Content management

Hereby the final release of imLinks 1.03.
This module let's you manage websites and categorise these sites. Also, this module can serve as a business directory.

New features are the ability to use the title of a link in the url and to have an 'Add to TomTom' button with the contact details.

Due to some changes this version will work with ImpressCMS 1.2 only.

Nice URLs

A new feature with imLinks is to have alternative urls. With this feature the title or an alternative title of a link is used in the url.

Instead of

.../imlinks/singlelink.php?lid=834

the url will look like

.../imlinks/singlelink.php?lid=834&page=canadian_wellsite_-_blowouts_flares_and_mishaps

As users of imLinks already have noticed the reference to 'cid' in the urls has been removed. Instead there's 'page' in the case the option 'Use nice urls' in the Preferences has been turned on. The only function of the reference 'page' is to make the url look nice for search engines. It isn't use for any other purpose.

Add to TomTom

Another new feature is the ability to have an extra button in the Contact Details for adding the address to the favourites of a TomTom navigation kit. For using this function you have to obtain an API key from TomTom (add2TTsupport@tomtom.com). Enter the API key under Preferences and 2 extra fields will apear in the Link submission form (admin only).
In these 2 extra fields you can enter the longitude and latitude.

See also this forum thread for a screenshot and examples.
