Links SQL 1.1 Beta
The new beta is up on the website, you should be able to access it as normal. Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to let people download it till tommorrow (if only there were more hours in the day). Smile

I will mass mail all Links SQL owners tommorrow morning with download instructions.

In the meantime, you can view the demo at the usual spot. Some things to look at:

- The new keyword logger (click on Keywords) under Building.
- The new dynamic viewer:

Default: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/perl/links/page.cgi
Yahoo: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/...nks/page.cgi?t=yahoo
Snap: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/...inks/page.cgi?t=snap

- The improved link checker. Click on Status to view the current DMoz status (it's still running, so all the links may not be checked yet), but it is very fast!

- The registered user system. You can log in and a session will be created. That session will get passed from page to page using the dynamic view.

That's it for now, I will post more about it tommorrow!

Cheers,

Alex

Pretty cool!

But I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight waiting Smile And I'm 3 hours ahead of you Smile

Something to think about on the Keywords -- not only delete date older than x but also words with 'count < x' with the default being '1' mainly for people who don't know how to spel <G>

Also, on the Modify screen -- in the Admin area, how about making the [Status] field (?) a drop down list, so we don't have to remember all the different status codes? Shouldn't be too hard, but I'm sure that will be a big request item.

Also... the MODIFY RECORD FORM -- there needs to be a way to search for a URL, and have it fill in the information, or to use a rcord #/linkID to get the record so people don't have to retype (and cause errors) -- especially on sites where a long description is enabled.

I've tried to do this, but I'm not passing something correctly....

i think that meant... ALL USERS.. right? Wink

what do you think? would alex be so.. uh.. yea.. and give out a $400 program of his for free...

btw.. when alex makes a BETA program.. usually there are like 3 or less bugs.. so it's almost not a BETA..

Haven't heard from Alex yet, and the day is almost over. I'd really like to get the new code, even if it has a few bugs.
