Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

[oxicottin]

First I would like to thank you for making this module! Now to my problem. I go into my admin/extras and I have 3 links
1) BOX_LINKS
2) BOX_LINK_CATAGORIES
3) BOX_LINK_CONTACT

When I click to see what they are im getting a 404 error "Page not found"

Im confused on where in the admin is all the items I can insert links or whatever and what exactly does link manager do...

Thanks!

Wow, I feel stupid! I dont know how I missed a few of those! Anyways it works now Do you know of a banner manager module or can I incorperate something like that into your links manager? If I can then how would it be done?

Thanks!

Open admin -> extras -> links

There is an option for including an image for the link:
"image URL"
You can use that to include a "banner" for the link.

Clyde, How would I go about adding a section in the area you fill out for submitting a link? I want an area that asks for the link to the persons banner just like and right under the Reciprocal Page Details section.

Thanks!

Hi Clyde,
I'm going to pester you again! I'm still trying to get my Link Manager to work properly. It's now displaying like it should, but I can't actually ADD any links.

I have tried going into Admin - Extras - Links and adding them myself from there. It appears to take all of the information, but when I test the link, I get a message "error reading URL". The status button is yellow. I know the URL is correct, because I copied & pasted it right into my browser and it brings up the page I'm trying to do a link for.

I have also attempted to use the "Submit Link" button from the web site. When doing so, there was a large red box at the very top of the page & is said something like "error writing to destination". There were emails saying the link was submitted successfully and when I clicked to notify, that email came through. However, the link still doesn't display.

Any ideas?? The site is: www.kings-kreations.com

Thanks!!
Mindy

The yellow button means that the status of the link(s) is pending. links need to have a status of approved before they show up. You can do this either by clicking the green button or you can edit the link and set the status from the dropdown at the bottom of the page.

OK, got it activated & it's showing & linking correctly now, but the image isn't showing up. The size is 150 x 30.
