As I've pointed out several times throughout this thread, Direct Linking is not possible at this time.

Re: Link Manager 3.0 release

How major of a rewrite would it be to modify how the links are displayed? I would like them to look similar to the way pruduct listings appear. This is for the links image to be displayed on the left and then the link title on the first line and the link description under the title and of course the click count to the far right. My first though is that this is all in the links css but since I have only had this installed for a day and still playing with it I didn't want to break it (yet).

You'd have to re-write includes/modules/link_listing.php and then modify links.css.

Ok, since my php is minimal at best then then that will have to wait, but what does it take for the picture to be displayed with the link? It's part of the submission and I see references to it in the link_listing.php but on my listing there is nothing displayed.

open includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/links.php

add the following statements:

define('LINKS_IMAGE_WIDTH', '120');
define('LINKS_IMAGE_HEIGHT', '30');

The highlighted portions can be adjusted to your desired width and height.

save the file and upload to your server

Thanks Clyde. That brought the images right in. Tried to just use the one define though and have the other one empty, null or 0 and let it scale the image but that didn't work too well. Had to put numbers in for both defines. Guess I'll have to amend the help page and specify the size of the submitted image.

Still playing with the formatting as well but haven't put much into that yet.

Thanks again!

Another option for the image width and height would be to use the default "SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH and SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT" That way if you do have calculate image size set to true the images will scale.

If you want to try this; open includes/modules/link_listing.php

find the following line of code (at around line 93)

Code:

$lc_text = '<a href="' . zen_get_links_url($listing_query->fields['links_id']) . '" target="_blank">' . zen_links_image($listing_query->fields['links_image_url'], $listing_query->fields['links_title'], LINKS_IMAGE_WIDTH, LINKS_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '</a><br /><a href="' . zen_get_links_url($listing_query->fields['links_id']) . '" target="_blank">' . $listing_query->fields['links_title'] . '</a>';

replace LINKS_IMAGE_WIDTH with SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH
replace LINKS_IMAGE_HEIGHT with SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT

save the file and upload to your server

Re: Link Manager 3.0 release

This thread is growing rapidly and I know this has come up before but I feel I need to ask and make this 100% clear for everybody interested in this mod.

Can link exchange programs (like Arelis, the one I use) that have the ability to check reciprocal links automatically, find the links on the generated pages of this mod?

If yes, GREAT this is the mod we have been waiting for.

If no, sorry but then it is not much good at all! Everybody serious about exchanging links will use a program or service to verify that the back link is there and will re check from time to time. This just can't be done manually with 100's of links. IF link partners can't find the links, they will remove you fast! This is not what anybody wants. After all we want to build links partners and not loose them. Right?

See this post and any of the several others I've answered throughout this thread on this issue.

There is a work around that some have found helpful.

If you are looking for a single page solution where you can list your links you could try this MOD.
However, there is no interface to allow users/admins to submit their links. You will have to do everything manually.
