New: Stalker gets component & plugin

stalker_buttonWell, it's taken a while, but here it is... the Stalker component is now available for download!

The Stalker component works in conjunction with the latest version (1.0.0) of the module. Simply install the component, set up your links, and switch the new UseDB flag in the Stalker module config.

Currently, there are two options in the component, 'My Links'  and 'Social Networks'.  The Social Networks option is a master list of social networks. When installed, the Social Network table is populated with the same networks that the Stalker module supports, however, you can now add any links that I haven't yet added.  If you want to link to Yahoo Groups, just add a new Social Network using #id# as the place holder. If you want to replace the default icons, or add your own, then ftp them to the /media/stalker/icons folder.  All the default icons are 64x64 pixels, however, they can pretty much be any size you like, however I wouldn't go any smaller.

'My Links' is where you setup YOUR links.  Just add a new one, select the network, enter your username/id/whatever, the icon, the target (leave blank to open in new window) and away you go.  Once you've entered all your links, you can order the links however you like.

I realise I could've achieved the same with a single list, but I'm thinking about extending the component later to possibly import/download extra networks from a central location.

While competely pointless, there IS a front-end component but it was more for my own education than anything else.  Similarly, I've created a plugin which again was for my education rather than anything else.

Anyway, head on over to the Downloads section to get the component, and as always, let me know if there are any problems or suggestions.  Component & Plugin instructions are on the Stalker page.
