New LittleLink Custom release (version 3.1.0)

New additions:

• Added first setup page
• Removed external dependencies
• Minor fixes and improvements

Added first setup page

We implemented an installer page where you can set up your page with some important parameters to get you started. When setting up a fresh installation of LittleLink Custom, this page will guide you through the setup process.

Here you can check your required dependencies, set up your database, create an admin account and configure some page settings.

This installer gives the user the option to set up their application with a MySQL database. This may not work on all systems. Choosing this database type requires a separate MySQL server with an empty database. After you chose a database type, this cannot be changed later on without losing your data!

Replaced external dependencies

LittleLink Custom is now fully self-sustained with no external dependencies. We are now hosting fonts external CSS and JavaScript dependencies locally to comply with GDPR guidelines.

Previously, we relied on an external API to get favicons from websites for custom website buttons. We created a custom internal system for this purpose that works better than the third-party API that was previously utilized.

Some themes may still make use of external dependencies.

Minor fixes and improvements

Added dependency section to debugging information tab on config page

Added version number to diagnosis page

Removed URL from link query string

The theme selector now displays the current theme as selected by default

The theme selector now displays the theme name from the theme's README as the display name

New LittleLink Custom release (version 3.0.3)

This version includes documentation for: v3.0.0 v3.0.1 v3.0.2

This is a re-release of the latest version with important bug fixes applied:

Big front-end update part I + II

Part I

This update introduces a bunch of new features. Its goal is to improve the overall appearance and feel of the Admin Panel. We are keeping the general design scheme of the previous design, but we're improving a lot of pages with better designs and comfort features.

We completely reworked the button adder. We now separate specialty buttons into separate modules. Furthermore, we plan on greatly expanding these modules in the future.

Part II

The config editor has undergone a major overhaul in Part 2.

For sections like the Advanced Config and backups page, the new editor makes use of the previous editor's tab system.

The new configuration editor is the standout feature of this new addition. A lot of the settings menu's items are straightforward toggle switches. To apply the setting, simply flick the switch. No more changing the configuration text files' true or false values.

The Alternative Config Editor and the Advanced Config Editor were also updated. Like a true code editor, the new design enables colored syntax highlighting in the files.

Added option to theme config to use default buttons

Theme makers now have the option to use the default buttons in their themes. Previously, if a theme dint apply the same styling to all buttons every time a new button was added, this button had also be added to the theme requiring an update.

With this update, the default styling from the default theme can be applied to buttons with a new option in the theme config. This option automatically applies button updates to themes using this option.

One limitation of this new function is that this only applies if the default LittleLink Custom styling is used in the theme. For example, a reskin of the Default Theme.

New buttons

This update adds almost 50 new brands and buttons.

• [x] Improved visibility of multiple buttons.

• [x] Fixed Mastodon button.

Bug fixes

Fixed PHP incompatibility on the Docker version.

Profile URLs can now be configured to work without a URL prefix.

The URL prefix is the user identifier before the username (i.e. example.com/@example-user).

In the Advanced Config, users can define a second URL prefix. The default second prefix is set as "+" (example.com/+example-user). By removing the "+" and leaving the option "custom_url_prefix" empty, you can now access user's pages over example.com/example-user.

New additions:

• Theme Updater
• Minor fixes and improvements

Theme Updater

LittleLink Custom now includes a new theme updater! This updater allows you to easily update your themes to the latest version with just one click.

To enable this capability, an update was issued to all current themes that is essential for the theme updater to function properly. This means that it is necessary that you first update all your themes manually before you can use the automatic theme updater.

For this, we provide a single file containing all major themes on the latest version: themes.zip You can upload this file as a normal theme, and it will overwrite all themes you currently have with the latest version.

The theme updater adds 4 different tags to inform you about the status of your theme:

Your theme is up-to-date and everything is working as expected.

Your theme needs an update. You can update your themes by pressing the "Update all themes" button.

Your theme is not capable of updating itself. You will have to check for updates and update it manually.

Your theme is not setup properly and something went wrong. In this case, you should contact the theme's developer.

Minor fixes and improvements

• Added option to config to disable theme updater

Added prevention measures against Admins locking themselves out of their own instances.

If REGISTER_AUTH=auth in the config, the "E-Mail Verified" field will be hidden.

Enabled automatic updates for Windows based servers

A new updater system for Windows users now allows for automatic update via the one click updater.

Note that this updater will not make updates.

• Minor spelling adjustments.
• Minor security changes, and improvements
• Minor stylistic changes.

New LittleLink Custom release (version 2.7.3)

If you already own an instance of LittleLink Custom, download the update file below.

New additions:

• Added option to force HTTPS
• Added ability to delete themes
• Added default password warning
• Added option to expand admin menu permanently
• Added link to alternative config editor to the default config editor
• Hotfix

Added option to force HTTPS

A new option allows users to redirect traffic to HTTPS. This will work on all server types, including Apache and NGINX.

To enable this option, head to your .env config editor and set FORCE_HTTPS to true.

This option was added due to the removal of a similar function that got removed earlier due to the new docker version, for which access over HTTP was necessary.

Added ability to delete themes

On your theme tab on the Admin Panel, there now is an option that reads: "Delete themes". Upon clicking this link, you will be redirected to the new theme deletion page, where you can delete unwanted or outdated themes.

Added default password warning

A warning pop up will now appear on the Admin Panel for any user which still uses the default password (12345678).

This prompt can be disabled with a new setting in the Advanced Config by setting disable_default_password_notice to true.

Added option to expand admin menu permanently

The admin menu on the Admin Panel's sidebar can now be extended permanently.

To do this, set expand_panel_admin_menu_permanently to true in the Advanced Config.

New LittleLink Custom release (version 2.7.1)

If you already own an instance of LittleLink Custom, download the update file below.

New additions:

• Added built-in editor for Advanced Config
• New advanced config and analytic support
• Automatic app key generation
• Added page to download updater backups

Added built-in editor for Advanced Config

You can now edit your Advanced Config from the Admin Panel. To use this new editor on the Admin Panel, navigate to 'Config' and then click on 'Advanced Config ⤻'

New advanced config and analytic support

The latest update introduces a new config file named ‘advanced-config.php’. You can find this config file in the folder ‘config’ located in your root directory of your instance.

As the name implies, this file enables advanced configuration of your installation. This config caters to intermediate users who further want to customize their experience.

This file enables customization of the frontend of your site. You can edit the look of your Home Page, links and titles. Buttons on the front page can now be customized with the whole feature set of the usual buttons.

With this config, it is now possible to add Google Analytics support, as well as editing your meta tags. Many little customization options are now available that would be too specific for the .env config. These little changes add up to a whole new level of customization.

Every option in the new config features detailed comments explaining their function.

If you have questions about any of these new settings, feel free to join our Discord for help.

Automatic app key generation

Your LittleLink Custom instance will now automatically generate a new app key if none is set.

New LittleLink Custom release (version 2.6.9)

If you already own an instance of LittleLink Custom, download the update file below.

New additions:

• New advanced config and analytic support
• Automatic app key generation

New advanced config and analytic support

The latest update introduces a new config file named ‘advanced-config.php’. You can find this config file in the folder ‘config’ located in your root directory of your instance.

As the name implies, this file enables advanced configuration of your installation. This config caters to intermediate users who further want to customize their experience.

This file enables customization of the frontend of your site. You can edit the look of your Home Page, links and titles. Buttons on the front page can now be customized with the whole feature set of the usual buttons.

With this config, it is now possible to add Google Analytics support, as well as editing your meta tags. Many little customization options are now available that would be too specific for the .env config. These little changes add up to a whole new level of customization.

Every option in the new config features detailed comments explaining their function.

If you have questions about any of these new settings, feel free to join our Discord for help.

Automatic app key generation

Your LittleLink Custom instance will now automatically generate a new app key if none is set.

New LittleLink Custom release (version 2.6.8)

If you already own an instance of LittleLink Custom, download the update file below.

New additions:

• Added option for admins to view and delete user links
• Expanded Theme customization options
• Improved beta support

Added option for admins to view and delete user links

To use this new option, on your Admin Panel, navigate to the users tab.

Then click on "View" under "Links" for the user you would like to edit.

Here you can see all the links a user has added and delete any of them if needed.

Expanded Theme customization options

Themes now support custom animations! Theme makers can now include an animations.css file to implement their own custom animations or disable them entirely. All previously made themes should still work without a problem with the new system.

A theme credit page has been added. This page displays the contents of a theme's readme.md file. A link to this page can be found as a meta tag in the source HTML if inspected in a browser. You can always access this page with the URL your.domain.com/themes/@littlelink_name (For example, .../themes/@admin).

The share button icon has been changed to an icon provided by Font Awesome, which allows for easier color changes for hover effects, for example.

Improved beta support

This update included many features to improve the testing environment for our beta testers. You can learn more about beta testing at llc.bio/beta

Added an option to skip backups on updates in the config. Use this option at your own risk.

New LittleLink Custom release (version 2.6.7)

If you already own an instance of LittleLink Custom, download the update file below.

New additions:

• Added Automatic Updater
• Added beta support to updater

Automatic one click Updater

The newest update of LittleLink Custom introduces an automatic updater. This updater allows users to update their installation with just one click. Gone are the days of having to download the update files and placing them into your web directory by hand.

How to use the Automatic Updater:

To update your instance, click on the update notification on your Admin Panel.

Click on “Update automatically” and the updater will take care of the rest.

You can still download updates manually. New versions will are still uploaded to the GitHub repository as usual.

Before updating, the updater will create a backup. Your instance won’t save more than two backups at a time. You can download these updates from the created folder: backups\updater-backups.

If you switched your database to MySQL, your database will not be included in the backup.

To achieve this, we had to switch from hosting our updates on GitHub to our own update server. This requires running and maintaining a separate server.

❤️ Our supporters on GitHub and Patreon make all this possible. Special thanks to everyone who supports this project!

If you wish to help keeping this running for as long as possible, you can learn more about sponsoring here.

Added beta version support to updater

Enabled serving beta versions over the update server. You can learn more about beta testing on our Discord
