Thanks, I found the fix for the link. It's just that some of the textarea where you put the link Description is real small and some are ok.

Thanks, I found the fix for the link. It's just that some of the textarea where you put the link Description is real small and some are ok.
You can have a look here. These links were all done using the submit forms (that you are using) from both the admin panel and the submit links page.Quote:

Thanks again Clyde, What I had to do was put each link description in again through the admin. I see your links listing back button takes you back to the category listing when clicked on. mine takes me back to the home page in all my sites. How can I fix that. I'm sorry to keep bothering you. I just changed this site over from OSC a while back and I am still working on it, I had to start it over from scratch.
Check here for a fix to the back button issueQuote:

By default there should be one link already installed with the mod.
Did you run the install_links_manager.sql
Yest to all 3. Went through all the threads for clues still no go.
I am also having trouble with the "template override system". It is NOT very user friendly and confusing until you gain a lot fo experience with it.
I named my override directory a word like "mytemplate". Just exactly how does ZenCart recognize that name?
mytemplate is fine for your override directory.Quote:

Still no go
Only entry there is the Classic Comtemporary Green

$template_screenshot = '';
//EOF
Still no go.
I do not have the whole override system set up correctly. Something is missing. I get so friggin frustrated with the override sysem that I give up and edit the core files directly. It just is not user friendly enough and no documentation that explains it in detail enough for new people to understand it.
I do visual basic, delphi, and C++ programming and I do not understand the logic of the override system at all yet.
When I do what you suggested, I get nothing but a blank screen when I follow your suggestion to edit the template_info.php file and then reset everything. The reset button also turns sideboxes back on that I had turned off.
I don't know if this will help, but here is a quick overview of how the override system should be set up.Quote:

Any files that you edit should then be saved into your custom directory.
Within the includes/templates/mytemplate you should have the following directories
includes/templates/mytemplate/template_info.php
includes/templates/mytemplate/common
includes/templates/mytemplate/css
includes/templates/mytemplate/images
includes/templates/mytemplate/templates
You can copy the changes you made in the includes/templates/classic into the appropriate directories in your custom directory
I got all that. BUT...Quote:

In addition, when I try to activate the links box at higher sort order than anything these, the links box plus what ever has a higher value in the sort order does not show. If I set the sort order to zero, nothing shows up. If I do that in the left column, the whole page is empty.
It's almost as if I need to start from the beginning with a clean installation of Zen-Cart, but that is an enourmous amount of work and would cause loss of all modifications I made so far.
We're getting really off topic now. If you'd like additional help with setting up your custom directory send me a PMQuote:

When I install the links manager on a clean installation with the custom template overrides correctly installed according to the Zen-Cart manual I paid for, and according to your hints, everything now works perfectly.
What I have to do now, is complete the third party installations I want to run on the new "clean" installation and then upload the data from the old database to the new one.
I assume I am going to also have to run all the SQLs after I copy the data from the old database over into the new database?
Apologies for voicing my frustrations. Hints for others, if you don't have the overrides correct in the beginning, it can have a domino effect on future third party installations you attempt to install. Anyway, all is well now, and I figured it out finally.
Glad you got it sortedQuote:

Getting this bugger of an error agian:
Catchable fatal error: Object of class queryFactoryResult could not be converted to string in /home5/dmsoftwy/public_html/admin/includes/functions/html_output.php on line 333
I uploaded the html_output.php files to admin and store directories as you indicated and reset my boxes. No go. Now what do I do?
Just additional info on the above. I had never attempted to add a link.Quote:

Check this Post (notice that there are two zip files involved one of them is for the admin)Quote:

I am positive they are going to the right directories, but still no go in the admin panel.Quote:

In the storefront, everything is working fine.
In admin, I can do everything other than manually insert a link.
clydejones this may sound stupid but does links_manager make it's own [FONT=Verdana]Reciprocal Page for the ones who want to trade links with you, or after you make your link categories does it makes a [/FONT][FONT=Verdana]Reciprocal link for them. I'm just trying to figure out how this works. Or do I have to make a page for the [/FONT][FONT=Verdana]Reciprocal[/FONT][FONT=Verdana]. Also do I need to make banners. I just need some steering. Thank you for your help[/FONT][FONT=Verdana][/FONT]
Short answer, Yes, it will place your link on a page based on which category you've placed the link in.Quote:

No you don't need to make a banner unless you want to.
Thank you for explaining this to me. I have wondered about this a while. I have one more question for you. There is nothing to configure under admin/configuration/links manger nothing shows at all but the update button. How do I get the information to display the configuration for link manger. Under admin/extras there are links, link category, links contact everything is there like it is suppose to be. Thank you again.

Hello everyone,
I am sorry for posting this, but I have searched (well tried to considering there are over 130 pages of posts) I have a modified version of the cherry_zen template.
I have installed this mod on my site and it seems to be working great but for some reason the description area is too small. it makes the area very tall and skinny. I am sure there is a very easy way to make a change to this but for the life of me I cannot find it.
any help would greatly be appreciated.
the site can be found at http://www.gottoys.biz (please be warned that this is a site that sales adult novelties, if you are easily offended or under 18, please do not go to the site).

I am new to zen but I thought I had a decent grasp on editing PHP and CSS pages. any help is appreciated.
Thank you
Thank you for the post

Thanks again.

If you go to my site, you can see how it looks using the settings I've indicated and the default installation of the mod.Quote:

and I am still not getting an image to show up. maybe in my trying to fix things I have made them worse. I have attached screenshot of my admin - config - linksmananger settings. I am sure it is something very simple.

OK, this is driving me crazy...
I have completely uninstalled the mod, ran the uninstall sql commands and did a complete clean install of the mod...
I get this...
http://gottoys.biz/clean.png
which works great but the only problem I have is that the title/description column is not wide enough and as you can see only puts one or two words per line.
I install the links fix patch that you sent me a few posts ago and I am now getting this...
http://gottoys.biz/fix.png
I know this is a great mod and I love it. I also know that this is really annoying to you clyde and I am sorry for all of this, but this is driving me crazy. the settings are default since the clean install in the config area.
:(
in the extras - links area I can see the images on the right that are suppose to appear but for some reason they are not showing up on the links page.
Onc eagain, thank you

You will see mine does the same as gottoys. I tried the fix you mention but that did not do it either. It just looks bad, Thanks in advance
I check ALL of your links (or at least the links you have) and I don't see that they are "strung out" they are formatted similar to the links on my site.Quote:

Tried searching the forum but not finding the answer to my question, or the correct fix, though I am sure its probably here.
I recently turned on the "Links Box - Display View All Links". When I go to: view all links I get the following menu but the links do not work. I tried using starruby_fix file that i found while searching the forums but that only made it worse so i switched back.
Ex: http://www.pepper-spray.biz/links
I installed this module probably a 1.5 to 2 years ago so im not sure of the version or even how to check that. Using version 1.3.7
Thanks for any help
You could try downloading the latest version of the mod.Quote:

I really appreciate if I can display icons from some category somewhere on my page. It would be great to display exchanged banners in footer. I don´t like to put there hard html code. Have somebody solved this problem? I´ve tried to do it by my own but I am very weak at PHP
If someone uploads a banner image when they submit a link it will display on the page where that links appears.Quote:

First of all...link manager is great! Thank you for the hard work on the mod and your support.
Zen Version: 1.3.8a
php: 5.2.5
MySQL: 5.0.67
Link Manager Version: 3-5-0
Question: I searched the forum for this and had no luck. Hopefully, I just missed it and you can point me to the proper posts.
When I add a category or link, the image does not display. In the admin --> extras --> links (or link categories) and checked the properties of the images. Here is what is shows:
http://www.qualityitemsofmontana.com...eal_estate.jpg
Obviously, it is putting in the http://www.qualityitemsofmontana.com/qiofm/
put it shouldn't.
How do I make this work?
Thank you!!!

You have two choices
1) similar to the above you only need to use (link_category/clothing.png) Again, the image need to be located on you server in images/link_category/
2) You can use the browse button to select an image from your PC and then click the save button.
Thanks for the suggestions...but it isn't working.Quote:

So, when I right click on the "image" to see the properties, it is showing the path "www.qualityitemsofmontana.com/qiofm//qiofm/images".
Why would there be two "qiofm" and two "//" instead of one? Obviously this doesn't work, but I don't know how to fix it.
The good news, is every time there is a challenge we learn more about how to fix the next one and someone else may learn too!

Thank you so much your a life saver!! :clap: One more question I might be able to figure out but can probably figure out is why some links are so squished to the left.
There might be a couple of reasons for this; the most common is that the text was copied and pasted into the description area and there were line breaks at the end of each line as you are seeing them.Quote:
