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 Upon clicking this link, you will be redirected to the new theme deletion page, where you can delete unwanted or outdated themes.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.

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.

Click on the "here" link, and you can download all your latest update backups.

Note that the updater won't save more than two backups at a time. Older backups will be overwritten by newer ones unless you rename them manually.

You can always access this page with the URL your.domain.com/themes/@littlelink_name (For example, .../themes/@admin).

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:

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.

Enabled serving beta versions over the update server.

Added option to set profile as homepage

If a user wishes to display their own profile as the homepage instead of the original landing page, they can now do so by adding their LittleLink Custom name to the config. This new feature can be enabled by entering a profile name to the 'HOME_URL' in the config found on the Admin Panel under Admin>Config.

The profile name can be found on the User Panel under the section "Page". The LittleLink Custom name is listed after the '@' symbol.

The name must be entered without the '@' symbol or the URL part. You can see an example for this below for the user 'admin'.

If this setting is applied, the previous landing page will be moved to your-domain.com/home or if you're using LittleLink Custom in a subdirectory, this would be your-domain.com/littlelink-custom/home.

Added phpinfo debugger

Added PHPinfo section to the config editor to display information about the current state of PHP.
This new section can be found on the Admin Panel under 'Admin>Config>PHP Info'.

Added share button to LittleLink pages

Added share button that is displayed on user's personal pages that if clicked either copies the profile URL or opens a share dialog window depending on the browser and operating system.

Fixed bug 'profile changes not applying'

A bug still carried over from LittleLink Admin, where users were unable to change name, email or password unless every value was changed at once.

Added formatting checks when editing or adding links

Previously, if links did not begin with "https://" or end with a "/" an error would occur. Links can now be added regardless of the previously mentioned formatting. A link added as "llc.social/" would automatically get changed to "https://llc.social"

Added option to only notify about important updates

Added option to only notify about major updates. This setting is now the default and can be changed in the config by changing the setting "NOTIFY_UPDATES" from "major" to "all".

Added security check tool

This tool is a new page that displays diagnostic information about your LittleLink Custom installation. This tool can be accessed on the Admin Panel under: Admin>Config>Diagnosis

Previously, installing LittleLink Custom on NGINX or other platforms that do not support .htaccess functionality presented a significant security risk if not configured properly. This tool simply shows if critical system files can be accessed externally by anyone. In addition, information about writing access to important files or directories is displayed here.

Read more about this feature on the blog here: https://blog.littlelink-custom.com/new-security-check-tool/
