Maybe your form consist of Name, Email, URL Reciprocal Link. But i want a litlle more advanced script that can check existing of our link and anti spam.

PHP link manager

Finished download? Now it’s time to install in same folder with wordpress installation folder, usually in root or public_html. Create a new folder call xlink and place your script in here, follow the instruction of installation. After done, i suggest you to make a new template page to easier our job combine this script to wordpress. Let give new template page with name exchange-link. Create a new blank PHP file in your theme folder, rename into tpl-exchange-link.php and add this code to first line.

<?php
/*
Template Name: Exchange Links
*/
?>

This code is used for wordpress to recognize this is a template page. Now add this rest of code to your template page.

<?php
/*
Template Name: Exchange Links
*/
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id=”content” class=”widecolumn”>

<div class=”post”>
<h2>Exchange Links</h2>

<div class=”entry”>
<?php

define(‘IN_SCRIPT’,1);
require(‘./xlink/settings.php’);

if ($settings['show_form'])
{
if ($i < $settings['max_links'])
{
?>

<div id=”xlink”>

<p><h3>Step 1: Add our link to your website</h3></p>

<table>
<tr>
<td>Website URL</td>
<td>: <a href=”<?php echo $settings['site_url']; ?>” target=”_blank”><?php echo $settings['site_url']; ?></a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Website Title</td>
<td>: <?php echo htmlspecialchars($settings['site_title']); ?></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Description</td>
<td>: <?php echo htmlspecialchars($settings['site_desc']); ?></td>
</tr>
</table>

<p><h3>Copy this format</h3></p>
<p><textarea onfocus=”this.select()” readonly id=”format” >&lt;a href=&quot;<?php echo $settings['site_url']; ?>&quot;&gt;<?php echo htmlspecialchars($settings['site_title']); ?>&lt;/a&gt; – <?php echo htmlspecialchars($settings['site_desc']); ?></textarea></p>

<p><h3>Step 2: Submit your link</h3></p>

<p>All fields are required. Please finish <b>Step 1</b> before submitting this form.

<form method=”post” action=”../xlink/addlink.php”>

<table class=”xlink”>
<tr>
<td><b>Your name:</b></td>
<td><input type=”text” name=”name” size=”40″ maxlength=”50″></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>E-mail:</b></td>
<td><input type=”text” name=”email” size=”40″ maxlength=”50″></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>Website title:</b></td>
<td><input type=”text” name=”title” size=”40″ maxlength=”50″></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>Website URL:</b></td>
<td><input type=”text” name=”url” maxlength=”100″ value=”http://” size=”40″></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>URL with reciprocal link:</b></td>
<td><input type=”text” name=”recurl” maxlength=”100″ value=”http://” size=”40″></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>Website description:</b></td>
<td><input type=”text” name=”description” maxlength=”200″ size=”40″ ></td>
</tr>
</table>

<p><input type=”submit” value=”Add Link” id=”x-submit”></p>

</form>

<div style=”display:none”>
<?php
} // End if $settings['max_links'] < $i
else
{
?>
<p class=”linkman”>&nbsp;<br /><b>Submit your website</b></p>

<p><i>Unfortunately we are not accepting any new links at the moment.</i></p>
<?php
}
} // End if $settings['show_form']

Save your template page. Go to Dashboard > Write New Page. Just write title as you like because it will replace by title in our template page. Choose Page Template from dropdown menu in bottom area. Select Exchange Links, publish your page and it’s time to view page.

Congrats, now you have a built in exchange links system in wordpress.

If you found any error, this is because wrong path file required. Just add one blank/point (.) in this path.

require(‘./xlink/settings.php’);

When sumbit a form if you get 404 error not found, it’s time to remove one blank/point to

<form method=”post” action=”../xlink/addlink.php”>

As we already know, IE has an extra padding (or margin?) that added to CSS. So we need a little script in our header theme to make IE read different CSS so this theme will show perfectly across browser . Add this code to your header.php theme before wp_head; via theme editor that built in Dashboard > Design > Theme Editor.

<!–[if IE]>
<link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_directory’); ?>/style_ie.css” />
<![endif]–>

You’re almost done. And now download this fixed CSS and replaces old CSS in your theme folder.

Download CSS Fixed

If you finished all step, now it’s time to preview theme using IE and Firefox. Everything is OK? Hey, you have done

Just let me know if you found something wrong in different browser (type/version). Happy blogging
