Deep Link Mods

IndexU 5.4.X
IndexU Deluxe

Deep links feature seems to be popular among directories these days.
So here is how to do it in IndexU. (this tips is valid for IndexU 5.4.0)

  1. Go to Admin Panel > Link > Custom Field > Add New Field
    Content visible to member only. Please register or login first.

    You can ignore the rest of properties there.
    Here the screenshot :

  2. Repeat the first step but for the URL.
    Content visible to member only. Please register or login first.

  3. Next, you'll need to edit the detail page template (I assume 'kosmos' template is used).
    Go to Admin Panel > Template Manager > Template > Edit your kosmos template > Edit detail_link.html
    Add the following code :

    Content visible to member only. Please register or login first.

Done :)

If you want to add more deep links, simply repeat the above 1 - 3 step.
For more advanced use, example : show the deep links for premium listing only, you can use the following code :

Content visible to member only. Please register or login first.

One last details.
By default, IndexU show these custom fields in the "sort" filter on your browse page. So, you might want to turn it off. Same as step 3 above, but edit the browse.html file.
Change :

Content visible to member only. Please register or login first.

To :

Content visible to member only. Please register or login first.

Ok, I hope this tips will be usefull for you.

    what exactly is a deep link?

  2. admin Says:

    Deep link is an additional link that point to other pages on your site.
    Example :
    http://www.yourdomain.com (your main link)

    Deep links can be something like :
    http://www.yourdomain.com/about.html
    http://www.yourdomain.com/service.html
    http://www.yourdomain.com/product/
    etc.

    I just added this to my site. It seems to work well, but I'm wondering where does it show up? Does it exist behind the scenes or is it something searchable?

  4. admin Says:

    It shown in your detail page.
    But you can put it on browse page if you want to, simply by editing the rows template.
    And these deep links is not searchable.
