Hi... its me again...

I really wish you upgraded to one other 3 newer versions... any of them:
PortalLinks 1.0 (cookies)
    version: 2.0 posted 13-May-01
PortalLinks 2.0 (flatfile)
    version: 1.01 posted 01-May-01
PortalLinks 3.0 (mySQL)
    version: 1.0 posted 18-May-01
Which of them doesn't have the login and reg user function? Will that be easy for me to upgrade from my old code???

and... my old portals cannot span pages... how can i include it? if it is going to be tedious... how can i set max number of links added?

version 2.0 cookie does not have the registed users function but does have page spanning (the file is named portal_2.01.txt). The only posible problem is that your users cookie may become corrupt after upgrading. To prevent that, look for codes like this in your old copy:
Code:
split /x/
or
Code:
join /x/
and make sure that in the new script you are using the same thing (the bolding code from above) to split and join on.
Further instructions are in the readme file (readme_2.01.txt).
I just had an idea for upgrading cookie to flatfile...

a little more patience please.... they've got to install the server and set up accounts from scratch before doing anything... plus I work 13 hour shifts on the weekend so I don't get home til 1am, and by then most sane people are sleeping.

Please note that these files have been virtually untouched for two years and I'm not sure if everything works anymore.

Your mod seems to work very fine, than you very much. Wink

i tried something but unsuccessfully Unsure:

i use 2 separate 'links2' scripts in my site : 'links' (cgi-bin/links/admin/..) and 'postcards' (cgi-bin/postcards/admin/..).

then, i installed 'portal' mod in my 2 separated 'links' and 'postcards' scripts.

it would be fine if the users of 'my favorite postcards' are automatically subscribed to 'my favorite links', or vice-versa.

i tried to add simultanously the user.db file in 'cgi-bin/links/admin/data/portal/' and 'cgi-bin/postcards/admin/data/portal/' folders when i subscribe in any of the 'portal' form.

might be easy to do, but i don t know anything about programing.

Tanx if you know. Cheers. J.

shouldn't be hard at all. Use a single users.db file. Edit portal.cgi so that whereever you have:
Code:
open (USER, "$db_lib_path/data/portal/users.db") or die ("File-Error 'users.db'. $!");
it points to the file you want to use. If you want a single users.db and single user links file for both it'd be much more work than it's worth.

i don t understand about 'send mail'. is there a link 'send my links by mail' that the visitor must click ? or does it send automatically ? actually i don t receive anything. i use the version 2.0

and i don t understand neither what should be written in 'portal_link_mail.html'.
