2. known issue and is being worked on.
3. by default the categories are listed by name.
This will be changed to allow listing by sort order in a future update.

Now I have wrote the tpl_link_default.php to edit the link page, see http://www.mxmach.com/links.html
3. Fixed. Many thanks for help.
Now I've got another question.
The Ultimate SEO URL Addon seems not working for links pages, as you can see the URL is like http://www.mxmach.com/links.html?lPath=2. Any idea for this? I would like to edit each page title of link catagory as well if possible.
Regards,

You're going to have to check the support thread for the ultimate seo add-onQuote:

Hi,
I'm using Link Manager v3.5.3c and ZC version 1.3.9f.
Everything works great except for the link image. I cannot get the correct directory to be accessed.
I have tried various combinations to remove the the first http address and extra information but cannot seem to remove it.
On the configuration page I have it set to "/links_image" and this is the address produced: "http://www.mystore.com/images/http://www.mystore.com/links_image/vendlogo.jpg"
The category image directory works fine and goes to the address I entered.
I know that there is something really simple I should be doing but I can't figure it out.
Please help!
Thanks
the links configuration should be links_image/Quote:

Hi Clyde - This is a detail I've been meaning to ask about for a while...
I have the links manager installed on a Zen 1.3.6 site. Everything functions fine except that the sort order setting in configuration/links manager does not seem to have any impact. As a result the first page of a specific category sorts by Oldest-Newest rather than the reverse, which is the desired setting.
Here is a link to the site in question.
Thanks!!

I didn't find the bit of code and assumed that it was because this site is running a Zen 1.3.6 it may not have yet been added. I checked the most recent version of tpl_links_default.php and found that to be the case.Quote:

if (DEFINE_SORT_ORDER == 3) $sortorder = "l.links_clicked desc";
Any suggestions, or is a total upgrade necessary?
Thanks

Upgrading to the latest version of links manager should work with your 136 version of zen cart.
How do I specify unique meta tags for each individual link page?
I can specify the same keywords for ALL my link pages with:
define('META_TAG_KEYWORDS_LINKS','links page');
but how do I make each link page unique? For example, my Children's link page ID is 20, and I'm having problems with the &lPath=20.
The following code does not change the keywords on this particular link page:
define('META_TAG_KEYWORDS_LINKS&lPath=20','childrens links');
I've tried capitalizing the LPATH=20, using & but it just isn't working. Help!
Using file: /includes/languages/english/desert_noon/meta_tags.php
You can try this: it checks for the lpath and then defines the various Meta Tags. You'll need to do this for each of your links categories.Quote:
Originally Posted by CustomBooks

if (isset($_GET['lPath']) && ($_GET['lPath'] == '20')) {
define('META_TAG_DESCRIPTION_LINKS','childrens links');
define('META_TAG_KEYWORDS_LINKS','childrens links');
define('META_TAG_TITLE_LINKS', 'childrens links');
}
Thanks, Clyde. That lets me specify unique meta tags for each link category - but is there a way to slightly alter the meta tags for each link PAGE within the category (i.e., how do I address ?main_page=links&lPath=20&page=2)?
I would like the meta tag title for the first page,
?main_page=links&lPath=20
to read something like "Childrens Links Page 1"
and the meta tag title for the second page,
?main_page=links&lPath=20&page=2
to read something like "Childrens Links Page 2"
How do I add a "Page 2" or "2" - the link page number to the meta tag?
You don't have that amount of fine tuning even on the product listing pages, so I'm not sure its even possible.Quote:

You'll have to change that directly in the database table.Quote:

I went into PHPmyadmin
I found the spot where links_title is set to varchar(64)
I just don't know what the correct setting should be. I tried changing the Length/Values but that didn't seem to change anything. Then I tried changing the varchar(64) to text. That brought up an error.
Thanks for the quick reply

That's how I tried to change it earlier.
I figured out that after making those changes to the datable, I can only input a long title through the web submission page. If I try to enter the link through the admin I can only enter 64 characters.
I don't need a fix for that, it just may be something you can fix in future versions

Hi Clyde,
I like to say your link manger 3.0 module is FANTASTIC. I have installed and it is very user friendly. I've use it for one week and my links exchange is went up to the roof. :wink:
I was just wondering and search your threads but not able to find what i'm looking for.
With your link manager categories. Is it possible to show the number of links display in each category when browsing?
It would be great if i could find an option for this.
Very much appreciated if you could help.
Thanks,
Andrew
You can check your work at my site www.accessoryworld.net.au.
on the links page it shows "displaying 1 - x (of x)"Quote:

Links manager is installed on www.crystalfloridaonline.com
Thanks in advance.
If you are talking about uploading "category images" you should be able to click the browse button when you are adding new categories and then click the save button and that should upload the image.Quote:

If you have installed the latest version of Links Manager then the category description should display.
Hi Clyde,
No, I don't mean the category image (I haven't even tried if that would work or not). I mean the logo image (150px x 30px) that comes with the link exchange request.
Please see my first test
RESULT 1
I have uploaded a 150x30 image with that request which doesn't show up on the result page.
Also, although I have typed a description text in each category those texts are not showing up in those categories
EXAMPLE 1
instead they all show messed up when clicked on "Wiew All links" under the Links Manager side box
EXAMPLE 2
For images I am guessing I have to change some permission on some folder on the server but I don't know which.
For descriptions not showing in their corresponding page I am guessing thats because there are no links yet.
Any help will be appreciated. Also do I have to check back this thread if there's anybody responded or is there a way to be notified through e-mail. Thanks in advance.
OK, please disregard links image problem in the previous quot. I solved that by changing permissions to 777 on /links_image folder. Also did that on link_category but not tested yet. Most probably that will work, too (Thank you Clyde). :clap:
No clue on EXAMPLE 1 and 2 above.
Still searching...:no:
For "result 1" - here's a screen shot that shows the displayed logo.Quote:

Hi Clyde,
Thanks heaps for your link manager 3.0 module. My links exchange is so easy to managed now. REAL COOL!.
Just wondering. in Admin links count. Its seem to be "0" all the time, even though there have been lots of clicks with the links.
I have also enable in Configuration>Links Manager>Enable Click Count to true, but it still not counting.
Beside that i enable the Display Link Click Count to 1 for browser view and it still appear "0".
Can you let me know whats missing? Or other option i've forgot.
Thanks Clyde.
Andrew
If you read through the thread, you'll see that the links count is disabled. Hopefully it will be restored in a future release.Quote:

God help a newbie with this cause Clyde is a one answer kind of guy and if you dont understand his answer he just ignores your request for additional information. I asked " Do I edit the link categories in Zen Cart or C Panel " pretty stupid question if your Clyde but if your me and dont know where to turn its a very important question. Now I have a link manager stuck on my website that I cant do nothing with.I would have never put it on there if I new there was so little support.
Thanks Clyde

For the benefit of everyone using this mod ( I don't do the answers in PMs )
Clyde Im dying here .. like pullin teeth to get an answer from you ..is my problem to hard for you to figure out ? Ok everybody look im bowing before Clyde of Oz Clyde your the man yup number one top dog big cheese hell I think you walk on water now do you think you might answer the damn question I asked 2 hours ago !!
ummm kinda 86 that last comment Clyde just :frusty: not you fault your brilliant and im a retard

working great for me, only one question, im only looking for one category of links, how hard would it be to remove the category selection from the form and have all links grouped in one pace instead of the ability to use categories? (unless im being dumb and have missed an option in config??)
thinking aloud - im guessing i have to remove the field and the verification for the required field. or am i underestimating this?
Would require significant rewriting to achieve this.Quote:

Guys. Please be aware that sadly Clyde passed away last Saturday.
In Clyde's honor, this mod has been upgraded for use with the Zen Cart 1.5 release and that will made available in the downloads area shortly.
But going forward support will need to be user to user.
Got a bit of a shock to read this RIP Clyde ..
Can someone help with the links and not finding the "Links Check Phrase" when I go there manually my phrase is there but it is not linked words just plain typing ...does it have to be linked before it will be found
Thanks
Hi. I realize Clyde's fine module is now unsupported. I apparently had previously placed this module in my cart but not completed the installation. When I uploaded the "new install" there were some files that were dated November 2011, and the new ones were dated 12/10/11.
I did figure out, by looking at other Zen Cart modules, that the 1064 error for creating tables for this module comes up due to the MySQL 5.1 specific requirement for the following to occur:
The only problem I now have is that the category title and category description appear twice. I did substitute one title with a category icon, but the second title still occurs.Quote:
replace every occurrence of
Code:
TYPE=MyISAM
with
Code:
ENGINE=MyISAM
I removed all files on my test server, while leaving the tables in MySQL from the SQL patch, but the Layout Boxes Controller tells me the link manager sidebox is missing.
I searched for some of the title language in the developer's toolbox, but found nothing, I am not sure why, because I entered the language in the link category admin screen, and it appears on the links page.
Therefore, I need another method to try to find the duplicate link category title and the duplicate category descriptions on my live site. Does anyone have any advice on how to locate the duplicates?
It looks like this:
The above appears without the line breaks--it all runs together.Quote:

Maybe I am not using the developer's toolkit correctly. I searched for catalog/admin files in both language file lookups and all file lookups.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Notageek
Well, I re-uploaded the file that was "missing" after I had done the complete deletion process and re-uploaded the module, and uploaded that file after rebooting, and was able to turn on the link manager sidebox in my WAMP test server.
However, the problem of duplicate descriptions and title remains.
The only place where that information is entered is in the admin->layout boxes controller. If I find the answer, I will post.
Notageek
Yikes. I logged into my site today in Firefox, after having turned off the links manager sidebox yesterday and lots of things are wrong. The header is gone and products are not displaying pictures.
However, it works in Internet Explorer and Chrome.
I guess I will need to do an uninstall process. My site is www.g o k a r a o k e m a c h i n e.com, if anyone cares to check. It still has visitors and seems functional. I believed I left it fully operational last night, with the link manager sidebox turned off (since the link category descriptions showed up in duplicate).
By the way, I saw on the Internet that in some cases there are duplicate showings when a site is bilingual. I'm not sure that would apply in this case, but I will keep it in mind while investigating.
Maybe I should upgrade to ZenCart 1.5 and try the 1.5 version of the link manager module. I was trying to avoid an upgrade due to severe time crunches in my schedule.
If I solve any of these glitches, I will post.

To dispell any misperception I might have engendered, the problem of Firefox not rendering images appears related solely to use of Symantec Client Security. The firewall must be told to allow all traffic from Firefox.
So that is completely unrelated to the duplicate descriptions appearing in the category screen for the Link Manager module.
Discovery of this problem was an unrelated result of examining the site from a location utilizing the Symantec firewall.

On the duplicate description problem: I checked my database tables (via PHPMyAdmin) and there were no duplicate entries in the category description for this module.
I noted that Clyde's example link did not have a description duplicate, so I checked the Links and the Links Categories to see how he entered his example link.
Clyde described his site in the Links submission page, and that description appears when the particular link is clicked on.
Clyde simply did not fill in the category description box in the Links Categories Admin page. There is only a category title. When I filled in the description box as a test , the duplicate description problem occurred.
Therefore, until a solution is discovered, it appears the category description box must be left blank.
I am wondering why this problem has not come up for any of the other posters in this over 100-page thread.

Clyde responded that, no, it is not possible.Quote:
I have links_manager_v3-5-3c and all banner images are in /images/links_image/ its posible to use my partners destination like src="http://test.com/ikon88x31.jpg" thank you for reply....
I am adding a link for a site that gave me a code snippit:
I placed this code into the image slot, and the image does appear in the Admin screen for the links, but of course, it does not show up in the cart. But the default no-banner image also does not display. What displays is the little box indicating an image should be there.Quote:
<a href="http://www.xxx.com" target="_blank">
<img src="http://www.xxx.com/images/logo.gif" alt="alt content here xxx"> </a>
Thinking through why the image appears in Admin, and someone had the ability to submit that image through the link exchange, maybe there is a manual process for taking those images from admin and putting them in the images/links-image directory. Otherwise, why would the image show up and then not be usable?
I'm not sure how to do this, but if I find the way I will post.
If the image cannot be manually inserted in the images/links-image directory, there should be instructions on the link page that people should email their images, to be manually inserted by the store.
Am I missing something obvious here?

Okay, the procedure for getting the new link's logo into the links page is as follows:
1. Admin->Links, right-click the image for the linking website.
2. Choose "save image as."
3. Save to images/links_image directory under name identifiable to the new linking site (i.e., xxx_logo.gif).
4. Back in Admin->Links->edit link screen, replace the http://www.xxx.com/logo.gif (or other off-site name) with links_image/xxx_logo.gif.
Nice work once again by Clyde. I don't know why this was so obscure and seemingly impossible to solve until I was forced to think it through. Maybe this has been explained somewhere else. I hope this helps someone.
