Is it possible to create an open source linklist script?

Thru fantastico? What is that? (he said, revealing his horrible ignorance of the scripting universe...)

So the version you downloaded worked out of the box? What's the link to that version?

Yes, the first thing to do is rip the useless dreck out of phplinks, like the countries thing and the hits in-out counter. And whatever else on further examination is useless for adult.

Then we need to make sure it's output is search engine friendly. This means the links urls shounld be standard, no "jump" codes. And the pages it outputs have to be highly editable, so that it's easy to control the page titles and text and adverts on the pages.

Possibly bypass templates or whatever it uses altogether, and move purely to having it output raw html of the links that can be included with ssi or the like in handbuilt category pages.

At that point we have something equivalent to a patched up links2.

Then, we need to decide what else to add. A blacklist, a partners system, and a link verifier suggest themselves.

But, I'm hoping Entreri or Andy or somebody else will dissect phplinks first and tell us what's wrong with it. If it's too weak for a moderate sized linklist we should consider some other approach.
