Having jealously guarded the scource code to all my previous PHP scritps (partly because the code was so messy I was embaressed to release it and partly through sheer laziness) I've finally put together something I'm happy to distribute. Introducing.... ssLinks!

Here's the blurb...ssLinks is a small PHP script (well, a couple of scripts) which allow you to run a database driven categorised links section on a web site - similar in structure to Yahoo or any other categorised links collection. Features on offer include:

Fully database driven utilising mySQL.
Based around templates so easily customisable to fit in with the rest of your site.
(hopefully) easily customisable due to the nature of PHP - you can edit the code at will.
Very easy to admin via the web - log in and add / edit categories and links.
Visitors to your site can recommend new links, which you can then validate.
Allows visitors to rate your links from 1-10, and displays average rating.
Rating a link more than once is "dis-encouraged" via cookies.
Number of hits each link has recieved is recorded and displayed.
All output is displayed by one script (links.php) keeping your web server tidy :o)
Very easy to set up and use, thanks to configuration file.
Probably lots more but that's everything that springs to mind.
It's free for non-commercial sites!

So there you have it. There's a demo of the script Here (http://www.tfc-central.co.uk/sslinks/links.php) and the official site (or page) can be found at http://www.tfc-central.co.uk/sslinks/

Enjoy ;)

It does this:

If you have an admin password you can add new categories and links using web forms - you can also edit links in there already etc. It means buliding a huge organised database of links is really easy.

Readme? :{

Bah - knew I forgot something... :E

There's a set of instructions on the webby and if you know what a mySQL database is you should be fine. If not then - erm - problems...

and until Skunk adds his installer in I do have a working one as long as you have your mysql details.

yay at sensible table names. :D

Why can't other scripts prefix the table names with at least part of the script name ;(

gods knows, I at least prefix my table names with a g, or in the case of the big project (gavscript) gav in front of table name.

a) only ever use just that particular script

or

b) have an infinte number of databases
