Discussion on Simple Link Directory Pro

All list items added to a single list will show in one column. For columns, you have to create multiple Lists and use the shortcode to display All lists or a Category of Lists. What you have right now is a single list display – so it is one column. Hope that makes sense.

so there’s no way to have one list be 3 columns? it will just be one huge column taking up the page?

Sorry, no. Except for single list – List title is essential.And even with a single list it is helpful for most use-cases. May I suggest using a slightly different, more descriptive title for your page title and put some text between header and list to help your users and search engine.

Ok, What is the sense of Categories of Lists? I cannot assign a link to a category. We can categories to lists. So If we add categories we also need to add list as a category?

So what I’m saying, We cannot categorize links with a single list ?

Lists are the base pillars of SLD. Yes, you can assign Lists to Categories, not link items. Then you can choose to show Only one category of Lists on a particular page and another category on another page. You can also do kool stuff like showing all categories with all Lists in Tab format. Example: http://dev.quantumcloud.com/sld/all-category-lists/

Also it would be very nice to have a management section where links can be assigned to other list.

I have several links which belongs to several same categories, So I have to add this link 5 times?

Thanks

The most common use case scenario of Simple Link Directory is to create and display multiple Lists of many Links on specific topics. As such, there is no option for a Link (list item) to belong to multiple Lists or Categories. That would make the process of creating Lists slower. For each link you would have to select a List and a Category from drop downs despite the chances of a single List item to belong to multiple Lists are usually not that high. When you have dozens or hundreds of Lists that would become a real issue to create or manage your Lists.

So, if you want a Link to belong to multiple lists or categories, you have to add the Link as List item for each of the different Lists. Each List can belong to one or more categories. With shortcode, you can output any Category on any page and all Lists that are assigned to that Category will show in that page.

It is [sld-tab mode=”categorytab” style=”simple” item_orderby=”undefined” column=”3” orderby=”date” order=”ASC” title_font_size=”” subtitle_font_size=”” title_line_height=”” subtitle_line_height=”14px” filter_area=”normal” topspacing=”“]

But do NOT copy paste from here. The quote sign will be messed up. All shortcode parameters can be generated from the Short Code Generator button in your page’s Visual editor. Look for a small SLD button. Also, check Settings->Help

Ok I send you an email, please help

Hi, how can we translate some interface parts? I have a dutch site.

“Live Search Items” “Add link” “Hi , Welcome to Dashboard.”

Etc…

Please use loco translate plugin which is free. Use its string translation feature.

Ok thanks, I managed to translate some parts. But my import one I cannot change with Loco Translate, it cannot find ADD LINK

It would also be nice feature to post/edit links from the front-end as an admin. When I visit this page it’s empty. /manage/?action=entrylist

Would it be much work to have this change? See the admin links are also visible?

Is it possible to have a payment option with Bitcoin? I have a site about bitcoin, so that would be a must-have for me.

Can this be done?

Thanks

Hi Vidal,

You can post links from the front end as admin – unlimited submission only for admin. But you can manage only from front end because front-end submissions need to be approved in most cases and so is saved into a different database until approved.

Payment option with Bitcoin is very interesting. But we just released the monetize version as 1st iteration. We wanted to work on better multi-language feature as next step along with more templates etc. We would integrate stripe as next payment gateway but it may take a while to integrate this feature in normal procedure. If you want to sponsor this feature, we can move it up the roadmap.

Hope you understand.

Ok thanks.

What about the SLD slug I want to change this, because it’s not nice! Also all your buyers will use this slug, so this is not very unique. It should be changed from a setting. How can we change this? If it only can be changed hardcoded in code, I don’t mind for now. But I really need to change this.

What about this Mask_url? I want to use it, because I some affiliate urls. But in the docs you say “Please note that URL masking may hurt your SEO.”

How can it Hurt my SEO? Isn’t there a way without hurting my SEO

This is a special Link Cloak Plugin (Pretty Link) https://wordpress.org/plugins/pretty-link/ Maybe do it the way they do it? It seems to be very popular For affiliate managers.

Thanks again

Thanks for your feedback again.

SLD does not use slug or make use of custom post type as it is not required. SLD is meant to be used as one-page directory with shortcode inside a WordPress page.

Pretty link is a plugin made solely for manipulating links. The masking option in SLD is a fringe feature. But according to your feedback, I will submit the feature request to our dev team.

Thanks
