CHANGES File:
05/28/05 – 1.0 Release
Bug Fixes/Changes
- Added Linklist User agent to be sent when RFC 3229 update check.
- Fixed issue with Blogrolling not importing URLs when importing via OPML.
- Fixed Issues with the updated time not being displayed correctly. this should show up correctly now.
- Added ability in the exp:linklist:checkupdated tag to show debugging output. (silent=”false”) this should help those people who are having issues with this tag running superslow, and finding out which sites are slow, so they can deal with those links appropriately.
- Fixed issues with blogs not showing up as updated. This had a lot to do with localization, but after quite a few test runs, it looks to be working properly. Please be sure that you have the exp:linklist:checkupdated tag running on a regular basis. If you don’t, then no sites will ever show up as updated.
TODO File:
- Categories for Links. I’m still fighting myself on this one, if it’s truly necessary.
- Keywords, ala del.icio.us and furl. Actually these will be tags as the term coined by technorati, but I am calling them keywords not to confuse people with EE tags and also to keep with the naming convention started by Andy Crouch with the EE Keywords Plug-in (http://www.culture-makers.com/keywords/). This would come in very handy for those of you who wish to use the Technorati tags within RSS files. That’s the idea anyways. I’m just simply confused about the tag thing myself. :p
- Possible API for the linklist. This will enable you to sync your links with del.icio.us. That’s the idea anyways.
- Member linklists. This will enable members of your site to create their own link page, hosted by your site.
- Submit a Link feature. Members (and/or normal visitors) will be able to submit their link for inclusion in your linklist. This would have them submitting the link, then you will have to approve it before it is actually shown on your linklist. (i.e. pending status.) – I’m actually on the fence about this. Is this really even needed? I’m just not sure really. I see a potential for link spamming, but if the default is set to pending, and you have to approve the link, that shouldn’t be a problem really. Thoughts? I’d like to hear some feedback on this feature.
- Clickthrough counting. This will count how many time someone has clicked through on your link. Again this is one of those that I think would be a good idea, but not sure if it’s needed. (or wanted!) Feedback appreciated.
