This is a node type that allows you to create a library of http://  
links to other resources on the Internet. Each node has a title, the  
matching url and a description. The node can be allocated to a  
taxonomy in the normal way.
You can use Janode to create your own webdirectory. Janode also  
periodically checks each http:// link for 404 errors.  Any Janodes  
with a 404 error are put into a moderation queue for investigation.

To install simply go to "admin >> modules" and enable.
The 4.7 system automatically creates the database table
required for this module.

Don't forget to go to "admin >> access control" to setup
which roles can create/modify own janodes.

Limitation: currently only "http://" links are permitted.

Cron is used to attempt an "HTTP GET" of your link. If an
invalid http header (say 404) is detected, the janode is
placed back into the moderation queue and unpublished. The
site admin should decide what to do with it.

Note, in order for cron to check a link, your server must be
able to make HTTP (TCP Port 80) outgoing requests. Firewalls
may block this thus sending all ur links back into the
moderation queue.

Settings
========

Display the link on teasers
  Does what it says on the tin

Display the link on main node body
  Does what it says on the tin

How many janodes to 404 test
  Does what it says on the tin. Don't set this too high.
  The module batch tests the links.

The class name applied to the link's HREF
  If you want a specific style class applying to the 
  link enter the class name here. A blank input here
  means the HREF link will not have a class applied

Link prefix
Link suffix
  Again, you may want to "wrap" the link in say a <div>
  You can do that here or leave blank for no wrapping.
