Hi 👋 (we talked about it on Discord)

To solve the security problem of when the @ prefix is ​​removed, it would be necessary to blacklist all the routes already used (those which would cause problems)

This issue may seem minor, but actually removing the prefix (by default @) can really be a great addition to the project!!

Thanks in advance,
Doncellup

[JulianPrieber]

I'm probably not gonna remove the @ by default.

I might add a system that allows changing the default URL prefix in the next update of the Advanced Config.

As for the blacklist, I would have to look into how to realize this. As for now, this is this something that is too complex for me to solve for a problem that only affects a tiny minority of people.
This issue is pretty low on my list and might take a while to get implemented.

[JulianPrieber]

@Doncellup

I worked out the blacklist system, and you can fully use this feature now. If enabled in your config, you can use URLs without the @ prefix.
I might include a full implementation to use this as the default action in the next advanced config update.

You can use this feature if you install the latest beta version.

Awesome !! I'll try that later, I don't have time right now. Thank you very much for implementing this !

[arcanation]

hello, is there any tutorial how to remove @ prefix, I try to go to advanced config but there's no option to remove @ prefix,
is there anyway to do it?

[Doncellup]

Another suggestion:

Currently, to change the order of the buttons, you have to number them all one by one, which is long. The worst part is that as soon as you want to add one, you have to renumber everything.

To remedy this problem, there would have to be a drag and drop system like this:

Thanks in advance,
Doncellup

[JulianPrieber]

Awesome addition, I would love to see this implemented.

I will put this on the list and mark this as help wanted. I'm not really comfortable working with JavaScript, meaning I won't be able to add this any time soon.

If anyone would like to get this working, I would be happy to help where I can.

[JulianPrieber]

@Doncellup

We actually managed to work out a solution that implements this. We're doing a public beta test on: https://demo.littlelink-custom.com

[Doncellup]

Hello ! One more suggestion! I find that currently the share button is a bit vulgar, it takes up as much space as the link buttons…
I think it should be replaced by a small logo like this (it comes from Linktree):

[Doncellup]

One more suggestion!!

On PC (large screen) the buttons seem really small (they are the width of a phone screen…).

It would be really nice to widen them more (like on Linktree) and that they resize according to the width of the screen, with a maximum width anyway.

It would be nice to do that natively, but normally it's the themes that handle that?

[JulianPrieber]

Again, as stated above, we use the frontend provided by the project LittleLink and will probably continue to use mostly use that unchanged as the default option.

However, if you visit your link page on mobile or resize your screen to a specific size, you can observe that the share button resizes to fit the smaller screen size better.

But yes, everything can be adjusted however you'd like with themes. This includes the normal/share button sizes and scaling of all elements on multiple resolutions.

[Doncellup]

Hmm okay, I will inquire to create my personalized theme

[MagicLike]

What about an updater for themes?
For example, when a theme is added, a pull/git link is included so that LLC can automatically detect when something changes or a new version is released. Then the user gets notified and LLC can update the theme by itself.

[MagicLike]

I am just setting up my beta install - I will test it then...

[MagicLike]

For the problems with the GitHub API:
We could make the auto-updater optional and include it in the initial setup / config.
Everyone, who wants to use it, needs to provide their own API key (I think thise are limited with 5000 request/h) and therefore a GitHub account.

[MagicLike]

Tested it, runs nice - but apparently the rate limit is already reached...

[MagicLike]

Sorry, I couldn't aswer. But I am glad, that it worked! Maybe you could create a repo for the Aurora theme - with permission of the Discord user - and add the credit there?

Kiwi doesn't have any problems with a repo created on his/her behalf. But I think #160 would be better...

[MagicLike]

One small addition: The table should show the newest version available version number next to the installed one.

[ugintl]

Allow admin to customize user permissions

As an admin, I want to be able to create roles and customize user permissions. Is it something in your to do list?

[JulianPrieber]

Probably not any time soon.

To what extent would you like to customize permission exactly?

[ugintl]

crud permissions. What we normally see in laravel apps. Ability to create roles and limit their access using permissions. In LLC I see there are already roles like admin, vip and normal user. Let me know if you need more clarification. Which laravel package is LLC using for auth and user management?

[JulianPrieber]

I didn't write this system, so I'm not sure.
I don't even know what the VIP group does. I know it does something, but I forgot what exactly.

[MagicLike]

"Update manually" should link to the Theme repo (if linked)

[JulianPrieber]

Unlikely that I will add this. The system uses this when no link to any repo is present, so there is nothing I could link to.

I could link it to the theme page.

[MagicLike]

Yeah, I did not think of that...
But that is a better idea!

[JulianPrieber]

8e23234

[MagicLike]

"Update all themes" icon should spin, when pressed

[JulianPrieber]

Yeah, the Bootstrap Icon isn't centered right I think.

[JulianPrieber]

I'm not sure if this is better: https://codepen.io/julianprieber/pen/gOzLeGK

[MagicLike]

No, nothing changed...
But I think this CSS line should fix the wobbling:
transform-origin: 50% 50%;

[JulianPrieber]

Unfortunately, that doesn't do it.

[MagicLike]

But I think it's okay for now because it's barely noticeable.

[woutr-nl]

A thing that i'm missing right now is the ability to test if the mail is working.

[JulianPrieber]

Added to the list 👍

[JOY]

Hi. I'd like to suggest the verification feature in which user can authorize their social accounts to have a green check.
Ex: In Unstoppable domain, I have to login and authorize the social accounts to get them listed: https://ud.me/overmint.x

[ADHDefy]

Hi! I would like to see Calckey added as a predefined site. It is a rapidly growing, feature-rich Fediverse client based on Misskey.

https://calckey.org/

Thank you! :)

EDIT: I would still like to see Calckey added, and I'd also like to request kbin. It is yet another new and bustling Fediverse client. It's a link aggregator, like Lemmy. You can see more here: https://kbin.pub/en

[UberMetroid]

It is a big ask, but I would like LDAP added for user control. Thanks!

[spikehidden]

Since Linkstack has multi domain support why not make it possible to show a different default site on the homepage based on the domain or load a .env file per domain.

Right now I either have to completely install and Setup LinkStack a second time or try making a redirect via Cloudflare.

[adhodgson1]

Have you got this multi-domain redirect working currently? I've tried a few recipes using Nginx but have fallen short.

[JulianPrieber]

  if ($host = 'example.com') {
    return 301 https://xyz.com$request_uri;
  }

[zahornyak]

Do you know if that has still not been implemented?

[h0ek]

2fa 👍🏻

[Eamourinho]

OAuth/OIDC/Social sign on? :D

[JulianPrieber]

Social login is already implemented

[D1reW0lf]

Do you know if there are any changes adding Mastodon to the list of supported sites?
I tried to add this plug-in without any luck.
(It crashed my site but nothing a backup couldn't handle. :D )

https://github.com/kawax/socialite-mastodon

Thank you.

[tylertufano]

Especially for the self-hosted crowd, add support for additional SSO login providers (Authelia, Authentik, Keycloak, etc.).

Socialite Providers provides support for different services according to their documentation (https://socialiteproviders.com/Authelia/). Or, using generic OIDC provider (https://github.com/Kovah/laravel-socialite-oidc).

Additionally, add the option to attempt to login automatically with the preferred provider.

[timscha]

I am missing a some Page Icons. I would love to see icons for Behance (that's missing in general) and Spotify.

Also it would be nice to change the footer links completely on my own (for example, add a link to an existing privacy page).

[soja92]

Would be useful to be able to manage multiple pages under a single account.

[forgeOneHQ]

That would be an awesome feature.

[narvaldreams]

Hey, a few days ago I paid the Sponsor 8 dlls and when I tried to configure the DNS it was not possible, I sent an email informing that situation and how the access would be for the administration of said process and they NEVER answered me.
Not even an email to let me check or any help, they just ignored me.
I hope that here you can answer me and give me the support I need.

[JulianPrieber]

Hello Miguel,

Thank you for reaching out and bringing this to our attention.

I sent an email with detailed instructions 8 days ago to the provided email through the form. I've just checked my spam folder and didn't receive any emails from you. Let's try again. You can contact support directly at info@linkstack.org for assistance with your DNS configuration issue.

Please note, this thread is primarily for feature requests, not support inquiries.

[JulianPrieber]

Hi @narvaldreams ,

Just checking in. did you manage to send an email to our support address? I haven't received anything yet. Please let me know if there are any other ways you'd like to connect.

Thanks,
Julian

[stock-reaper]

Suggestion: It'd be good to be able to insert images within the text editor fields for example inside the "text block" or inside the page description. Even the ability to embed images in text fields with tags would be great!

[pa-philos]

I'd love that as well. Would allow for a more customizable web solution.

[PYU224]

Hello.
If you add linkstack crypto address, I want to create instance.
Would you add crypto address in additional links?

For Example, this cointree.
https://cointr.ee/

[wittywilla]

I would love for there to be the addition of the Threads social media site in the predetermined social media link templates - or the ability to set custom icons for custom links.

One more addition I'd love to see would be a block that you can write out titles & paragraphs and whatnot with proper formatting tools - as well as adding text size and formatting tools for the profile page description (like choosing the width in an easy to find manner)

¹ Maybe someone here will sponsor this feature and we will see it much faster ✌️
² It's worth reading the discussion because the Feature seems more interesting than the ideas above (a very practical feature).

[thealexparadox]

addition of fediverse:creator meta tag
it could go under 'custom meta tags' in the config

syntax:
'fediverse:creator' => '@your@fediverse.address', // fediverse @address

[arazilsongweaver]

Add an optional basic email form to the "contact" page. This would allow users to receive emails from the site without publishing that email address on the site. This feature should also include a CAPTCHA and other anti-spam features to prevent bot abuse.

[iBasalamah]

Would you mind adding a button to rest the analytics?

[mperson91]

Any plans for simple form submission to collect an email list or a poll? Soundcloud box to auto play a song? Just a few ideas. Great project!!

[mdn-united]

A visitor counter on the page or a counter that shows how many page impressions there have been. Not everyone who opens a page clicks on a link.

Ein Besucherzähler auf der Seite oder ein Zähler, der anzeigt, wie viele Seitenaufrufe es gab. Nicht jeder, der eine Seite öffnet klickt auf einen Link.

[scuzy98]

Any chance for a picture block to add additional pictures?
