Banner Rotation

The purpose of this module is for banner rotation and display in the Ringlink list file. It could also be used to display a randomly selected line of text. Thanks to Jock Dempsey for providing this script!

Cron Reorder

This neat script is called from cron and will randomly reorder your Ringlink! To install it: 1) make the necessary editing at the top, and upload it to the same directory as the other Ringlink *.pl or *.cgi files. To run the script manually, log in to the server via telnet and use the command

perl randsort.pl

NOTE: Don't forget to make a backup copy of sites.db before you test it. And, it's advisable to rename the file, so not anybody can call it and with that reorder the ring whenever they like.

Moving Ringlink to New Domain

Update Ring Statistics

This script updates the summary ring statistics. It's written as a CGI script, but provided that file ownerships and permissions allow it, it can also be run from the command line or from cron. The script can be used with Ringlink 3.05 or later versions.

Without this script, Ringlink automatically updates the ring stats daily, and those automatic 'on-the-fly' updates are most often sufficient. This script may be useful on Ringlink systems with many sites, if the automatic updates are considered to take too long time.

You need to set the path to the data directory before uploading statsupdate.pl, and if you don't put it in the Ringlink CGI directory, you also need to edit the second line.

Download it: Statsupdate script

Print Raw Statistics

The summary ring statistics displays the average hits per day for respective site during a period of up to 30 days. This script prints the raw hits per site for each day.

Place the script in the Ringlink CGI directory and run it from the browser. To limit the output to one ring, append the ring ID to the URL:
...rawstats.pl?ringid=xyz
Otherwise it prints the raw data for all the rings on the system.

Download it: Raw statistics script

Ringlink System Template

Replaces the system index page that comes with the program, with a entire webring system website including demo ring.
