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

Clyde,
Tried your suggestion and it didn't make any difference. Could it be that it didn't work because the images are remotely hosted and not contained on my installation where the GD can process them?

That could very well be the reason.

I've used the above work around on ZC 1.3.7 and this Mod. It works great if you don't mind not being able to count clicks, which I don't care about. My links are direct and work well.

I'll be implementing the ability to show the graphics for the links in a day or so, although I'm not sure that the graphics are of any importance to a search engine at all, and I think that will just about do all I need with links. They are only a small part of the equation anyway. The first thing is to have great products at a fair price. I will probably always link to more companies than I have reciprocals, but I can't control all of the other systems and the latest link system and it's requirements that comes along.

Thanks again for this mod and your support.:bigups:

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.

Hi Clyde,

The fix is the answer to this! This is a must and I suggest you add it to the next update. I installed it at a client site and it is great. Still need to do some testing but now Arelis can find the links. Great Job. :clap:

Do you have a link to the site where you've implemented this fix?

Hi Clyde,

I've implemented this fix on my site and it works great. I just had to make sure that the Click Count settings were disabled in my admin for it to work.

Here is the url of my links page if you want to see the direct URLs:
http://frangadesigns.com/index.php?main_page=links

Cheers,
Aubrey

and the "main_page=links&lPath=7" doesn't effect the direct URL.

http://www.alicesturzinger.com/index...ain_page=links

I have my page listed and if you hover over my link, you see it points to www.artwax.com . I believe this is all what the fix did?! Right? Now it seems that my Arelis can check the link back to my own site. If somebody can test this with another link exchange program. Please do so.

I noticed the link submit email is not formatted right.

Here is what I got by email:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Daniel SpiessWe welcome to Alice Sturzinger link exchange program

Your link has been successfully submitted at Alice Sturzinger. It will be
added to our listing as soon as we approve it. You will receive an email
about the status of your submittal. If you have not received it within the
next 48 hours, please contact us before submitting your link again.For help
with our link exchange program, please email the store-owner:
[email protected]: This email address was given to us
during a link submittal. If you have a problem, please send an email to
[email protected].

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It seems the "br /" and some spaces are not working.

Is this because I have text email as standard setting?

I checked the code in links_submit.php and it looks good to me?! Why are the line brakes not working?

part of the code with some br:

define('SUBMIT_RULE', '<p>Please choose the most appropriate category for your link. <strong>' . STORE_NAME . '</strong> reserves the right to change the category or edit your description, if needed.</p>');
define('LINKS_SUCCESS', 'Your link has been successfully submitted! It will be added to our listing as soon as we approve it.<br>You will receive an email confirming your submittal. If you have not received it within the hour, please <a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US) . '">contact us</a>. Also, you will receive an email as soon as your link is approved.');
define('TEXT_MAIN', 'Please fill out the following form to submit your website.');
define('EMAIL_SUBJECT', 'Welcome to ' . STORE_NAME . ' link exchange.');
define('EMAIL_GREET_NONE', 'Dear %s <br/>');
define('EMAIL_WELCOME', 'We welcome you to <b>' . STORE_NAME . '</b> link exchange program.<br />');

I'm working on an update to links manager (which will include the direct link fix.) So I'll check into the e-mail as well.
