Weblinks with public view but registered-users submission.

Posted: Fri Oct 06, 2006 7:41 pm

We're using the Weblinks module to advertise other sites and ministries that would be helpful to our visitors. Consequently, the module is set to be visible to "All Visitors." However, because of a recent rash of inappropriate link adds, I'd like to set the "Add Links" are to be available to registered-users only. How would I do this?

Hi,

There is a config file specific to the weblinks. It is in modules/WebLinks. I think it is called l_config.
Go into that file and you'll see all kinds of way to configure your weblinks, with member submitted links being one of them.
There are notes and instructions in the config file that will point out which setting to change and where in order to do this.

That did it! Thanks!

I wonder why the developers chose to block updating links by unregistered users but not adding them?!

Thanks again!

srhh, Thanks for this! I have never even bothered to look at the files there. Good to know some of this module anyways is configurable.

Welcome.
Downloads has the same type of config file, too.
