Hi,
This is for LinkSQL 3.2.0
Fixes needed:
1. when validating links the fields are to small to see the entire url link or title or description. Either these fields should be configurable or at least bigger size so to see most or all of the contains. Btw, I tried looking through the code for admin.cgi?do=page&page=tools_validate.html & unable to see anything that I can modify in source code all the stuff is in <%output%>.
New features needed:
1. After validating, suppose 2 links their is no way to build new detail pages or pages related/linked to these new additions. Only option I see is build changed, which takes long time & does not work either as server times out & I am left with build stagger mode. I hope their was quick way to just build those new pages for new links without going through all this.
2. Option to allow to add some users as trusted, so that their link are auto-validated. Rest all require approval.
3. Anytime a link is found problem eg: 404 or 500 by Verify Links, it should email the owner informing to correct it. It should be automatically done so If your verify runs in cron job & after checking it should make a list of new problem links & email their owners as next step.
4. To easy maintain links database, option should be their in LinkSQL that allows links still in problem after suppose one month OR last 3 checks listed the link still problem it should be removed from database automatically (cron job)
5. (may be in a major release, as this may require radical change in LinkSQL). Easy Web GUI way to use LinkSQL as custom database & break free from links driven search directory. I have notice some advance users may have added custom fields, but most non-programmers will not find it easy to do that. It would be a win-win situation for both Gossamer & users, as Gossamer will enter bigger market catering to sites who wants to run lets say Movie database site with custom fields to search or real-estate etc where you can make custom fields searchable according to your need. To make it easy & GUI friendly all this has to be wizard like, so LinkSQL ask how many fields to create & what type etc & at the end for wizard creates LinkSQL site based on that. I personally thinks it's time for LinkSQL to break away from Links driven search directory as it's old/out of fashion & it's already saturated.
Thanks, I hope these suggestions will be taken positively for the development of LinkSQL.
