Reciprocal link validation

[esiason14]

I'm having a couple of problems.

When I turn on require reciprocal links and submit a site...it wont accept it.

and

when i turn it off, I still get the "A link to http://www.ultimatesportsdirectory.com could not be found at the specified URL." message.

Any ideas?

Hi esiason14, what version of php link directory are you using?

my database says 2.0.0 RC2, but I downloaded from the RC4 link??

The only way I can get it to accept it is if I change this in submit.php
Content visible to registered users only.

to this:

Content visible to registered users only.

I know this isnt a fix, just did it temporarily so I could accept links. Still looking for a solution.

Thanks

HI

I'm using version 3.04. When I change the code of submit php like that, Phpld still checks if the link typed in the "Backlink URL" field exists.
How can I turn that off? Users should give backlink URLs but they should not be validated on the submit page . I want to check them later when I review submitted pages in admin panel.

Thanks,

I have the same problem, It seems to happen more and more. I'm using 2.0 and I get a lot of emails saying they tried to add their link but my submit page wouldn't validate their reciprocal link. I've checked the code on their site and it's there and correct. I also want to turn this off so I can check them myself and let the submit page just add the links and not try and validate them. Any help would be great.

Ok so I think I figured something out. I've tested it a couple of times and it seems to work. I t will validate a link being submitted even if they don't have a link there or in my case have a link but it wasn't validating it for some reason. Keep in mind I did this because I was going to check all reciprocal links as they came in.

First open your submit.tpl in your template folder and find around line 121:

Content visible to registered users only.

and remove it. Remember always back up your files just in case.

Next open up submit.php in your main folder and around line 96 find the three lines that say :

Content visible to registered users only.

and remove it as well.

Hope this helps you out.
