All in the Admin Section
Cosmetic -
As you are working on thie insatallation script to make thing easier for those that are unexprienced with MySQL - Why not ad a small description in the 'Edit Settings' form for each field. (what each field is for)
E-Mail-
It would be nice to be able to send out an automatic 'Success' message to the approved site. This would need another field in config so that the message could be tailored to the each site that uses the script...Likewise for an 'Unsuccessful submission.

Manual Email capability-
Make it possible to go to 'Links' in Admin...click on an e-mail icon to the right (by the edit/delete icons) of any approved/existing links. This would make a page with all the mailto info inserted and a text box to add the message etc -

Link Section - Admin -
Seperate how this displays...by clickable category rather than pages and pages of links...This would be a whole lot easier for admin to find a specific link.

Those are all good recommendations. I will try to implement all of them.
I will plan to make an announcement for the goals for 1.011 shortly, as soon as the install script is complete

The installation script should be finished today. If so, I will be immediately releasing version 1.09. BTW, it is looking really cool. The graphics are nice, and I may use these same graphics in the admin section, as I implement the changes you suggested. On my list is:
a reciprocal link checker (spiders recip links)
ability to turn on and off the requirement for reciprocal links
ability to turn and off click counting of links (currently does not work, but you can see it in admin settings)

That all sounds good to me - I hope you don't mind me making these mod suggestions - Let me know if you wish me to quieten down - otherwise I will post requests as I find them.

I have already integrated some nice little mods of my own - Prehaps a Mod section on the forum & maybe a release history with changelog & To do list might be a good idea at this stage.

Please don't quiet down! :lol:

I very much desire your help. One problem that I have had in the past that is now solved is management of releases. I had two different template systems, and each had different features. It was a mess. Now I feel very much on track.

I would be happy to allow you more flexibility to help, such as making you a mod or admin in this forum. I agree that a release hitory and changelog is needed.

So keep it coming as time allows, and after the release of 1.09 (with the install script), maybe you would be willing to add some of your mods to the 1.011 release.

Thanks,
David
