In the 3.3 version in the rss.php file about on line 164 it showed:
$tpl->assign(’url’, htmlspecialchars(’http://’.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].DOC_ROOT.’/’.$url));

In one release of phpLD v3.4 it shows:
$tpl->assign(’url’, htmlspecialchars(’http://’.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].DOC_ROOT.$url));

Replacing the: ‘/’. in the code seems to generate the correct link now so you may want to double check your file if you are having rss feed problems in generating the correct link.

This was reported on 4-17-2009 so future downloads should have this issue addressed.

To check this on your directory go to any page that has an rss feed and click on the feed link and view the feed. Then click on the top link that is suppose to go back to your directory in the category that the feed was from. If you get a 404 page then your rss.php file is not correct and you should check for this issue. If it works fine then you should be all set.

It is highly advised that if you are using rss that you check this at once due to the fact that if your feed is not working correctly, it will be sending 404 pages to the search engines for all your feed pages.

If you are using rss feeds on your site and your phpLD version is 3.4 it is advised that you check this issue at once and update if needed.

With the standard setup of php Link Directory, the expiry date is not automatically set, so the site administrator has to manually add the link expiration date in the admin panel when approving the link submission. This can sometimes be forgotten or possibly done with an improper date.With the following expiry date code directory administrators can now automate the process and have the proper expiration date automatically set for them no matter what their link settings are. For instance if you are setting links for a period of 1 year then all links submitted will be stamped with an expiry date of 365 days. If your settings are for unlimited (permanent) links then there will be no expiration date stamped as the link will never expire.
We have provided basic code and instructions for you below so it will be easy for you to modify your directory for the automatic time stamping of links that will automatically add the expiry date in your phpLD administration panel.
In the version 3.2 we have added in a featured year setting to give you an example of how to modify the code for additional custom link types if you have any.Please make sure that you use the proper code for the version of phpLD that you are running. We have provided version 3.2 and then below that we provide the standard code for version 3.3. Feel free to use this code on any directories that you own. If you find the code useful to your directory then of course we would appreciate a link back to our site: http://phplinkdirectorymods.com or if you like, any donations will be much appreciated and could be sent by PayPal and help with the further releasing of other helpful mods for the php Link Directory script.

Your php Link Directory should now be set to correctly and automatically add the link expiration date if it is suppose to have one.
We release this mod in the hopes that it will be helpful to fellow directory owners and operators of the phpLD directory script.  

Below you can veiw a screenshot of the template.

A live demo with additional mods can be seen at: Jooomla SEO Directory

NOTES:

In order to show the featured links and most popular categories on the homepage of your directory you must replace or edit the init.php with the one provided in the zip. There is also a psd file provided to make it easier for you to modify your site name and design.

Next we will work on full smarty template integration for Wordpress and then if successful we will tell about it here on our new blog and set up a download for complete instructions. This would probably be the best way to integrate Wordpress into the phpLD directory as it is powered by the smarty template system.

But for now it can be integrated by using the process of making some cloned html pages of your site and adding in the Wordpress php code and and then saving as php pages in your existing Wordpress template. For instance what I did was to take the default Wordpress template and then make a new index and header page using my html code for my site’s template stripping out any smarty code. Then I added in the Wordpress index.php code into my index template clone and then saved it as the new index.php and did the same process to the header but only using the necessary code and then saved that as the new header.php in the Wordpress default template. If you try this process it will work but you will have to have some patience and play around with the new template pages and your css code to get the look you want. You also will need to make a custom sidebar page and add your Wordpress sidebar.php code to that saving the new page as sidebar.php so your sidebar will display to blend in with your site. I will modify this post later with a little more details on the above integration process and hopefully have a smarty version to share soon.

Good luck and happy blogging with your new phpLD integrated with Wordpress.
