Hi Clyde,
On the links page.

[scottcom]

Can anyone help with this problem?

The Links Manager 3 script appears to be installed and working except:

These do not show up at all under admin/extras, so I can't add categories, edit or even approve links.

Admin -> Extras -> Links (allows creating & editing of links)
Admin -> Extras -> Link Categories (allows creating & editing of categories)
Admin -> Extras -> Links Contact (allows the sending of e-mails)

All that shows is the default Zen Cart options.

admin -> configuration -> links manager -> Length of Link Categories Name

Try setting this to either 15 or 17 and see if that helps.

I took over to zen carts that both had older link manager versions installed.

I re-installed zen and the latest link manager, and the images that the client had for the links are not displaying in one of the carts (and in the admin area, the image doesn't display because it wants to find the image in a local path.

If I am not clear enough above - let me state again, ALL the images come from external paths, and are not on the site. The client does not have others submit links, he puts them in himself.

Any idea why the images don't display? I looked at the links manager configuration and set the display images to 2. That works on one site, not the other.

The new version of Links Manager allows uploading of "Banner" images to a designated images directory (by default images/links_image). If no "Banner" image is uploaded then a default image is used.

To add images (or convert from an older version of Links Manager) the images need to be located in the images/links_image directory. Then in Admin -> extras -> links You can edit the links and in the image URL: field add the following:

links_image/YOUR_IMAGE.*** or links_image/links_default.jpg

If the images are from an external link Then You will most likely have to get the images and and upload them to images/links_image and edit the links as explained above.

Hello,

I am new to Zen cart and am trying to install the link manager add on. When I past the code into the query filed and press send I receive the following error msg - Precondition Failed
The precondition on the request for the URL /store/admin/sqlpatch.php evaluated to false.

Since this is my first attempt at an add on I am sure that I am doing something crazy here, but would appreciate guidance.

Thank you,
Jennifer

This is the first time I've come across this error. It is most likely connected with mod_security settings.

You'll have to check with your hosting company because essentially your web server thinks your browser didn't send something it should have.
