Limit links Plugin
Hey Andy how do I download your plugin. (Limit_Links_Add)?
When I try from the SQL Admin download panel I get

Error: The plugin you selected is a paid plugin, and you do not have access to it. Please contact orders@gossamer-threads.com for more information

Thanks in advance

It lets you limit how many links a user can submit via add.cgi.

Why is it useful? You need more&more links if possible. The task better should be to have good & valid links. You can reach that by user reviews & votes...

How do you identify a user?
What if a user registers several times?

When a user is logged in, thats when it works. You need to restrict spamming users...i.e people who setup robots to submit to you many times, and also people who just submit to you loads of times in an attempt to get a better listing.

Its useful to some people, trust me Smile

>setup robots to submit to you many times,
You can check referer for add.cgi and deny unallowed submissions.

>also people who just submit to you loads of times in an attempt to get a better listing.
Duplicate checking can stop multiple submissions.

Webmaster33, people don't want/have time to always go the easy way...I have incorporated this function into a plugin, and people DO need it, otherwise I wouldn't be making sales from it Wink

How does it stop robots?

Re: [Paul] Limit links Plugin In reply to
Well, users have to be logged in, and then they can't submit more than the plugin has been set to allow them to. Therefore, even a robot couldn't spam the site with hundreds of submissions, because they would just be declined Wink

Re: [Andy] Limit links Plugin In reply to
But how does the plugin stop them, what does it check for?

Re: [Paul] Limit links Plugin In reply to
It doesn't STOP them as such, but rather declines them. As said before, it checks for the username, also how many links the user has added (if over the limit, an error is shown)....its not rocket science Wink
