:D I've been working on my first Zen Cart for awhile, and I thinks it's got some great advantages over some of the other flavors I've dealt with.

One of the advantages has turned out to be support from people like you. You quote the original message so others can figure out which question you're answering, you are very patient (I've read the last 20 pages or so), and your level of support with custom fix packages is unheard of.

Reading all the questions and answers has taught me several techniques and provided me with a better understanding of the architecture of this cart.

Oh, yeah, I got it working fairly well, right away, and your latest v3.1.3 filled in the rough spots. Thanks again!

Make sure you've changed ALL YOUR_TEMPLATE folders to match the name of your custom template.

There are two located in includes/modules
includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE
includes/modules/sideboxes/YOUR_TEMPLATE

Again I figured it out.:blush:

My bad. I didn't rename ALL of the folders.

Glad you got it working

I got another question. Check out my web site at www.admcompany.org

You will notice that the links title in the box says
BOX_HEADING_LINK_CATEGORIES

and it runs out of the box. Any ideas on what I can do? Thanks again

Once again!

Check includes/languages/english for additional YOUR_TEMPLATE folders.

includes/languages/english/extra_definitions
includes/languages/english/html_includes

Once again!

Thank you so much!!

Clyde I have been scouring this thread and either I am blind or I have overlooked the answer to this.

I have a clean install of this mod on a 1.3.7 cart and all appears fine until I click on a link category and then I get this :

1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1
in:
[select count(l.links_id) as total from links_description ld, links l, links_to_link_categories l2lc where l.links_status = '2' and l.links_id = l2lc.links_id and ld.links_id = l2lc.links_id and ld.language_id = '1' and l2lc.link_categories_id = '6'order by ]

You can see it in action here :
http://www.leatherrider.com/index.php?main_page=links

Click a category and that error pops.

Is there a fix for this ?

Thanks In Advance!

Tina,

can you open includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_links_default.php

replace lines 110 and 111 (these are the lines in my copy of the file)
with the following:

Code:

---

// We show them all
    $listing_sql = "select " . $select_column_list . " l.links_id from " . TABLE_LINKS_DESCRIPTION . " ld, " . TABLE_LINKS . " l, " . TABLE_LINKS_TO_LINK_CATEGORIES . " l2lc where l.links_status = '2' and l.links_id = l2lc.links_id and ld.links_id = l2lc.links_id and ld.language_id = '" . (int)$_SESSION['languages_id'] . "' and l2lc.link_categories_id = '" . (int)$current_category_id . "'" . "order by $sortorder";

---

See if that fixes the problem

Unfortunately - this didn't solve the problem Clyde :(

Tina,

I've checked several of the sites listed in this thread as well as three of my own sites, and have not been able to reproduce this error.

There was only one other post about this that I could find HERE

But everything seems to be working on that site now (you might want to check with the author of that post to see how the issue was resolved.)

Clyde,

I just wanted to stop by and say Thank You for your hard work in creating and supporting this masterpiece! I downloaded Link Manager today and had it up and running in about 20 minutes.

Thanks again!!

Hi Clyde,

Great contribution, thanks a bunch! I've installed this mod in my test store and am experiencing one little glitch.

In /includes/languages/english/custom/links_submit.php I've defined the following:

define('NAVBAR_TITLE', 'Submit A Link');
define('NAVBAR_TITLE_1', 'Links');
define('NAVBAR_TITLE_2', 'Suggest a Website');
define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Resource Submission');

Now "Resource Submission" appears as the heading/title of all of my store pages and has replaced "Shopping Cart" and "Welcome to my Store", "Shipping & Returns", etc.

And "Submit A Link" appears in the navbar part of the page so that it becomes:

Home :: Submit A Link

This only happens with store pages like the ones mentioned above, About Us, Shopping Cart, Main Page, Page 2, Gift Certificate FAQ, etc. but not with the EZ Pages or Categories and Products pages.

Any ideas on why it might be doing this?

Thanks!

Oops, just solved my own problem from my previous post. Apparently I had accidentally uploaded a copy of the links_submit.php language file into my extra_definitions folder.

:lamo:

... in case anyone else has the problem.

Cheers.

And thanks again, Clyde, for the great contribution!

The link to the download section is at the top of forum page (called downloads).

Links manager is located in the section called sideboxes and is at the top of page 2.

Hi Clyde
I install you script and it work fine, Thank you
the only issue i'm having is that the scrip is not doing direct linking for ex:

The links does not show http://www.mypartner.com.... in the status bar.
it there a way to avoid redirect links?

Thank you

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

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

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.

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?

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:

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:

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,

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.

Great! Thank you so much!

Maybe you can help me out here, I am trying to altar the code in the links.php file so that they are direct links.

Where is says
//$links_string = zen_href_link(FILENAME_LINKS_REDIRECT, 'action=links&goto=' . $link->fields['links_id']);
return $links_string;


How would i change it to something like that below? I suck with php trying to read a book and do this is impossible.

My problem is, is that I don't know what the variables id's are What are the links names called is it links_id? Is the array name $link if so should I just take out the siteName below and switch it with links_id and for the $sites_array should i switch it with $link? Kinda confused at what it is using.


//htmlsrc .= "&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<font class=\"siteName\"><A target=_blank HREF=\"".$sites_array["site_url"]."\">"; $htmlsrc .= $sites_array["site_name"] . "</A></font>"; $htmlsrc .= "&nbsp;&nbsp;<a class=\"siteName\" ";

Use the WORK AROUND suggested in this post

There has to be a way other than manual, do you know what dew php links directory is? It is a free directory in php, well they started out as a redirect and the person there gave me code to turn them into direct links in under 2 minutes.

This would just take away so many head aches for everyone this is the reason why.

One search engines don't even count these as a link
two they can't be checked by a reciprocal link checker
three even when you do add a href inside the discription box a reciprocal checker won't find it because it is in some type of a frame that reciprocal checkers don't like.

I have tried it all and every way to get around it and nothing works.

Isn't it harder to make a redirect rether then a direct link? Instead of looping redircts how would I loop direct links?

This is my question in the first place maybe I can make it plainer to understand.

I am trying to build a function that will do what I have been talking about doing. What are the variables called so that I can build it. It is very hard for someone just to look at code and know where everything is, like what is the links name variable? What is the arrays name? If you can give me those two things I can build it myself.


Thanks

As I pointed out about 2 posts ago. The suggested Work Around is being included in an update I'm currently working on.

including the work around in includes/functions/links.php is simply a matter of copying the line of code

Code:

---

$links_string = $link->fields['links_url'];

---

and pasting it into the file where indicated(line 100), saving the file and then uploading it to the server.

As far as where the variables come from they are called from various files based on SQL statement calls to the database where the information is stored.
(i.e. $link->fields['links_url']; refers to the LINKS TABLE and the links url field that is in that table.)

Version 3.2.0 of Links Manager is now available in the downloads section

This version now incorporates the "direct Link" fix mentioned previously and a couple of "cosmetic" changes.

There appear to be some significant differences between the upgrade version and the new install version - perhaps you could spend a little time removing all the irrelevant/superseded/temporary stuff?

Puzzled? Take a look at upgrade/includes/modules/ and see the 'mystic' folder - there is no corresponding folder in the new install; similarly there is no link_listing_php in the includes/modules/ folder of the new install!!

There might be other differences, but I am now wondering which 'version' is correct - I may not be alone!

OK, I've removed the mystic folder (missed that when I was cleaning up the zip file)
Just check the files from the download and I found link_listing.php located in both the "new install" and "upgrade" located in includes/modules/ in both folders.

I've uploaded a new zip file with the mystic folder removed.

Hello, Clyde:

I installed your new Link Manager 3.2 onto my site. www.thesbeauty.com

It seems that no links show up, even the default extreme-hosting.com link. The site only shows the categories. Even when I keyed in links from the Admin, no link show up.

Can you go to my site to take a look? Or do you have a site which successfully runs the link manager, so I can go to put in a new link to see how it works. Thank you!

Lina

Lina,

I have just installed link manager on my site. You are welcome to visit http://wigroom.com and try it out. I will allow me to also test it out.

John

Hello, Clyde:

I tested the link manager on other people's website. Thank you, Johnnyc!

The problem of running link manager on my site www.thesbeauty.com are:

1. When I click the "submit link" button, it does NOT go to submit success page. Acutally it stays in the same page with all the keyed information gone.

2. When I click on different categories under "link" page, it does NOT go to next page with specific categories. It stays in the "link" page. There is no links showing under each category, including the default link in the "Zencart Development" category.

Please help me.... Thank you very much!!

Lina

The problem of running link manager on my site www.thesbeauty.com are:

1. When I click the "submit link" button, it does NOT go to submit success page. Acutally it stays in the same page with all the keyed information gone.

2. When I click on different categories under "link" page, it does NOT go to next page with specific categories. It stays in the "link" page. There is no links showing under each category, including the default link in the "Zencart Development" category.

Please help me.... Thank you very much!!

I know, I just checked your site.

I've sent you a PM

Hi Clyde,

I just exchanged links with a Oscommerce site and it looks like the person is using a OSC mod. I like the way it looks and works. The listing of the links is much better. Categories on top and if you click one of them the listing shows up below.

Have a look and maybe this is worth looking into? Maybe find out what mod it is and if it is usable for us Zenners? Just a thought....

Just check the files from the download and I found link_listing.php located in both the "new install" and "upgrade" located in includes/modules/ in both folders.

I've uploaded a new zip file with the mystic folder removed.

There were other differences. e.g. links_manager_defines.php is found in upgrades/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions - which is what I meant to identify previously!!

There is a folder (and, presumably, its contents) called redirect_links in New_install/includes/modules/pages, and one called sideboxes (and, presumably, its contents) in New_install/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE.

Of course, I might be misinterpreting the results of my WinMerge comparison, but visula inspectiuon shews these findings to be true.

Surely these differences should not exist - not criticising, you understand, just trying to help to avoid complications later on!! (Pleasse confirm actual status of these files)

One set of folders is a "NEW Installation" which for people who do not have the mod installed on their systems yet and the files and folders in that folder ARE needed.

The Upgrade is for people who have already installed a previous version and would only need the files that have changed.

That's why there are differences.

OK then, I'll shut up, but I still fail to see why links_manager_defines.php is found in upgrades/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions and not in the NEW Install.

Surely if it's needed in the upgrade, it's needed in the NEW install? Or will those with NEW Install end up with a different configuration from those who are upgrading?

If so, I suggest that you are making a cumbersome rod for your own back, but, hey, you're the author!!

Right. you can put all your tool links in the tools category.

Hi Clyde,

I run a bilingual shop (English and Chinese) and would love to install your mod instead of hand coding all the links. Does this mod support more than 1 language?

Thanks in advance !

It should - the code looks for the "session language id"

I think a couple of other people use multiple languages.

Thanks Clyde, I'll try it out :)

Hate to be a bother but I only found one mention in the 20 some forum pages I went through of the php5 error:
Catchable fatal error: Object of class queryFactoryResult could not be converted to string in..htmlouput

The post said to change the htmloutput file this way.

// bof php5 fix - aclarke - 301206
if (empty($default) && isset($GLOBALS['$name'])) $default = stripslashes($GLOBALS['$name']);
// eof php5 fix - aclarke - 301206

I really don't want to change that file as it's liable to overwritten with a subsequent zencart upgrade. Has anyone else come up with a permanent solution to this problem?

Not only that but the line to be changed is not 333 in the most recent version of zencart.

By the way I've added the image url to the cart submit page - I'll post the changed code if asked to. Kind of curious why that wasn't on there in the first place.

Oh, and thanks for the contribution - it's people like you that makes my job easier!

I'm guessing but maybe a lot of people were/are still using php4+ and the issue never presented itself. Or, people just used the fix and never said anything.

and Yes, in version 1.3.7.1 in admin/includes/functions/html_output.php line 333 reads

Code:

---

if (empty($default) && isset($GLOBALS[$name])) $default = stripslashes($GLOBALS[$name]);

---

You can always do what I do and make a backup of the original file and a backup of the changed file. The admin section of ZC is due for a complete overhaul anyway and I'm sure the devs will make sure this fix is included.

Glad to be of help

clunk! That was the sound of my idiot head hitting the desk. Was worrying about changing the html_output file in the cart - not admin! Thanks again!

one other question that might have been mentioned before. If so, my apologies!

What to do about the emails not having line breaks? I tried some changes to the header page but this is what I'm still getting on my server:

Dear deliaWe welcome to GreetingCookie.com link exchange program.

added to our listing as soon as we approve it. You will receive an email

This is (I think) a plain text vs. html issue. The html emails appear to be formated correctly but the plain text emails appear as you have indicated.

I've used other e-mail code (i.e. the welcome e-mail and others) as the basis for the email code in the mod and continue to work at getting both the plain text and html versions to look the same.

so anyone who isn't logged in and adds a link will get the text email with the resulting lack of breaks but if they are logged and and accept email, they'll get an html email that looks right.

That's okay with me and hopefully my client won't notice or won't care!

Actually, I've been working on a fix for the past hour or so.

Try this and see if it helps. As always, unzip the file, rename the YOUR_TEMPLATE folder to match your custom folder name then just upload the entire includes folder to your server.

Attachment 2410

yup that fixed it. Should have been able to do it myself but handling 3 shopping carts at one time tends to be a bit confusing in one afternoon!

Thanks again!

Thanks Clyde, that did it part of it, the email sent when the link approved or disabled is still not formated.

Which files need to be altered to do that?

Hello Clyde,

I have had this happen before, I know it doesn't happen to everybody. I had upgraded to the last version, and get a division by zero error:-

http://www.thegemtree.com/index.php?main_page=links

Last time I got it, I installed from scratch instead of using upgrade. I have a lot of links already, so I wondered if there was a way around it?

Thanksfully,

Heathenmagic

line 37 in tpl_links_default.php is

Code:

---

$width = (int)(100 / MAX_LINK_CATEGORIES_ROW) . '%';

---

Check
admin -> configuration -> links manager and see what the setting for Number of Link Categories Per Row is. it shouldn't be 0

Hello there Clyde,

I tried the SQL through PHPadmin on the host, and after adding prefix, the problem goes away, and the config shows up.

I upload SQL through Zencart, but with links manager, it seems to go awry now and then. lol

But no matter, I will put it through the host end, it must be a clash of mods or something.

Sincerely,

Heathenagic :smile:

Hello there,

Sorry its me again! lol. Just wondered, if the links box is active, is there any css code to align it. I looked through the pages but couldn't see any post about the link box. I have it on my website at the minute, left hand side.

you can add this to your stylesheet.css

#linksboxContent {
text-align: center;
}

Hello Clyde,

I have put that entry in. It doesn't seem to change the alignment yet. I have put it at the bottom of stylesheet.css, is that a good place for it?

Thanks,

Open admin -> tools -> define pages editor

select the links submit entry and edit the page to include whatever information you wish.

You can also edit the same page manually if you so desire.
open includes/languages/english/html_includes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/define_links_submit.php and edit as you wish.

If you do not require or want a reciprocal link you can turn that option off in admin -> configuration -> links manager

I'm using zencart 1.3.7.1 and links manager 3.2.2. I have two problems with the link manager. First in the admin section. I get the followin error when trying to add a link:

Status:
Catchable fatal error: Object of class queryFactoryResult could not be converted to string in http://www.mysite.com/admin/includes/functions/html_output.php on line 333

My other problem is on the actual website. The "send now" button does not show neither does the pop up help button.

I had no problems with previous contributions and older versions of zencart before. I really think this is a great addon.

I will appreciate any help on this.

Thanks

URL for your site?

My website is installed on a network server, I'm testing everything before I upload it. I like testing everything before I publish. This is actually the only problem I'm running into.

I never had problems with previous contributions before on my server.

Thanks

thanks Clyde

I knew I was just missing something,
thats just what i was looking for

Sounds like you're missing a couple of definition files

Make sure you've changed ALL instances of the YOUR_TEMPLATE folder to match the name of your custom template

Here's a fix for those with PHP 5+ on their servers and who encounter the following error when adding links from the admin panel:

Quote:

---

Status:
Catchable fatal error: Object of class queryFactoryResult could not be converted to string in http://www.mysite.com/admin/includes...tml_output.php on line 333

open admin/links.php and locate the following line of code: around line 509

Code:

---

echo zen_draw_pull_down_menu('links_status', $link_statuses, $lInfo->links_status);

---

and replace with the following:

Code:

---

echo zen_draw_pull_down_menu('links_status', $link_statuses, $links_status);

---

I'll include this fix in an update and post in the downloads section

That did it, thanks. No more errors. I did however, checked that I uploaded all the files correctly, I even downloaded a complete new zip file, but still can't show the "send now button" or the pop up help button. Any other suggestions.

By the way, I want to thank you for your time helping me out.
