Here is what I am looking for if anyone knows how to do this.

I want to have reciprocol only submissions. I cant figure out where that option is to begin with. :)

After that I want them only to link to the page that they are on.

So I would need them to link to the URL, Title, Description of the category they submitted on. Follow?

Just wondering if this is possible. Site I am trying to do this on is www.swaplinks.us

But at the very least how can I make it recip links only?

thanks

Login to your admin panel.
Go to Configs > Link Checking
Enable: "Reciprocal Links Checking"

Thanks I guess I already had that done just never tried to submit. :)

So I guess what I need now is something that I can display what I want them to link to.

Link {$link} I would need to = the link url of the category id they are submitting to. Same with description and title.

Can this be done.

Or maybe just tell me what file the reciprocal box is in on the suggest url page. I looked suggest-link.tpl thinking it would be in there but I cant see it.

Ill continue my own conversation as I go. :)

Ok I got to where I need to go which was on suggest-link.tpl

Now I am working on getting the code to pull the title, description, url info from using the category ID.

Using {$smarty.get.id} gets me the ID but now I need the other info.

This is where I am stuck right now. :)

Done thanks for the help! %)

Heres the mod in suggest-link.tpl if you want to get display your link information that you want your user to use when they are doing a reciprocal link.

<h3>Use the following information when linking back. </h3>
<h4>
<h3>URL:</h3>
<input name="URL" type="text" value="{$config.base}/{$category.path}/" size="75">
</h4>
<h4>
<h3>Title:</h3>
<input name="Title" type="text" value="{$category.title}" size="75">
</h4>
<h4>
<h3>Description:</h3>
<input name="Description" type="text" value="Contains current news and links for {$category.description}" size="75">
</h4><br><br>


Heres what it looks like : http://www.swaplinks.us/suggest-link.php?id=781

But I do have a question. Will them linking back not to the base URL be a problem? If so can I fix that or just disable it?

:applause: It's all nice but I am not sure if you are going to be able to set reciprocal checking for all these links.
If I am not mistaken you can enter only one url in your admin panel for cron to check it...
