Excellent. Please let me know if it all goes okay. To actually get the linkback to work, you'll have to place a link to one of your threads on a different domain, then click on it to take you to that thread. Then the linkback should appear in your moderation queue in the admincp You could always edit your post here and link to one of your threads!

it works perfectly.... after i accept the linkback in the ACP.. it shows in that thread that was linked. for my members this will be great to know if other people are linking their work on other sites.. for me.., it will be good so i can know who is doing what!!

thanks.... installed, voted, and nominated..

Many thanks! Your link did raise a query in my head though. Your forums are closed to guests, so perhaps I should disable the logging of refbacks for threads that are not viewable to guests. I'll mull on that overnight and decide in the morning

[ragtek]

yes, my first idee was: wow, must have
but on the other side my site is not visible for the guests, so i don't need it

[TheBlackPoet]

no!! keep it..., actually it would be good to know if ANYONE is linking to a my site... that is a good thing..

[kaptanblack]

Thanks.. perfect mod

i just thought of something... how feasible would be to have the admin recieve a pm/email when there is something to moderate???

It's possible. But I would not reccomend it. On a large board you may have quite a lot to moderate, which means a lot of emails/pms

I am moderating about 10 every 15 mins, dont need any PM's LOL

Is it normal though that linkbacks are usually just my main page URL?

Cheers

That is not normal. It should filter out any linkbacks from your own domain. Can you link me to an example of where you're getting this problem?

EDIT: ah I know what's causing this. It will only filter out linkbacks from your forums URL, not domain. I'll fix that tonight if I can Also I guess it would be useful to have a blacklist of domains/urls that you dont want to be processed as linkbacks.

[Dean C]

Quick fix until I update the zip tomorrow night with a blacklist:

In your 'Process incoming linkbacks' plugin find:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Replace with:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.
