Emails look bad with detail smashed together. How to get extra spaces in html? I tried </div>, but did not work.

There are several posts in this thread that deal with e-mail issues. Do a search of the thread and you'll probably run across the answer.

Links Manger sounds great but I need more info before installing it on my site. If the following functions don't exist in Links Manager, can anybody suggest an alternative?

1. If I require a reciprocal link page in Admin - does the program verify the reciprocal link exists?

2. Is there a way to require link partners submit a reciprocal link to their primary domain (no third party link trades)?

3. Is there a reciprocal links checker function I can run periodically to verify my link partners are still reciprocating?

4. Is there a way to receive notification when a new link is posted to my site? Is there a way to approve the link BEFORE it is posted to my site?

5. Is there a search box to help link partners find their link on my site?

6. Does this program function within my Zen Cart template - same look and feel as my existing website? Where can I find a website with Links Manager installed so I can see it in action? I would love to see an example...

Not at the time the link is submitted

No

Yes, This is done in admin

You are notified by e-mail about new link submissions and ALL links must be approved before the are displayed on your site. Approval is done in admin.

The ZC search function searches for products not individual pages. However, There is a search add-on that will index your entire site.

Yes. You can check it out at my site (click the link in my signature)

Clyde-I installed Links Manager and it is so cool! However, I have a few questions. My site is not yet public so I will PM the exact URL to you.

I cannot change Configuration/Links Manager: Number of link categories per row. I get 3 categories per row no matter what number I enter.

How does Link Check Phrase work? Do you look at just the reciprocal page (not the entire URL) for this phrase? Would you suggest entering www.mysite.com or mysite.com or what?

Why doesn't the Category name display on my link pages?

Is there any way to NOT display the words "Title/Description" on my link pages?

How do I change my default Extras/Links Contact email address?

Extras/Links/Options: I am unable to change the Status from the pulldown menu - it just doesn't take. I CAN change Status with Extras/Links by clicking the colored dots.

Extras/Links/Options: What do I use Rating for? What does 0 signify?

I have read most of the forum, double-checked my installation, installed the latest security patch, the links manager admin fix, and the staruby fix. But obviously I am missing something...

1> I'll have to check on this.

2> links check looks for you link information on the remote site using the reciprocal link provided. The information can be either your link either www.Yourdomain.com or Yourdomain.com or the link text you provide" this is my site " .

3> if you are refering to how this is displayed on my site's link page, then this was a personal customization made specifically for me by me.

4> Not currently

5> admin -> configuration -> e-mail options
You can also just enter whatever e-mail address in that field.

6> I'll have to check on this.

7> This is very old legacy code from a really old version of the MOD. I just haven't removed it.

RE: Why doesn't the Category name display on my link pages?

"if you are refering to how this is displayed on my site's link page, then this was a personal customization made specifically for me by me."

Not really. If the category is "Website Development", shouldn't "Website Development" be listed somewhere at the top of the links page? I'm hoping to see the actual category name on it's associated links page - otherwise, it is just a page of links with no clue as to how the links relate.
