The CAPTCHA plugin has minimum server requirements that must be met in order for the plugin to function properly. Support for this plugin will only be provided if your server meets or exceeds these requirements. Before posting your question, download the CAPTCHA Test Script and include the result in your message.

See the plugins Read Me for Setup instructions.

This mod separates main categories from one another with regard to adding/modifying links. It allows for one or more categories to be paid categories while other categories can be free. Essentially, it prevents switching a link from a free category to a paid one. A link can only be switched among subcategories of it's main category. Each main category can easily have it's own add/modify templates. This mod additionally restricts adding links to categories that do not have subcategories.

Example Category Structure:
 Main Cat 1 -- Do NOT allow adding here (has sub cats)
   Sub Cat 1a -- Allow adding links and switching
   Sub Cat 1b -- categories between ALL 3 subcats,
   Sub Cat 1c -- but restrict switching within Main Cat 1.

 Main Cat 2 -- Allow adding here (no subcats). No switching.

 Main Cat 3 -- Do NOT allow adding here (has sub cats)
   Sub Cat 3a -- Allow adding here (no subcats)
     Sub Cat 3b -- Do NOT allow adding here
   Sub Cat 3c -- Allow adding here (no subcats)
   Sub Cat 3d -- Allow adding here (no subcats)

When adding/modifying links to Main Cat 1, a dropdown menu will display:
Sub Cat 1a
Sub Cat 1b
Sub Cat 1c

When adding/modifying links to Main Cat 2, there will be no dropdown menu.
"Main Cat 2" will be displayed as static text.

When adding/modifying links to Main Cat 3, a dropdown menu will display:
Sub Cat 3a
Sub Cat 3c
Sub Cat 3d

Restrictions are on user-side only. Administrator can add links to any category. If a user tries adding a link to a restricted category, the dropdown menu or static text will default to the 1st UN-restricted subcategory within the restricted category.

Requires Gossamer Links version 3.x and works with Setup > Build Option "db_gen_category_list" set to either yes or no. If set to no, all categories are displayed as static text.

Detailed setup instructions are in the located in the Read Me page of the Plugin Manager after the plugin has been installed.

GT Plugins are add-ons for Gossamer Links directory management software available from Gossamer-Threads. All of RGB World's GT Plugins require that you have a licensed install of Gossamer Links.

The ZipCodeSearch plugin allows visitors to find links within a certain radius of their Zip Code or Postal Code. Functions as a Dealer Locator or a Dating Site search form that finds service centers or other members within a certain distance.

Includes 43k+ US Zip Codes.
Supports international postal codes.
Searches the entire directory or specific categories.
Logs search queries to the standard search logs.
Options for units of measure (Miles, Kilometers, Nautical).
Customizable search form automatically searches additional input fields.
Optional Country drop down menu for use on Add Link and Modify Link pages.


The ZipCodeSearch Form
Form Template = zipcode_search.html
Form Action = <%config.db_cgi_url%>/zipcode_search.cgi
Results Template = zipcode_search_results.html

Add the code below to include_header.html to create a link to the ZCS Form.
CODE: SELECT ALL
<a href="<%config.db_cgi_url%>/zipcode_search.cgi">ZipCode Search</a>


Clicking the link generated by the code above will display the following page. You can turn off the Category dropdown menu in ZipCodeSearch Setup.

Image

The form action would be called as:
CODE: SELECT ALL
zipcode_search.cgi?t=luna&d=1&catid=0&query=53140&dist=50&mh=25


You can create similar links to directly display search results, bypassing the form. See the "Links Near" screen grab below.

Search Results
The search results are ordered by distance and optionally limited by category. The City, State, Country, Zip Code and Distance are all generated by the ZipCodeSearch plugin.

Links Near
You can add a "Find Links Near" form to your detailed pages using the following code:

Add this code to the top of detailed.html:
CODE: SELECT ALL
<%Plugins::ZipCodeSearch::GetLocationTags($ID)%>
<%Links::Plugins::get_plugin_user_cfg('ZipCodeSearch')%>


Then add this code to detailed.html where you want the form to appear:
CODE: SELECT ALL
<div class="searchbar">
<form action="<%config.db_cgi_url%>/zipcode_search.cgi">
<input type="hidden" name="d" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" id="query" name="query" value="<%ZCS_ZipCode%>"/>
<strong>Find other places</strong> within
<select id="dist" name="dist">
<option selected="selected">5</option>
<option>10</option>
<option>15</option>
<option>20</option>
<option>25</option>
</select> <%units%>s
<input type="submit" value="Search" class="submit" />
</form>
</div>
