Link Mngr-Can I change View All categories set-up!

[Lainee]

I installed the links managesr successfully and set up my categories with images. When on my home page http://chic-perfumefragrance.com you see a link for "View All Chic Sites". When you click on it it takes me to a Links Categories page. The categories show up 3 across in rows. I would like each of the categories to stack one on top of the other in the center of the page. As you can see I used rather large images and they are way to close together and look like one big image instead of 3 separate ones. Anyone know how I can get the categories to stack one on top of the other down the center of the page?

I'll have to write a specific fix for this issue. Should take a couple of days to complete and post here for you.

OK, here's a fix that should get the look you want.

As always, unzip the file.

first open the links_fix.sql file and copy the contents.

open admin -> tools -> install sql patches.

past the contents of the sql file into the text box and click the send button.

Change the YOUR_TEMPLATE folder to match the name of your custom template

Now upload the entire includes folder to your server.

Thanks for the fast and individualized service. Unfortunately, the fix didn't work. Had no effect at all, neither good or bad.

Open includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/tpl_links_default.php

find this line of code: (should be around line 45)

<div class="linkstext back">

Delete the highlighted portion. save the file and upload to your server.

See if that fixes the problem

That worked. Thanks so much! It looks better already. Now if I could just put a little space between the page title and each link it would be perfect. Any fix for that?

Sure,

open links.css and add the highlighted portions

.linkstext{text-align:center;font-size:1em; padding: 10px 0;}
#ezPageDefault h1 {padding: 10px 0;}

You can always adjust the padding to suit your needs.
