# Links Plugin

The Links Plugin allows you to maintain a set of links, like a blog roll, for your site. You can setup categories to help organize the links.

Links can be setup to use the Moderation Queue allowing you the opportunity to review the link before it is live on your site.

# Links Plugin Configuration Options

Option | Description
--- | ---
Links Login Required | When set to True, only registered users can access the links section. Please note that Login Required in glFusion's main configuration takes precedence over this setting. So when that is set to True, anonymous users can not access the links section even when Links Login Required is set to False.
Categories per Column | The number of link categories to display per column.
Links per Page | The number of links to show per page.
Show Top 10 Links | When both Categories per Column and Links per Page are not 0, the plugin will show a list of the 10 most clicked-on links on the Links plugin's index page automatically. If you do not want that “top 10” list there, set this option to False.
Show Category Description | Whether to show sub-category descriptions when viewing a category or not.
Links Admin Settings
Open Links in New Window | If True, links will open in a new browser window. False will use the current browser window.
Hide New Links | Whether new links should be hidden from the “What's New” block (when set True) or whether to list them there (when set to False).
New Links Interval | For how long a link should be considered “new” and show up in the “What's New” block on the site. The interval is given in seconds, so the default value equals 14 days.
Hide Links Menu Entry | Whether to hide the “Links” entry from glFusion's menu bar (when set to True) or to show it (when set to False).
Enable Link Submission Queue | Whether links submitted by users will have to be approved by an admin first (when set True) or show up immediately (when set False).
Notification Email | Whether to send an email notification when a new link was submitted (when set to True) or not (when set to False).
Delete Links with Owner | Defines what to do when a user is deleted that is the owner of a link. When set to False, all links owned by the deleted user will be assigned to a user of the “Root” group (i.e. the site admin). When set to True, the links are deleted.
After Saving Link | Which page to go to after a links has been saved: * 'item': go to the linked site(!) * 'list': show admin's list of links (default) * 'plugin': display the public list of links * 'home': display the site's homepage * 'admin': go to the “Admin Home” page, (i.e. Command & Control)
ID of Root Category | ID to use for the root of the link categories tree.
