Release of Ringlink 3.1  Topic: Program • Category: News Posted by: Gunnar on Thursday, March 18, 2004 - 01:17 PM

Ringlink 3.1 is available for download. This release was made because there are a few minor changes since version 3.05, and I wanted them to be included in the latest published version. I'd like to comment on one thing.

Release of Ringlink 3.05  Topic: Program • Category: News Posted by: Gunnar on Monday, October 06, 2003 - 08:06 AM

Ringlink 3.05 is available for download. The speed when updating the ring statistics and resetting the stats has been increased. This presupposes that the server allows for forking multiple child processes, and may be useful for larger Ringlink systems. There is no 'visible' new feature in this version. Enjoy!

Ringlink 3.04 is available for download. It includes an easy way to authenticate to a mail server when the SMTP option for sending email messages has been choosen. This makes it possible for more Ringlink users to have the return messages, resulting from invalid member email addresses, directed to the ringmasters. Version 3.04 also includes a couple of changes in order to prevent certain redundant listings with the search engines.

Release of Ringlink 3.03  Topic: Program • Category: News Posted by: Gunnar on Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 07:01 PM

Ringlink 3.03 is available for download. The format of the template variables has been changed, in order to address a conflict when JavaScript is used for customizing templates. Accordingly, if you have installed version 3.0x, it's advisable to upgrade before customizing the templates. If you just have customized any of the templates, you will have to redo it. I'm sorry for the inconvenience that may cause. Version 3.03 also includes an updated Turkish language file. Enjoy!

Release of Ringlink 3.02  Topic: Program • Category: News Posted by: Gunnar on Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 07:54 AM

Ringlink 3.02 is available for download. This release includes a couple of clarifications, compared to version 3.0, to prevent problems in connection with upgrades. It also fixes an embarrassing bug in version 3.01. If you have successfully installed version 3.0, there is no reason to upgrade to 3.02. But if you had the 'bad luck' to install version 3.01, and the version of Perl is lower than v5.8.0, you should at least replace the rlmain.pm file as soon as possible. Enjoy!

DOCUMENT_ROOT alert  Topic: Program • Category: Tips & Ideas Posted by: Gunnar on Tuesday, July 22, 2003 - 07:00 PM

Ringlink 3.0 is recommended to be run under "taint mode", i.e. with the -T switch included at the first line of the *.pl files. For that reason, when setting $rlmain::sitecountpath, and possibly $rlmain::datapath, in rlconfig.pm, you need to specify full pathnames without using the $ENV{DOCUMENT_ROOT} variable. A couple of comments in rlconfig.pm will be changed in next Ringlink release. In the meantime, please disregard the current suggestion to use $ENV{DOCUMENT_ROOT}.

Date order and statistics  Topic: Program • Category: Tips & Ideas Posted by: Amdramwebring on Sunday, June 29, 2003 - 03:42 AM

Having just migrated from RobRing, I'm used to seeing sites sorted by date and seeing site statistics sorted by date joined. Is it possible, or in development, to do this with ringlink? Within the ringadmin, it would be good if date joined was one of the fields of data available about each site.
