Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

[a_berezin]

Hi all I am getting this error when trying to check for links back to my site:

Warning: file() [function.file]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /home/xxxxx/public_html/admin/links.php on line 618

http://php.net/manual/en/function.file.php:

You can use a URL as a filename with this function if the fopen wrappers have been enabled.

a_berezin vbmenu_register("postmenu_337879", true); , Sooooooo me being non php or anything like that...have no idea what you mean...lol

You can't check for back-links be this script. Your server configuration disabled this future for you.

Thanks a_berezin vbmenu_register("postmenu_338019", true); I'll have to check with my hosting company then...:)


Thanks again!

Hi Clyde,

Thank you so much for the Links Manager contribution! I have uploaded the admin and includes directories to my host server, but I wasn't exactly sure where to upload it to. Does it just go to the root directory, or to public_html > includes > templates > my template directory?

Also, when I go to Admin>Configuration, the "Links Manager" shows up there. But when I go to Admin>Tools>Layout Boxes Controller, there isn't a box for the Links.

I'm sure I have left out some vital step, or put the files in the wrong place. Any help would be very much appreciated!

If your store is in your root directory then just upload them to the root.

If your store is in another directory then upload them to that directory.

Also, when I go to Admin>Configuration, the "Links Manager" shows up there. But when I go to Admin>Tools>Layout Boxes Controller, there isn't a box for the Links.

Make sure you've changed the YOUR_TEMPLATE folder(s) to match the name of your custom template folder.

Everything for my store is located in various folders under the public_html, so that's were I put the files.

I did change all YOUR_TEMPLATE folders to match my custom name, but it still does not show up in the Layout Boxes Controller.

I also do not see "Links" under Admin> Extras.

When I copied and pasted the text from the "Install_Links_Manager.sql" into the Tools>Install SQL Patches area, I get the following message:

29 statements processed.
ERROR: Cannot insert configuration_key "DEFINE_LINKS_STATUS" because it already exists
ERROR: Cannot insert configuration_key "DEFINE_LINKS_STATUS" because it already exists
Note: 1 statements ignored. See "upgrade_exceptions" table for additional details.
