Hardlinks

Hardlinks allow you create sorted lists of hardlinks, optionally, per niche. Hardlinks are based on toplists, so you can use the same codes, as you would with toplists (see also http://controlscripts.com/viewtopic.php?id=27).

Creating a hardlink list

Go to the hardlinks module and enter the following fields:

Title

Title of your hardlink list

Template

This template is the same as the templates you use with toplists. Additionally, you can use the [METADATA_METANAME] to render the name of the niche, of this list.

Example of a hardlink template:

<div class="smallfield">
<h2>Hardlinks</h2>
<ul>
<TC_TRADE><li id="toplist"><a href="[TOPLIST_SOURCEURL]" target="_blank">[TOPLIST_TITLE]</a></li></TC_TRADE>
<TC_TRADE><li id="toplist"><a href="[TOPLIST_SOURCEURL]" target="_blank">[TOPLIST_TITLE]</a></li></TC_TRADE>
<TC_TRADE><li id="toplist"><a href="[TOPLIST_SOURCEURL]" target="_blank">[TOPLIST_TITLE]</a></li></TC_TRADE>
<TC_TRADE><li id="toplist"><a href="[TOPLIST_SOURCEURL]" target="_blank">[TOPLIST_TITLE]</a></li></TC_TRADE>
<TC_TRADE><li id="toplist"><a href="[TOPLIST_SOURCEURL]" target="_blank">[TOPLIST_TITLE]</a></li></TC_TRADE>
<TC_TRADE><li id="toplist"><a href="[TOPLIST_SOURCEURL]" target="_blank">[TOPLIST_TITLE]</a></li></TC_TRADE>
<TC_TRADE><li id="toplist"><a href="[TOPLIST_SOURCEURL]" target="_blank">[TOPLIST_TITLE]</a></li></TC_TRADE>
<TC_TRADE><li id="toplist"><a href="[TOPLIST_SOURCEURL]" target="_blank">[TOPLIST_TITLE]</a></li></TC_TRADE>
<TC_TRADE><li id="toplist"><a href="[TOPLIST_SOURCEURL]" target="_blank">[TOPLIST_TITLE]</a></li></TC_TRADE>
<TC_TRADE><li id="toplist"><a href="[TOPLIST_SOURCEURL]" target="_blank">[TOPLIST_TITLE]</a></li></TC_TRADE>
</ul>

Bare in mind, that if there arent any trades left, the <TC_TRADE> tag and its content will be removed.

Activating and monitoring of hardlinks

In the edit screen of trades, you will see a separate 'hardlink module' section. For every trade, you can set the following fields:

Hardlink

Enable or disable the hardlink status

Monitor hardlink

Monitors the trade for a backlink. By default, it will check the trade out url for a link to the domain name of the current account. You can overrule this (for abc's) by changing the following field.

Hardlink URL

Optionally, monitor this url for the backlink

HL search string

Optionally, monitor the url for this string
