="50" name="Spider_URL" value="'+thelink+'"><input type="SUBMIT" name="spider" value="Spider Link"><input type="hidden" name="ID" value=""></form>');void(close())}

It uses the add-spider plu-in, so you'll need that.
