Default phpLD 2.1 Released 9/24/2006 (Free Version Upgrade)

We are pleased to announce the release on phpLD 2.1, a much improved release of the free version of our script. While we have made every attempt to test it, I want be careful to mention that there could be yet undiscovered bugs or problems, though I believe it is highly likely this release is far superior to 2.0. A big thanks to Boby and everyone that has made it possible for us to get this far.

Also, I would not recommend trying to upgrade from 2.0 for a little while until we know more about this release, so it is probably best to start with a fresh install for testing purposes.

The changelog is:
Code:
Updates:
   - [UPDATE] Smarty template engine upgraded to latest stable version (2.6.14)
   - [UPDATE] SmartyValidate library upgraded to latest stable version (2.8)
   - [UPDATE] AdoDB database library upgraded to latest stable version (4.92)
   - [UPDATE] PHPMailer class upgraded to latest stable version (1.73)
 
   - [UPDATE] New installer, works with PHP 5.x and PHP in CGI mode
 
Removed:
   - Reciprocal link ID validation and anything related to it
 
Changes:
   - Language file support
   - Password is now encrypted using either SHA1 or MD5 hash
   - Improved notification system
   - Link ID problem fixed, HTML id element is not longer just a numeric value, it was changed to "id_{xyz}" or "id{xyz}" where {xyz} is the numeric link ID
   - RSS feeds show only limited (links per page value) amount of links preventing timeouts
   - Main page (index.php) PHP code reduced
   - Main page (index.php) links count code changed to much faster and safer SQL command
   - Most SQL commands are now correct and safe for DB input/output
   - Valid XHTML markup and valid CSS
   - Emails are sent with admin sender name and address
   - Inactive categories are not shown anymore on submit page
   - Allow multiple submit fixed
   - Validation of reciprocal links improved
   - Unencoded character problem fixed
   - Symbolic links are now working with Mod Rewrite
   - Subcategories preview sorted in alphabetical order
   - Same title in multiple categories is now allowed
   - Easy to read fonts for image verification
   - Added folders and template files protection via htaccess and an additional default index.html file
 
   - and many more ...
 
Files changed:
   - All files, PHP and template files (Please overwrite them all!!)
Here are the basic install/upgrade steps included in the package:
Code:
************************
** BASIC INSTALLATION **
************************
 
1. Upload the files in the archive to your host.
 
2. Change permissions on the following file and four folders to 777 (writing permissions):
      - include/config.php
      - temp/
      - temp/adodb
      - temp/cache
      - temp/templates
 
   If the folders do not exist please create them.
 
3. Access the installer/updater by trying to go to the directory.
   It should forward you to http://www.your-domain.com/install/ ,
   if it doesn't try typing in the URL directly.
 
   For example, if you installed the directory in a sub folder
   of your domain it may look like this:
      http://www.your-domain.com/directory/install/
 
4. Run through the self explained setup, if you have any questions,
   comments or suggestions stop by the forum:
      http://www.phplinkdirectory.com/forum/
 
5. As a security measure, we recommend you change back permissions
   to 755 on the file:
      - include/config.php
 
   You can also remove the entire "install" folder.
   If you want to (re)install/update on a later point, you can upload
   the folder again.
 
 
***********************************
** UPDATE FROM ANY PRIOR VERSION **
***********************************
 
1. Replace all files and folders
 
2. Make sure if you have other PHP files with validation checks to change them accordingly.
   In any previous version you will have something like:
 
   ------------------------------
   SmartyValidate :: register_validator('v_FIELD', 'FIELD', 'notEmpty', false, false, false, 'trim', 'formID');
   ------------------------------
 
   Because of changes to the SmartyValidate library, you need to remove the 7-th attribute and use always something like:
 
   ------------------------------
   SmartyValidate :: register_validator('v_FIELD', 'FIELD', 'notEmpty', false, false, 'trim', 'formID');
   ------------------------------
 
3. Check your templates for correct validation tags and fields. Validation tags are:
 
   ------------------------------
   {validate form="formID" id="v_FIELD" message=$smarty.capture.ERROR-MESSAGE}
   ------------------------------

Me too.
Q: In order to keep the submited sites and categories already created we have to keep the same db, right? Only the files to upload.

I don't know if there are changes to the db. There may be some.
You can always backup your existing site and test.
This is a new release, so it might be best not to do anything to your existing site right now.

But a great time to start a new directory!

i have installed 2.1 on a dummy site.... in admin panel i see the following

1 )
Quote:
A new version (2.0.0 RC5.2) is available.
2)
Quote:
Configuration file is still writeable by the user the webserver runs under. This poses a major security risk, please drop writing permissions for include/config.php file immediately!
(as instructed in install.txt... my config.php file has 755)

3) One more strange problem is admin panel isn't working in IE, only header section is displayed and no problem with FireFox

here is the example of 2.1 web-ranking.info/partners/
(do not waste your time by submitting there... it is a dummy site )

@David: if you need admin login info... let me know.

Good info, Scorpion. Thank you.
It appears we will need to make one more release.
dynn, most likely some changes will be required to the template because of the changes to the smarty engine.

Default Same here

I installed, followed all directions to the letter.
Admin page was like yours, nothing but blank to see no matter what I clicked.
So I deleted all again.
Installed again, same stuff.
Still waiting for a fix or what.

Thank you.

Any word on a fix for this yet?

Seems to be an IE bug in admin.

The IE bug not only causes problems in the admin section but also causes problems when submitting links as well!
