Plugin updated - Improved Link Validation

[mpdaddy]

Hello Everyone

I have updated my "Improved Link Validation" plugin for IndexU 1.3. I have added a couple more features to the official release. These were additions that FSGDAG asked for and I have been maintaining for a long time. Instead of having one version for him and one version for everyone else, I decided to go ahead and put his features in and maintain 1 version. These additions were added by another mod developer who has since left IndexU (I don't remember his name or I would give credit).

For those of you not familiar with this plugin. It is just a more efficient way (opinion) of approving and rejecting links. You can do up-to 75 links per page and you can approve, reject with notice, or reject silently ALL of the links on the page at once.

Two features were added.

1: You can edit the url directly in the validate links page. It uses ajax technology to edit in real-time. So if you edit the url, and click on something else in the page, the url is automatically edited via ajax. Even if you don't submit the form, it has been changed. Just be careful of your edits.

2: You can edit the category directly in the validate links page. Just click on the edit link and a new page will pop up allowing you to edit the category. You will not see the change on the current page, but test it for yourself, it was changed. I will be modifying this in the future to work more efficiently and allow you to see the changes.

To install:

1: Upload all the files to their proper directories, keeping the directory structure as it is in the zip file.

2: Activate the plugin via the IndexU admin panel.

3: Validate links as you normally would from the normal "Links" menu.

It edits your admin menu and replaces the link to the validate links page with the new url. When you uninstall the plugin, it restores the old url.

Try it out, I am sure you will agree that it is a better, more efficient way of validating links. Especially so, if you have hundreds of links to validate.

If you have ideas on how to make this plugin more useful feel free to contact me.

I will have this mod on my Script Dragon site within the next few days. It is also attached to this post.

My contact info is below in my signature.

As always, if you have any trouble with this plugin, post here, at my my Script Dragon site, or PM me.

As a side note, I have versions of this plugin that are compatible with IndexU 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3. The file attached to this post is for 1.3 only. If you need one of the other versions, feel free to contact me and I can send it to you.
