WSN Links https://scripts.webmastersite.net/wsnlinks/manual en-us Using Personal List for Saved Listings Saved listings with subcategories and unique listings. https://scripts.webmastersite.net/wsnlinks/manual/administrative-tasks/configuration/using-personal-list-for-saved-listings-600.html Fri, 15 Nov 2013 14:20:13 GMT https://scripts.webmastersite.net/wsnlinks/manual/administrative-tasks/configuration/using-personal-list-for-saved-listings-600.html
In normal use, the personal list allows submitting their own unique listings to their list (the list is a menu item in their member home area) but doesn't allow saving listings from elsewhere. To enable the saving to personal list, go to Admin -> Themes -> Manage Templates -> Link Bit and add this at your desired location (say just before the </td> at the end):
<IF {THISMEMBERISREGISTERED}>
<IF not {LINKISINMYALBUMS}>
<IF {TID} does not contain albums>
<form action="https://scripts.webmastersite.net/wsnlinks/manual/albums.php?add={LINKID}" method="post">
Add to <select name="subalbumid">{THISMEMBERALBUMLIST}</select>
<input type="submit" value="Add" >
</form>
</IF>
<ELSE>
<a href="albums.php?todo=remove&linkid={LINKID}&catid={LINKOURALBUMCATID}">Remove from personal list</a>
</IF>
</IF>


Now your members can easily add/remove from their personal list from anywhere on the site. Alternatively, you might prefer to put the above code in the listing details template instead of the listing bit if you only want it shown on the details page.]]>
Display Listings From Subcategories in Top Level How to store all your listings in subcategories, but still show stuff in the top level categories. https://scripts.webmastersite.net/wsnlinks/manual/administrative-tasks/configuration/display-listings-from-subcategories-in-top-level-587.html Sun, 24 Mar 2013 12:11:32 GMT https://scripts.webmastersite.net/wsnlinks/manual/administrative-tasks/configuration/display-listings-from-subcategories-in-top-level-587.html
You can do this by going to Admin Panel -> Categories -> Category Settings and setting "Display Listings From Subcategories in Top Level Categories" to "yes". When this is turned on, the top level categories will become essential search-based categories displaying listings from their descendants. Submission to top level categories will be automatically forbidden the same as if Admin Panel -> Listings -> Link Settings -> "Disallow Submissions to the top _ levels" were set to 1.]]>
Restrict Category to Particular Users How to prevent most from viewing a category while allowing some. https://scripts.webmastersite.net/wsnlinks/manual/administrative-tasks/configuration/restrict-category-to-particular-users-557.html Sat, 23 Jul 2011 20:00:45 GMT https://scripts.webmastersite.net/wsnlinks/manual/administrative-tasks/configuration/restrict-category-to-particular-users-557.html
For example purposes, we'll say the people you want to allow are called 'customers'. Create a 'customers' usergroup at Admin Panel -> Members -> Manage Usergroups (just use the same permissions as regular members unless you want different). Move the desired members to that usergroup by editing their profiles. Then, edit the specific categories you have in mind (either through Admin Panel -> Categories -> Bulk Edit or visiting the category and clicking edit in the editorial controls area). On the edit category page, there's a "Display category permissions for editing" link near the bottom. Click that to expand that area. Then select "no" for "Can view category?" for the guest and member usergroups, "yes" (or leaving as the default would work too) for the customers group. You now have a category that can only be viewed by customers.]]>
Site Details Understanding the site details section. https://scripts.webmastersite.net/wsnlinks/manual/administrative-tasks/configuration/site-details-501.html Sun, 10 May 2009 08:45:32 GMT https://scripts.webmastersite.net/wsnlinks/manual/administrative-tasks/configuration/site-details-501.html
The title would be the title you want your link partners to link to -- so, "Your Site" instead of "Your Site's Directory". This will be the default title for the directory too until you specify the directory title at Admin -> Customizations -> Page TItles.

The description should also be what you'd want a link partner to use.

The title and description will be used in the RSS feed by default. You can edit the RSS Feed template (Admin Panel -> Themes -> Manage Templates) to change that to something else.]]>
Guest Page Cache System Caching pages for faster display and lower server load. https://scripts.webmastersite.net/wsnlinks/manual/administrative-tasks/configuration/guest-page-cache-system-377.html Thu, 15 Mar 2007 16:17:25 GMT https://scripts.webmastersite.net/wsnlinks/manual/administrative-tasks/configuration/guest-page-cache-system-377.html Warning: The guest page cache system will cause those not logged in to not see a current version of your site. It is therefore only useful for sites where the content hardly ever changes.

The guest page cache system, which you can turn on at Admin Panel -> Miscellaneous -> Advanced Options, allows your pages to load faster by caching a copy of what the page looks like. This means that you should only use the cache if there's a single way you want each page to look to all people who aren't logged in. If you have multiple template sets or multiple languages you want to let people choose among, you will not want to use the cache. Keep in mind that WSN already caches some slow queries and toplists automatically and you should only consider this cache system if your pages are too slow or server load too high.

If your site doesn't get a lot of non-guest traffic, you'll need to set up a helper cron to ensure that timed tasks still all get performed.

After submissions are made it automatically updates the cache of the destination page, but it cannot update any pages that for example might include a toplist which does or should reference the updated/new page. Please note that the cache can use up huge amounts of disk space on a large site. If you have 500 categories and 15,000 listings, it could take a gigabyte to fully cache. The total cache size will be bytes-per-page * number-of-pages * number-of-usergroups-cached. If your space is limited you can set a limit on the total size in your cache settings, but the smaller you make this value the more often slow uncached pages will be served.

After making template changes or the like you may wish to reset the cache, by clicking the "empty cache now" link on the advanced options page.

The cache system excludes the admin panel, plus anything under these files on the user-side: edit.php profile.php privatemessaging.php buddylist.php online.php 2checkout.php paypal.php nochex.php activate.php upgrade.php setup.php attachimport.php chat.php im.php in.php modcp.php newposts.php savedtopics.php searchips.php securityimage.php revisepost.php addpoll.php invites.php
