New LinkStack release (version 4.0.0)

⚠️ Before you update ⚠️

Name Change

LittleLink Custom is now LinkStack.

Other than the new name and logo, nothing will really change for you.
All coming versions (including this one) are still compatible with the system you're used to.

If you are still using the default app name before you update, the update may log you out after completion.
This is normal and means the update went through successfully. You can simply log back in and use your instance like normal.

New license

With the 4.0 update, the project license has changed.

We have switched from the GNU General Public License version 3.0 (GPLv3) to the GNU Affero General Public License version 3.0 (AGPLv3) to ensure that any modifications made to our project will be available to the wider community, which we believe will benefit the project as a whole.

The AGPLv3 is a copyleft license that applies specifically to network-based software applications, whereas the GPLv3 applies to all software. By using the AGPLv3, we are making a more significant commitment to the open-source community, as it requires all modifications to our project to be made public. This ensures that everyone benefits from any improvements or bug fixes made to the software.

Advanced Config

The update to version 4 will reset your Advanced Config!

If you have advanced settings you would like to bring to the new version, we strongly urge you to back up your settings before you update.

✨ Version 4.0.0 - The new look ✨

Version 4 represents our most significant update yet, as we have completely overhauled the entire page. We have worked diligently to update every single page, resulting in a sleeker and more visually appealing look and feel.

New additions:

• New layout
• Manual user verification
• Multi domain support
• Hide share button
• Advanced user statistics for admins
• Admin Panel themes
• Bugfixes and comfort changes

New layout

With version 4 the layout of your application has changed a bit. You can still find most pages, how you are used to.
We changed everything to a naming scheme that is supposed to give new users a better overview of the site.

New sidebar:

The navbar has become a more integral part to the app. Every element now serves a purpose and can be interacted with.

New share dialog drop down menu

With now QR code share function

New notification and update notification menu. If a new notification or update becomes available one of these icons will display a colored dot.
Click on these to reveal a notification drop down menu to view all notifications and updates.

Personalization drop down menu. Click on your profile picture or name to reveal your personal settings.

This is the place to access your personal settings or log out.

The new styling menu gives you some options to customize your Admin Panel.
Here you can select dark or light mode and select one of the predefined color schemes if you don't like the default one.

Manual user verification

Admins can now select to manually verify every newly registered user.
This replaces the previous "block" function but works similarly.
When enabled in the config, if a new user registers, their status will be set to Pending by default. An admin can now approve this user on the users tab.

When a use's approval status is still pending, a message will be displayed, and they won't be able to use the application until they get approved.

Multi domain support

You can now run your server with multiple domains at once.
A new setting in the config allows admins to display multiple domains in the share dialog on the Admin Panel.

For this, make sure all domains are pointing to your web server and are used by your vhost.

You can then enter each domain (without HTTPS or HTTP) in the config entry
SUPPORTED_DOMAINS like shown below:

Make sure to wrap everything in quotes when doing this.

This setting can only be made by editing the .env config directly or using the alternative config editor.

Hide share button

Users can now hide their share button on their personal pages if they don't want to display it.

Advanced user statistics for admins

Admins now have a bit more information on how active users are and how many individuals register over certain time frames.

It is planned to expand this feature more in the near future to include advanced analytics for the users.

Admin Panel themes?

Admins can customize the feel and look of the entire page.
This marks the first step towards a full Admin Panel theme system.

Admins can customize the color scheme of the entire page and edit CSS to overwrite desired default styling.
Additionally, The banner image can be replaced to give admins more control over their page appearance.

Currently, this feature is aimed at semiprofessionals and professionals.

How to do it:

Upload and rename this file as "dashboard.css" to the folder "assets/dashboard-themes". This file contains all variables to edit the default color scheme.

To upload a custom header image, upload a PNG called "header.png" to the same folder.

Bugfixes and comfort changes

• Now displaying placeholder image if getting custom favicon fails
• Fixed Vcard throwing error on MySQL

Added "Save and Add More" button to add link page.

As always, we count have done this without our monthly subscribers and donors.
A huge “Thank You” goes out to everyone who supported this project.

Thanks to all our beta testers and everyone who participated in the public beta.
