I have put it back to the desired category but it does not show up.

Try this and see if it makes a difference:

just unzip the file and upload the entire admin folder to your server.

I uploaded the file into the admin folder. But nothing has changed. I still can't add and show a link.

Is there a way to set the number of links to be listed per page? I would like to limit it to 5 or so per page to decrease load time.

Thanks!!!

it is set up to display the maximum number of results which is set in

admin -> configuration -> maximum values -> Search Results Per Page

The default value for this setting in Zen Cart is 20.

To make the change you are looking for would require modifying the configuration settings in admin -> configuration -> links manager as well as rewriting several lines of code in the links manager files.

Thanks Clyde - No need to do anything drastic such as rewriting, this piece of advice did the trick: admin -> configuration -> maximum values -> Search Results Per Page

Clyde, I have modified this mod to be used to upload recipes. No images are necessary for the recipes, so can you tell me how to turn off the message stack error "Warning: no file uploaded"? See here http://www.ncwheatmontanacoop.com/or...e=links_submit
I got rid of the default banner message but can't figure out how to get rid of the other one.

Also, is there a way for the recipes to keep their formatting without me having to go into the admin and format it with HTML? It's all coming out one big blob of text with no line breaks. Our recipe submitters don't all know HTML.

Thanks!

Amy,

I'm not sure which files you've modified (and/or whether you changed the names of the files) but I can give you a general outline of what you need to do based on the original Link Manager file names and locations.

first you'll need to modify includes/modules/pages/links_submit/header_php.php

at about line 14 delete/comment out the following line of code:

 require(DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'upload.php');

Next delete the folllowing section of code beginning at around line 81 - 98

// BOF Upload an image when form field is filled in by user		 
       if ($links_image = new upload('links_image_url')) {
          $links_image->set_destination(DIR_WS_IMAGES . LINK_IMAGE_DIRECTORY);
          if ($links_image->parse() && $links_image->save()) {
            $links_image_name = LINK_IMAGE_DIRECTORY . $links_image->filename;
          }
           if ($links_image->filename != '') {
            $db->Execute("update " . TABLE_LINKS . "
                          set links_image_url = '" . $links_image_name . "'
                          where links_id = '" . (int)$links_id . "'");
		  }else { // Use default image if form field is left blank
		             $links_image_name = LINK_IMAGE_DIRECTORY . DEFAULT_LINK_IMAGE;
             $db->Execute("update " . TABLE_LINKS . "
                         set links_image_url = '" . $links_image_name . "'
                          where links_id = '" . (int)$links_id . "'");
				$messageStack->add_session('header', WARNING_DEFAULT_FILE_UPLOADED, 'success');			  
           }
		}

save the file and upload to your server.

Next open includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/link_listing.php

Find the following section of code at around line 73 - 76

           if (DISPLAY_LINK_DESCRIPTION_AS_LINK == 'true') {
            $lc_text = '<a href="' . zen_get_links_url($listing_query->fields['links_id']) . '" target="_blank">' . $listing_query->fields['links_title'] . '</a><br /><a href="' . zen_get_links_url($listing_query->fields['links_id']) . '" target="_blank">' . $listing_query->fields['links_description'] . '</a>';
             } else {
           $lc_text = '<a href="' . zen_get_links_url($listing_query->fields['links_id']) . '" target="_blank">' . $listing_query->fields['links_title'] . '</a><br />' . $listing_query->fields['links_description']; }

replace this section with the following code:

           if (DISPLAY_LINK_DESCRIPTION_AS_LINK == 'true') {
            $lc_text = '<a href="' . zen_get_links_url($listing_query->fields['links_id']) . '" target="_blank">' . $listing_query->fields['links_title'] . '</a><br /><a href="' . zen_get_links_url($listing_query->fields['links_id']) . '" target="_blank">' . nl2br($listing_query->fields['links_description']) . '</a>';
             } else {
           $lc_text = '<a href="' . zen_get_links_url($listing_query->fields['links_id']) . '" target="_blank">' . $listing_query->fields['links_title'] . '</a><br />' . nl2br($listing_query->fields['links_description']); }

Save the file and upload to your server.

Let me know if you need additional assistance.

Clyde, I did not change any file name! I didn't want to work that hard and I probably would have broken it! Your fix worked perfectly. I am going to tinker with the display page and see if I can get it to look like I need it to. I'll let you know if I booger any thing up or need some help :o) Thanks! Your influence is far and wide

By display page I'm guessing you mean the page with the categories/images

I'd suggest that you make the images all the same size height x width (i.e. the default for links manager for category images is 80 x 80) doin this will insure that all the images line up correctly and you shouldn't get the gaps that are showing up now.

Just a suggestion.
