Great work Clyde! :)

However, I've found a few problems when running under php 5.2.0.

I was receiving the following error messages when trying to add link categories from the admin.

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in D:\server\xampp\htdocs\beyondeuphoria\748596\link_categories.php on line 110

Warning: reset() [function.reset]: Passed variable is not an array or object in D:\server\xampp\htdocs\beyondeuphoria\748596\includes\classes\object_info.php on line 29

Warning: Variable passed to each() is not an array or object in D:\server\xampp\htdocs\beyondeuphoria\748596\includes\classes\object_info.php on line 30

A little query to Google lead me to this thread...

http://drupal.org/node/90345

So I hacked your code a little (with only a rough idea of what I was doing) and came up with this edit to admin/link_categories.php. I simply replaced the code on line 109 with the following...

// bof php5 fix - aclarke - 281206
$cInfo_array = array_merge((array)$link_categories->fields, (array)$links_count->fields);
// eof php5 fix - aclarke - 281206

I've also noticed two more errors (which I am attempting to fix at the moment).

1 - If no links categories exist and you view the links page (from your shop/catalog - not admin) the following error message is displayed.

Fatal error: Class 'infoBox' not found in path\to\zencart\includes\templates\custom\templates\tpl_links_default.php on line 61

2 - When trying to add links from admin this error message was displayed.

Catchable fatal error: Object of class queryFactoryResult could not be converted to string in path\to\zencart\admin\includes\functions\html_output.php on line 333

Without fixing these errors (mainly number 2) I am unable to add any links!

Anyway... as previously mentioned I'm working on a fix for these.

Thanks again for creating a great contribution and I'll post back with my solutions/results asap.

:)

Alex,

Thanks for the update.

I'll incorporate your php5 fix and do an upgrade.

I'm not sure about the other errors. mainly because if no categories exist then the link sidebox won't appear at all (or it shouldn't) and technically you wouldn't be able to navigate to the links page. You can if you type the url into the browser navigation bar.

to correct this just change line 61 in tpl_links_default.php to

<?php echo TEXT_NO_CATEGORIES; ?>

I'll check the other error and see if I can find a fix.

[clydejones]

Alex,

Try as I might, I was unable to duplicate your #2 error when adding links from Admin.

[Alex Clarke]

Thanks for the quick reply.

The 'line 61 in tpl_links_default.php' fix worked great. I'm not using the links sidebox and infact link to the links page using a standard hyperlink (located in the footer of my site).

Maybe it would be helpful to others to include this 'fix' in the next release?

As for the other error (number 2) I'm using php 5.2.0 and I don't think (not tried yet) this error will occur with earlier versions of php.

If I get a moment I'll test it out and post my results.

Thanks again for your hard work with this contribution. :)

This should help:

Just unzip the file, make sure to change the YOUR_TEMPLATE folders to match the name of your custom template (classic)

upload the entire includes folder to your server.
