This mod to Links 2.0 allow you to run
your own Open Directory site. (like dmoz)

Please send me your feedback....

Well the background on your page couldn't make it any more difficult to read.

Also the demo gives a 404.

at least you get a 404, Paul :-) I get a strait "cannot find server" all around, even when trying to access just "scoutsace.org" by itself.

Reading the description of it, on your site, it looks like a great mod. But, like the other people here, the demo gives a 404 Where can we see a working demo?

The background is indeed a bit of a nuisance, but the download link works fine for me.

Oops, I stand corrected, the demo is a 404.

Sorry. Demo is'n working yet. I will upload it tonight. Keep in touch!

RedRum, I like this background, but your comments will be taken...

PerlFreak, please let me know if you still getting "cannot find server" . My provider do not give me address like scoutsace.org.

Thanks for your comments!

Sorry, don't get me wrong......I'm not saying I dislike your background. I just mean it is hard to read the black text with that specific background.

Demo is working now!

Wow, looks great! I've yet to download the code, but the demo (yep, its working...lol) looks like something many users could use.

Thanks for a great mod

Well it is pretty hard to understand in a foreign language and as the translate select list doesn't work then I can't change it.

I don't see a difference between your mod and the original Links2 apart from the editor addon (and I believe Bmxer has already written a mod to do this as well as send private messages etc...)

Yes. Sorry. Translate list will be removed. It is part of my site only; not of the mod.

I wrote this mod just one year ago, but wasn't never reliesed. On that age, i made a careful search on forums to get something like this. I didn't find it.

I will check Bmxer mode to have ideas. Sounds good too!.

Please tell me if someone have installed this mod successfully! (And where).
I need help of someone who has editor's rights in dmoz project to give me ideas!.

Thanks all!

I've not downloaded it, but i had been planning on making an apply.cgi seperate from the admin script, as well as other dmoz like functions. So when i do i just wanted you to know i'm not mimmicking you since i just got back on the forum.

OK. You've done a good job with admin mod. I just checked it's demo but is really confused. Anyway, it could give me ideas.!
My work will be focused in the same way, but don't know how many time I will have in the near future to continue developing this mod.
The direction of this project will depends of how many enthusiast users can be involved in my personal dir and how many sites establish directories with this mod. Some cooperation can help us to improve our versions!
So, good luck!

how is my mod confusing? It utilizes basic links functions. I could turn it into an editor mod, which i might do. But now its both.

> Please tell me if someone have installed this mod successfully!

You are the best judge of the success of the mod.

Some other points:
1. I think you should take careful note of comments about the background image -- it makes the text illegible.
2. There is no obvious indication that you have complied with the ODP license at http://dmoz.org/license.html
3. Do the the links to http://www.scoutsace.org/.../dir/links/apply.cgi and http://www.scoutsace.org/...ks/admin/editors.cgi actually work?
4. You have lost some of the original ODP structure, and (I think) some of the categories, eg: http://www.scoutsace.org/..._Unidades/Argentina/ is a dead end, whereas http://dmoz.org/...mo/Grupos/Argentina/ has many links, and a symlink category http://dmoz.org/...ciaciones_de_scouts/

OK

It's my fault. But remember: MY LINKS OPEN DIRECTORY MOD ISN'T ADDRESSED TO COPY OR MIMIC DMOZ RDF INFORMATION. IT'S OBJECTIVE IS BULD INDEPENDENT DATABASES WITH DMOZ METHODOLOGY AND LINKS2.0 FORMAT.

Yes they do. But this links must be called from categories links "sea un editor" and "editar"(bottom).
Externall calls do not show forms because they need REFERER variable passed by browser.
Again, MY LINKS OPEN DIRECTORY MOD ISN'T ADDRESSED TO COPY OR MIMIC DMOZ RDF INFORMATION. IT'S OBJECTIVE IS BULD INDEPENDENT DATABASES WITH DMOZ METHODOLOGY AND LINKS2.0 FORMAT.
Next versions will have a function similar to goFetch Mod to retrieve data from Dmoz and add it to Links databases. Actually links and categories of my "Directorio Scoutsace" are added manually, no matter what structure has dmoz.

Thank you for your feedback

I'm now working to add 'odp2links' mod with Links ODP mod! I will release it soon.

I would love this!

Could you also script it so it can pull the Dmoz information from a specific category? I.E. I only want to include the Dmoz UK category with my search results http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/

Thanks!

I think Bmxers latest mod will do this.

Okay, so shoot me ;) - where is the download link for this?

Many thanks!

could do what you want.

wow - thank you!

I've just woken up, and I'm taking a look!

:)

now all I need is a GOTO mod for link 2.0 ;)

Odp2links mod can be a 'rival' for gofetch (Bmxer) mod. So try it too!

yecarillo,
I'm definitely sure your mod can be a "rival" to mine, and i'm sure it does a good job. I was just posting him my download so he could see. Instead of "rival" maybe its just another solution like mine. More than one way to do something. It gives people more options.
