This Random Link Script was originally written to be part of my Free For All
Links Script, but I thought that I could also break it down and send it out as
a small script for those people wanting to run their own Random Link Page. It
should be relatively easy to set up.
=====================================================================
There are three files included in this package. They are:
README - This file
rand_link.pl - The Perl File that calls the Random Link
rand_link.html - An Example HTML of how to call the script
rand_log - A blank log file
=====================================================================
This is one of the more simple scripts that I have written and it only has one
variable that you must set up and another if you choose to use the logging
option.
RAND_LINK.PL
This file must be placed in the cgi-bin of your server and chmoded to
755, so that it is readable and executable by all users. There is one
variable in here, described below:
# Variables
$linkfile = "";
This is the database of links. Links must be
placed in this database, without any markup,
one per line.
# Options
$uselog = "";
This determines whether you want to use the
log or not. If you do you will simply get a
log of the Remote Host and the time they took
the random link. If you set this to '1' it
turns logging on, otherwise it is off by
default. If you do turn this option on you
must also fill in $logfile below.
$logfile = "";
This is the actual file system location of
your log file. It must be chmoded read/write
(666) for everyone and placed in a directory
with like permissions.
When you are done configuring these options you can move to the rand_link.html
file.
----------------
RAND_LINK.HTML
This is just an example of a random link html file. You can do
whatever you want with it, hack it up, remove it, etc. It simply shows how
you can call the script. The whole file really wasn't even necessary for me
to place in this package. I could have just explained all you now need to do
is point your html browser to the rand_link.pl file. So I could let users
take a random link simply by having the line in my html file:
<a href="http://worldwidemart.com/cgi-bin/rand_link.pl">Take a random
link!</a>
Its as simple as that.
_____________________________________________________________________
Use this script freely. All I ask is that you let me know the url of where
you are implementing this script and that you keep my name in it somewhere.
Not necessarily anywhere viewable by your users (It would be nice though), but
at least in the scripts. Enjoy!
