## تفصیل

Open Directory Links (ODLinks) help you to build a websites directory and allow 
your site visitors to submit links by themselves and enabling visitors to search
for a website.

This plugin is under active development. If you experience problems, please first
make sure you have the latest version installed.
 Feature requests, bug reports 
and comments can be submitted [here](http://www.forgani.com/root/opendirectorylinks/).

### Upgrade

You will need to make the Smarty cache folders writeable (chmod 777):

 * odlinks/includes/Smarty/cache
 * odlinks/includes/Smarty/templates_c

### Notes

I hope you enjoy using Odlinks.

Thank you
 Manny Forgani

### History

### To Do

### Arbitrary section

### A brief Markdown Example

## انسٹالیشن

 * Unzip the downloaded file and upload the odlinks folder to your WordPress plugins
   folder (/wp-content/plugins/)
 * Log into your WordPress admin panel
 * So go ahead and activate the plugin, which should appear in the list of installed
   plug-ins.

The activation process add a new menu with the name "ODLinks” to the navigation 
bar in your WordPress admin site.
 * "ODLinks” will now be displayed in your admin
panel.

 * For first step instructions, go to Options "Settings” under ODLinks menu.

You will need to make the Smarty cache and template_c folders writable (chmod 777):

Use your FTP client to change its permissions to 777. * odlinks/includes/Smarty/
cache * odlinks/includes/Smarty/templates_c

Once you have changed the folder permissions, return to your browser, and refresh
it.
 Now you can submit your settings. After submission, installer process will 
create the tables automatically.

For your information, after submitting the settings a new page will be created with
the title [[ODLINKS]].
 This title will be also added to the content of pages automatically.
Do NOT remove the page. The plugin work correctly with this page ID. Please, you
should keep the default title [[ODLINKS]] of page to make it to work…

To uninstall and deactivate the plugin, please go to Options "uninstall” under ODLinks
menu.

 * Creating/Editing a category and subcategory
 * Before deploying, you should create and set-up the categories and subcategories
   for your Website.
 * Go aheead and choose "Categories” from the ODLinks drop down menu and insert 
   the category name and category description and then submit it.
 * You can insert the subcategories by clicking on ‘Add Category’ and choosing any
   category name from the list in parent category. If you select root as parent 
   category, then you create a main category.
 * Create a subcategory is mandatory and required!

Depending on the "Permalink Settings” it’s possible for some pages that the categories
urls are not accessible.
 To fix this problem you should go to update the .htaccess
file which is existed under WordPress top directory.

Normally if you click on categories you will get something like this:
 /odlinks/?
_action=main&id=2&parent=1

If instead of the "/odlinks/” something else is placed for example "/97-revision-
v1/”
 you can update your the .htaccess file as follows:

 RewriteEngine On
 RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L] RewriteRule ^97-revision-
v1/?([^/]_)?/?(._)$ /index.php?pagename=odlinks=$1=$2 [QSA,L,R,NS] RewriteCond %{
REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php[
L]

Despite all of the negative reviews, I thought I’d test it out anyway. Sadly, it
doesn’t work. The sites that are submitted for review do not show in the admin section,
and the link to the thumbnails website is not active. It’s a shame, as it seems 
so promising!
