I am creating a hack where the administrator can add links under "Downloads", "Documentation", etc
The administrator can choose which usergroups can see the links via the permissions system.

All I need to do is create the administrator backend and I'll release it.

Demo: www.xenweb.net/nextbbs/

This is an overview of all your links


This screen appears when you add a new link


The screen appears when you edit a link

Attachement

NavLinks v1.0.0.zip

Let's hang on to Harmor, it's not everyday that you find people who walk the walk, not just talk the talk.

Woo nice.

Thanks.
I'll be making as many hacks as I can before other coders decide to create them.

Edit:
I'm working on the administrator file now.If all goes well I should be done by tonight.

I'm done with the coding. I'll zip everything up after I write the instructions.

It's done and ready to be downloaded by all you NBBS users.

Seen shots look good, seem cool.

I'll add this to my site

The instructions seem simple enough

Edit: crap, it won't let me upload navlinks.php to /admin I'll keep trying.

Edit 2: I give up, I can't seem to upload to that directory. This happens often.

doesn't come here often, cause he has no free time ;_;

If you can backup the database you could move it to your site on my server or install a new instance of it.

True, but then I'd lose the "animeworld" subdomain, plus "militate" is such a cool name to piggyback on :P


If I can ever get NextBBS to intergrade with Drupal then I'll install a fresh copy of NextBBS on your server for use with the Ninty site I have there now



Thanks for the offer though.



Recently I've been trying to advertise your site on a few other sites that allow advertising, trying to get the number of referals up for a free domain name, but so far no one has joined from my link or they removed that part of the url }-->

Looks nice
Good work :D

Very handy it looks.

Thanks for pinning this topic.

My next hack is probably going to be a points system. You know, when you post you get points to use towards the store.
I'm not coding the store yet, I'll code the points system, let people install that then install the store. This way the instructions aren't that intimidating.

I have another hack I've been brainstorming as well. It's called "Banner Placement System".
What you do is go into the admin cp and type the code for a banner or ad into a text area.
Then you can specify what pages you want the banner to be on.
So let's say you only wanted a google ad on "index.php?do=topic" you can do so easily with this hack.
It probably doesn't make much sense now but I'll try to make this hack come alive so you know what I'm talking about.

Uh? Yeah...

Don't try and talk to me about coding or whatever, I'm bad at that sort of stuff

See if you can work a way of deleting rep points like you can with the IPB rep system, that would be good :D

That's a good idea, you could also use that for sublogos too probably, like I have listed here

Tell me if you like how the hack is coming along. nextbbs.com/do_topic_id_630_post_4495_#post4495
Let's use this thread for discussion of "NavLinks" and dicuss the banner rotating system in the thread the link points to.

Actually, a store and a points system are something that we lack cruelly. It would be wonderful to have that.

Ya and its a hack which would make more sence.
