Installation of the rss link-feed on your website (WordPress, Jumla, Drupal, TextPattern, plain PHP based etc.)
After you added your website into our system you need to place the Partner link-feed or the Exchanger link-feed into your website's rss parser.
If your website is built on plain PHP, use our own rss parser below:
- Download our PHP Rss Parser
- Unzip it and read the Installation.txt inside
Installing on WordPress
- Download the WordPress plugin from http://linkgator.net/feed-parsers/wordpress/linkgator.zip
- Go into the Plugins section in your WordPress admin area.
- Click the "Add new" button
- Choose "Upload"
- Choose the linkgator.zip archive on your computer, which you downloaded from the LINKGATOR.NET
- Click "Install Now"
- Click "Activate Plugin"
- Then open the "Appearance" panel.
- Choose "Widgets"
- Mouse drag the "Linkgator RSS/Atom parser #1" or "Linkgator RSS/Atom parser #2 " widget to any free space, for example on a sidebar.
- Fill in the Title field, for example "Useful links", "Friends", "Recommended Sites" etc.
- Fill in the Url field, inserting the rss Partner link-feed or rss Exchanger link-feed from your LINKGATOR.NET account
- Hit the Save button. Our test rss/atom feed now should be displayed on your home page in the place you specified on the step 10.
Installing on WordPress (without a Widget) for advanced users
- Download the WordPress plugin from http://linkgator.net/feed-parsers/wordpress/linkgator.zip

<?php require_once
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/wp-content/plugins/linkgator/linkgator.php'?>
<?php echo linkgator('URL')?>
Where the ('URL') is the URL of the rss link-feed from your LINKGATOR.NET account.
For example:
<?php require_once
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/wp-content/plugins/linkgator/linkgator.php'?>
<?php echo linkgator('http://linkgator.net/plugin-links/feed/partner/2754')?>
