Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

Links Manager 3.0 is now available in the downloads section.

https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=191

This update has been revamped to remove the tables that were in the previous versions and has been updated to be compatible with Zen Cart version 1.3.6. Fixed all line break <br /> errors.

Re: Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

I installed the contribution, and have added a link to test it out, however while the box appears on the screen as I would expect it to do, the submitted link does not. I changed its status to approved, but still nothing. Any ideas?

You can see what I'm talking about at www.excellentsoaps.com

No, home Improvement is a category. There should be a link in that section and there is on the admin side but not on the main page

Re: Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

When I click on home improvement it takes me to the links page:

Links
Home Improvement

Looking through your categories sidebox, I do not see a category named "Home Improvement", I am confused??

Re: Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

Kobra,

Links Manager allows the definition of "categories" in which to put links. These "links categories" have no connection to the regular Zen Cart Categories.

Take a look at my TEST SITE for a demo.

New Subject:

An updated version 3.0.1 of Links Manager is now available in the downloads section. It takes care of the issues raised by Miles plus a couple of other bug fixes.

Also, Add the following declaration to your stylesheet.css

.linkstext {
margin: 0;
padding: 10px;
}

This will space out the links a bit.

Re: Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

kernphilip,

I'm still trying to figure out why You can get to the "link page" but can't navigate to the actual link.

I've added links both from the admin panel and the submit link page and can't reproduce the problem.

Re: Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

Thanks for the update Clyde!

Everything's fine accept for my Links Help Popup. I have a dark background color for my site and so it appears to this popup where i can't read the text because it's black in color. Id post this thread before about a month ago. I changed all other popup backgrounds color to white accept for this.

Is there any class ID's should i create to make changes for this popup? Thanks.

Re: Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

You can make the following changes:

in includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/popup_links_help/tpl_main_page.php
find the following code:

[PHP]<div class="centerColumn" id="ezPageDefault">[/PHP]

and change to:
[PHP]<div class="centerColumn" id="popupLinksHelp">[/PHP]

In your stylesheet.css add the following declaration

#popupLinksHelp {
background: #fff;
}

Re: Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

Thanks Clyde! It's fixed. I've been waiting for this issue to be solved.

Here's my popup collections:

#popupShippingEstimator, #popupSearchHelp, #popupAdditionalImage, #popupImage, #popupCVVHelp, #popupCouponHelp, #popupAtrribsQuantityPricesHelp, #infoShoppingCart, #popupLinksHelp {
    background-color: #ffffff;
    background-image: none;
    }

I have to change all of these because of the dark background color.:wink2:

Re: Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

I'm reasonable sure that I installed it correctly, and I overwrote it with 3.0.1 which fixed the submit button error but now clicking submot does not submit anything it jsut clears the page. Any ideas why?
