How to do this? I suspect some conditional switch could be inserted in the relevant template files to do such a thing in the normal link positions. An alternate I thought of was just making all links old style but then offering some extra variable box called key word or key phrase. Text there would be included in link details with a natural hyperlink if the link were reciprocal. Again I guess a template edit would be required to insert extra code if the link were indeed recipricol. Overall the general jist of my ideas are ..give the public a comprehensive directory by including useful sites that don't want to link back to me. But at the same time give some good reasons why linking back can be a good idea for external webmasters. Any thoughts on the above ? Good approach or silly approach? And technically is it relatively easy to do with simple template edits?

Advert blocks in templates might then be edited to include some conditional display based on member group. Members group..well that I guess would include the public ie any normal registration on the site to make use of typical facilities such as commenting, link lists etc. Would also be good to easily separate the different types for email promotions. The new group might be "webmaster" A semi logical trigger for switch to said group might be having an approved listing in the directory. Is there any built in way to achieve such group changing? Might be a case of me custom writing a little script to be cronned that would change membergroup on members where they have a valid link approved. ( slight downside to that might be time delay. ) Guess the hack might alternately run after the link is approved. Using the member rank settings in the admin panel might be a possible route? Fill that in as such : Give the Title webmaster to members with 1 to 1000 links I am unclear however if link as referenced above implies approved live link or just a link submitted. Thoughts and ideas welcome on the best route to head down.
