Occasionally, you’ll have a project where one of the last minute ideas is to add a manageable list of links to a webpage or series of webpages. Nothing fancy, just a list of links that can be plopped into a layout.
Well, this little project allows you to quickly set up a web-based administration for simple link lists. This isn’t a full blown manager, but simply a piece of a larger project. Should readily integrate into existing solutions if you’re willing to do some code. At any rate, you provide the links in an easy to use back-end and then can pull that list in a variety of formats by hitting index.php (or whatever you choose to actually pull the list, it’s fairly easy to change.) Currently by default it can give you a raw html list, an rss feed, or the list in javascript form. Simply unpack it, make sure the data folder is writeable, set the password in config.php and then hit admin.php and off you go. A demo is available. It’s reset every half hour, and the password is ‘demo’.
I plan to release a version with some link generators for this in the coming weeks, until then you’ll need to hand-write the actual URLs to pull the lists.
