T3D Link Directory
by Demolishun · 07/22/2013 (5:38 pm) · 29 comments
This is a T3D Link directory to organize various information sources applicable to the T3D engine. It contains both links to the GG site as well as external links.
Here is the link to the directory: T3D Directory.
My goal here is to provide a categorized list of existing: resources, content, methods, topics, articles, etc related to T3D. It frustrates me to have to search and find resources I know are in the forums, but they just won't show up in a search. I also hate finding links in my bookmarks to show new people how to do something. So this is partly to help me help other members.
Please feel free to submit links for various things. Also, the category/sub category list is not comprehensive. Please suggest new categories/sub categories for stuff that just does not fit in the ones I have created thus far. Post a reply to this blog for new categories.
There are some issues with the link manager I am using such as I cannot have duplicate named sub categories. It screws up because they did the database stuff based on name rather than index. In the future I may rewrite that. So just realize I may not be able to get the category/sub category to exactly match what you requested.
Anyway, comments, improvement, etc please let me know if this is useful for you.
Edit:
I forgot to mention. Don't hesitate to show case your awesome stuff! If you notice a lot of the links in there already are just links to my stuff. Partly because I forgot I even did some of it and so I can point people to the content. As I go I will keep updating the links. Now that I have a simple way to putting this together it is just a matter of getting the links. If you cannot come up with a category submit it under UnCategorized. I will figure out a place for the content. Oh, and all content should be rated G.

I suspect it's the https.

I have added https links, but I did there from the backend.

Okay, I found that the code was trying to open up the website to check to see if the link worked. However it was not waiting for any time to allow it to happen. So I just made it so it just accepts the link. I also manually added the ones you provided. If you don't like the description I can change it. Also there is an option to flag problems with links. Should I turn that feature on?

Cool, thanks. IMO you can remove the first of my Intro to Git presentations - the second one is meant to include all the same information (eventually) but be clearer/more focused.

I also installed this:
perishablepress.com/5g-blacklist-2013/
Apparently this guy uses very good rule based blacklisting using .htaccess. So if any of the website parts return 403 for seemingly no reason please let me know. I will find the offending rule and nuke it. I am hoping this will make it a little more robust. I know I will never block everything, but if I can slow it down that would be good. I already don't allow any kind of comments at my site so that helps.

I am running a test on my website right now. I got a few more spam links submitted so I figure I would try a different captcha. I have the option of using 2 different ones. Hopefully this will stop the spam. If it is a person doing it then it will just take them longer to enter the captcha.I also installed this:

Well the fastest, easiest and most stable way to slow it down is to require an account / signup before posting a link. Otherwise it's going to just end up a linkbait site. There is only so much you can do to help stop spam without it either annoying users or causing you a headache or timesync. ;)

Then I end up having to clean out bogus signups. So I guess it is a trade off. Which one do I want to clean up? Links or signups.
I will keep experimenting. Since I changed the captcha I have not gotten any more bogus link submissions.

Yes you would.. Usually bogus signups are usually a lot less in number than bogus links. Either way, it'll be some work at times, no doubt. Just a thought, no worries.
