Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

[clydejones]

Links manager does not use "mootools" or "jquery" nor does it reference any files used by lightbox (slimbox).

Links Manager uses its own file set and images and does not touch any of the Zen Cart core files.

Yes, will at least look into the problem.

Clyde,

Is there any chance you will at least look into the problem? Zen Lightbox has been downloaded over 32,000 times and is a favorite of among the ZC community, yet your Link Manager mod breaks it for anyone who tries to use both together. I really like your mod because it allows other affiliate link categories to be displayed on any page on their site via a sidebox. I'm trying to go the "grass roots" advertising route and your mod is a great addition to help people raise their native search engine rankings. I want to donate, but not if it breaks Lightbox.

Will you at least take a look at the incompatibility problem that has been identified by several people? We're not crazy, and the problem is repeatable and undeniable. Something is going on - a similar function name? a conflict somewhere? Hell, I've even seen where a missing semicolon can cause weirdness on this scale. I have several other sidebox mods on my site, and none of them cause the behavior Link Manager does.

All I want to know is that you're willing to take a look at the problem. I've asked Alex Clarke (the creator of Zen Lightbox) to do the same thing.

One thing to note. This incompatibility has been reported by people using early versions of Lightbox (called Slimbox) too, therefore the incompatibility may have to do with common "Mootools" files used by both??

Here's the fix;

open includes/modules/pages/popup_links_help

delete the following file:

jscript_main.php

-------

This fix will be included in the next update of Link Manager

Opened includes/modules/pages/popup_links_help and renamed jscript_main.php to jscript_main.php.bak

Then enabled Links sidebox and tested Zen Lightbox.

Result: Zen Lightbox stops working
