Thank you worked
Another question, when you click view all links, I wanted to add text content on that page where categories show. Which page is that?
tks
Isn't there a notice at the top of the page that reads:Quote:

You can quickly edit this content via Admin->Tools->Define Pages Editor, and select define_links from the pulldown.
Clyde,
Thank you for reply. Maybe I was not clear, sorry. I know you can add text to define_links.php and define_links_submit.php. What I'm I want to is, I want to disable the sidebox fetaure and just add a link to the bottom of my site that says Link Partners using ezPages. That I know how to do. When you Click the Link Partners it takes you to "View All Links" Page. This page has all the catergories in it. I wanted to add text content on top of the View All Links page. Hope this is clear and you can assist. Tks :)
Clyde regarding above I wanted to have a section for the view all links so I can edit it in Define Page Editor. I'm not that experienced in PHP and tried to look at the files to try to replicate this info, but I didn't want to mess things up. Hope you can help. tks again
You'll need to edit a couple of files to work this out.Quote:

add the following define statement: (of course you can add any text you wish.)

save the file and upload to your server.
Second
open includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_links_default.php
at about line 14 find the following section of code:
Immediately below this add the following:Code:<?php echo HEADING_TITLE; ?>
Save the file and upload to your serverCode:<?php echo TEXT_INSTRUCTIONS; ?>
Hope this helps
Thanks Clyde you're the best. Quick response. thank you thank you thank you
Hi clydejones,
I have installed Links Manager v3.4.1 on my store. Everything in the module works perfectly except that when adding a new link, the following error is displayed next to "Status" under "Options" heading

How do I correct this error?

Infact, I just noticed that in the "URL" field when http:// is entered before the link only then this error is caused.
If I enter www.testsite.com it gets inserted but when I enter http://www.testsite.com then this error occurs.

I also installed this mod. but was confused how to use it.
ex. when requesting link exchange with others, i have to add partner's code to my site, maybe add to my liks category page 1.
(on my linkd page, i created links category page 1, 2, 3........through AdminPHP)
In this case, where shoud i add my partner's code?
Thanks for your kind response.
Categories can be added through:Quote:

Once they have been added and activated, links can be added either through

or from the
links submit page
in either case you select the category where you want to place the link from the dropdown menu.
The program will place the link(s) where they belong.
Hi, clydejones,
thanks for your quick response.
Sorry for my confusion again. Maybe i did not make my question clear.
Follow your previou instruction, i did creat a link to www.example.com. it works.
On the contrary, when i requesting my partner to links to my site, he request me to add the following code to my own site.
what should i do, mank appreciated.

Judging from the code above, Your "link partner" is asking you to insert a complete page on your site.Quote:

All you really need is:
site title
site url
site description
And the other required fields on the form in either
admin -> extras -> links
or the
links submit page.
HI,clydejones
so many thanks for your quick answer.
Yes, you are right. My partner request me to ceate a links.php file on my site, then paste above code into it.
now the question is how to create a links.php file??
could you please also give me some suggestion?
Many appreciated.:clap:
Thats beyond the scope of this thread.Quote:

Hey Clyde,
I've installed the link manager, have categories setup and on, but when I tried to submit a link, I got a 404. Any clue what I'm doing wrong? I've read some of this thread but it's so long that I'm lost!
Never mind, I figured it out. It was looking for the page in ssl. I uploaded it there, and now it works!
Hi all - I installed this excellent mod with the sidebox in my right hand column. It all seems to work fine except for the submit link form. It works but it is too wide - it pushes my right hand sidebox column over to the right by about 50 pixels or so.
Any ideas please?
EDIT: After doing some digging it is the width of the field links_image_url that is causing the problem - how do I change it?
URL for your site?Quote:

I am not using the original css so I have changed some of the classes to match my templete but I didn't do anything to the module files so It should work fine. I integrated the stylesheets with my original Stylesheet.
Please let me know if there is a fix for that before I continue implementing the classes of my templete in this mod's templete.
a link of the page is www.coolcarpartsonline.com/links.html
This is the code with the correct classes which will give you the three across display:Quote:

Your display is as follows:Code:<h1>Links</h1>
<div class="linkstext"><a href="http://www.mysticmountainnaturals.com/demotest/index.php?main_page=links&lPath=6">
<img src="images/link_category/bath_beauty.png" alt="Bath and Beauty" title=" Bath and Beauty " width="80" height="80" /><br />Bath and Beauty</a></div>

<img src="images/link_category/computers.png" alt="Computers, Electronics, Gadgets" title=" Computers, Electronics, Gadgets " width="80" height="80" /><br />Computers, Electronics, Gadgets</a></div>
If you are going to use this <div class="content"> you will have to define the content class in the stylesheet so that it will out put the proper display:
.content{padding: 10px 0;float:left;width:33%;text-align:center;font-size:1em;}
However doing this will have an effect on other pages which use the content class for display.
My recommendation would be to use the class="linkstext" instead of the class="content"
Code:<h1>Links</h1>
<div class="content"><a href="http://www.coolcarpartsonline.com/index.php?main_page=links&lPath=1">
<img src="images/link_category/Automotive_Category_image.bmp" alt="Automotive" title=" Automotive " width="80" height="60" /><br /><div class="linkboxcontent">Automotive</div></a></div>
<div class="content"><a href="http://www.coolcarpartsonline.com/index.php?main_page=links&lPath=2">
<img src="images/pixel_trans.gif" alt="Business" title=" Business " width="1" height="1" /><br /><div class="linkboxcontent">Business</div></a></div>
<div class="content"><a href="http://www.coolcarpartsonline.com/index.php?main_page=links&lPath=3">
<img src="images/pixel_trans.gif" alt="Test" title=" Test " width="1" height="1" /><br /><div class="linkboxcontent">Test</div></a></div>

I have a question sorry if it's all ready answered but there so many threads here, the module looks great when you set up a link it asks for a Reciprocal Page a URL http://www.domain.com/links.php, now does this mean that the other site has to have this module installed for this to work, or can you just place a file on the other server? and when requesting links from others what links.php do I give them /includes/languages/english/template/links.php is that the right one?

Reciprocal Page: The absolute URL of your links page, where a link to our website will be listed/displayed.Quote:

In other words if I go to your site and create a link to my site I would put something like this in the Reciprocal Page field:
http:// www. domain.com/index.php?main_page=links&lPath=6
This is where I've placed the link to your site on my site.
If I don't have the module installed I would still use something similar such as:
http:// www.domain .com/my_links_page.*
Hope this helps
I seem to have a problem the module showed up in admin under configuration and extras but there no sidebox, any ideas?

I found the problem, forgot to change one of the template directories.

Hi,
Is there a setting where one can set the max. limit to the description field? Looking within Admin->Links Manager, I only see the setting "Link Description Minimum Length".
With the above-mentioned change, I would have to change the current "Description: *" field to something like "Description: (1000 characters limit) *". Any advice on which file(s) do I have to make the change to?
Thanks.
As I mentioned in a previous post, currently there is no option for this.Quote:

Updated to provide better accessibility for those who use assistive devices or text-only browsers.
Links Manager admin options:
NEW * Set Maximum length of the Link Description
NEW * Set Maximum length of the Link Title
NEW * Show store name and address on Submit Link page
And for those using captcha here's the 3.5 fix.Quote:

Make sure you have the captcha Mod Installed
Upgrade to the 3.5.0 version of Links Manager.
Unzip the file, Rename the YOUR_TEMPLATE folder to match the name of your custom template, upload the entire includes folder to your server.

Hello, just installed Link Manager 3.5.0 but as attached scresn shots I have problem.
1) For handling category, LM3.5.0 work just normally as zen cart module which handle multi language.
But input and editing links,
2) Only shows link format in selected language. If you are English side, then English link form shown, and if try to input from Japanese side then Japanese data form only shown. This is the same both front end and back end.
(In case I input data in Japanese side,)
3) At admin link list window, data made in Japanese side is not shown at English side and vice versa. (Yes, no sql data for another end because no form shown so no way to input.)
4) I feel both language should be able to be input at each language side. (Just like ezpages in multi language mode.)
My question is,
Q1. Is this simply my installation error? Then where to check?
Q2. If this is correct installation then how to manage both language in link? I have customer from many countries that must serve in both language......
Any idea welcome...........
:oops:
This is not an installation error.Quote:

It seems that I can input only one language per link record???
What I did: Translate admin/languages/english & include/language/english files into Japanese, and put the both language under both English & Japanese folder.
I checked this thread and could not find clear instruction.....
Thank you.
When you are in admin, You just need to choose your language (Japanese or English) then select links from the extras menu. Enter a new link and save it.Quote:

thanks Clyde, it works great !
i have another question, now the form background color is white and the form text is black, how do i change those colors ? i cant change them in links.css and lins_submit.css
add a background-color declaration to the fieldset in links_submit.css as indicated by the highlighted portionQuote:

Clyde, if I wanted to hardcode the sidebox to go to link category pages that have been created by a program I have instead of pulling everything from Links Manager Database, how would I go about altering the code in the sidebox file? I have already made the proper declarations in my language file. I just need to know how to do the code for my pages and to keep them in the scrollbox like there is currently.
Dunno if my request makes sense! Please let me know if I need to elaborate. Thanks!

I just recently upgraded to the latest version, and encountered a division by zero error pertaining to tpl_links_default.php (lines 25 and 27). And the configuration link was empty also.
So I just ran the upgrade script through the host PHPMyadmin, and got the configuration menu working. But now, the links pages themselves are empty store side, but as they were admin side. Not sure if I have messed something up, I appreciate any help with this.
Regards,
Heathenmagic

You'd have to create (hard code) the array without pulling any information from the database.Code:$links_query= ("select lc.link_categories_id, lc.link_categories_sort_order, lcd.link_categories_id, lcd.link_categories_name from " . TABLE_LINK_CATEGORIES . " lc, " . TABLE_LINK_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION . " lcd where lc.link_categories_status = '1' and lc.link_categories_id = lcd.link_categories_id and lcd.language_id = '" . (int)$_SESSION['languages_id'] . "' order by lc.link_categories_sort_order, lcd.link_categories_name");
$links = $db->Execute($links_query);
if ($links->RecordCount()>0) {
$number_of_rows = $links->RecordCount()+1;
$links_array = array();
if ($_GET['link_categories_id'] == '' ) {
} else {
$links_array[] = array('id' => '', 'text' => PULL_DOWN_LINKS_MANAGER);
}
while (!$links->EOF) {
$link_categories_name = ((strlen($links->fields['link_categories_name']) > MAX_DISPLAY_LINK_NAME_LEN) ? substr($links->fields['link_categories_name'], 0, MAX_DISPLAY_LINK_NAME_LEN) . '..' : $links->fields['link_categories_name']);
$links_array[] = array('id' => $links->fields['link_categories_id'],
'text' => $link_categories_name);
$links->MoveNext();
}
Right...do I put something likeand where do I insert that in my code? I have fiddled and fiddled with it and can't figure out how to get it to work.PHP Code:$content .= '<br /><a href="http://babygiftbasketsplace.com/store/birth-announcements.htm">' . BOX_INFORMATION_LINKS_CATEGORY1 . '</a>';
----------
This is the code that creates the the scrollbox: (includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_links_select.php
Do I enter in my hardcoded links somewhere within this code?Code:$content .= zen_draw_pull_down_menu('lPath', $links_array, (isset($_GET['lPath']) ? $_GET['lPath'] : ''), 'onchange="this.form.submit();" size="' . MAX_LINKS_LIST . '" style="width: 90%; margin: auto;"') . zen_hide_session_id();
I just installed this and Lightbox stopped working. Are they incompatible? I searched through the thread for any references and there was one but it didn't give any info.
Do I need to reinstall Lightbox or use Slimbox instead????
I think your best bet would be to do something like the information sidebox:
in includes/modules/sideboxes/YOUR_template/links_box.php
put something like:
$links[] = <a href="http://babygiftbasketsplace.com/store/birth-announcements.htm">' . BOX_INFORMATION_LINKS_CATEGORY1 . '</a>';
Do this for each of your pages
------------
Then in includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_links_select.php
You'd have to alter/edit it so you'd have something like
$content .= "\n" . '<ul style="margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style-type: none;">' . "\n";
for ($i=0; $i<sizeof($links); $i++) {
$content .= '<li>' . $links[$i] . '</li>' . "\n";
}
$content .= '</ul>' . "\n";
You'll lose the scrollbox however.

You might want to check the support thread(s) for lightbox and Slimbox.
Ok, thanks Clyde.Quote:

Dang, I was hoping to keep the scrollbox. I can do it otherwise, just wanted the nice effect :D
[QUOTE=Doodlebuckets;675576]Instead of using the inline styling for the ul declaration you could add an ID to your stylesheet.css and do your styling by adding a border and a background color.Quote:

You can see an example of this styling here Its for the information sidebox (scroll down until you come to the information box) but the technique would apply to your links box.
Thanks, Clyde...I'll give it a go!
hi Clyde, for my links page and links_submit page, i'd like to show the links sidebox and my two blank sidebox only, i don't need the other sidebox, how do i get this?
Use the same type of conditional statement(s) I provided to you in the other sideboxes.Quote:

Hello Clyde
I just installed your module but don't know how all the links are not found into the category they were submitted. When I click a category I can only see the following message:
---------------------------------------------------------------
This content is located in the file at: /languages/english/html_includes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/define_links.php
You can quickly edit this content via Admin->Tools->Define Pages Editor, and select define_links from the pulldown.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
..and no links there. You can test the error here: http://www.mybestcanvas.info
Click on the "painters" category. There should be 2 links ....but can't find them...even I make sure they are active.
Can you help me please?
Thanks
Here's a fix for this issue.Quote:

I was settled promlem(2) when I checked in Notify Contact box.
the detail of the problem(1) is
Warning message shown Link Check Result: Error Reading URL when I put check link button on admin/tohers/links
Also A link is not put on the link title on links page(shop)
I add my URL address under signature as website
(Most of all is Japanese text...)
Hi Clyde-san,
Sorry Again!!
I thought that a link was certainly put on a title name.
Now I understood that a link was put to the image.
What time will U.S.A. be now? I disturbed you.
However I am very glad to be able to use this splendid module from today.
TKS:clap:

Hi Clyde,
Just installed this on my site and really liking it!
Just a quickie tho, is there a was of having a categorie within another category? From what i can see the categories are single level only? Without looking through the code im not sure if this is an easy thing to do, any ideas?
Many thanks for the Mod! Lovely!
Cheers
Paul :bigups:
As things are now, Links Manager will only handle single level categories.Quote:

were the links entered from the Zen Cart admin panel (admin -> extras -> links) or were they submited by users from the links submit page?Quote:

From looking at the source for the links page, it looks like you have a lot of short lines (ie. someone must have entered line breaks after each line of text.) This is making the text go down the page instead of across.Quote:

The only way to fix whats already stored in the database would be to use phpmyadmin and edit the individual links descriptions and remove the breaks.
I just looked at one I know I added yesterday or the day before and its showing the sameway but it not any line breaks in there. category Jewelry, Bracelets | Charm Bracelet | Handmade Beaded Jewelry, the last link.
This may help if you enter the links from the admin panel.Quote:

}
} else {
echo zen_draw_textarea_field('links_description', 'soft', 40, 5, $lInfo->links_description) . TEXT_FIELD_REQUIRED;
}
?></td>
I don't understand why some of the textarea is so narrow they are notall the same size the same size, also now my title is not the click link the image is. I change the 40 to 50 and widen my site. some are coming out ok after I change them and some are not.

Without actually seeing how the links are stored in the database I can't give you an answer to the other issue other than what I've already said.
