Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

[clydejones]

Thanks a bunch. Just tested it out and it works like a charm. Image upload also had no problems.

The email that is sent when the admin approves a link is missing the status change though. This is what the email says:

Dear Test User, The status of your link at Pine Tree Candles has been
updated.New status: Please reply to this email if you have any questions.

Thanks for the additional features on the mod

I'll check on the e-mail update.

copy the images to the new images/links_image directory

now go to admin -> extras -> links

and edit each link

edit the image url field as follows:

links_image/YOUR_IMAGE.???

You can do the same thing directly in the database by using phpmyadmin

open the links table and edit the links_url field as follows:

links_image/YOUR_IMAGE.???

Another option I forgot to mention is to just go to

admin -> configuration -> links manager

set the Link Image Directory to the directory where your current images are located.

If they are located in the images directory just leave the option blank.

That said you will still need to edit the links url field with the name of your image.

well after digging around it looks like i have everybodys image URLs so i never had any pics stored. i guess this is the hotlink pics? i kmow i can type the urls in and get the pics and save to my drive then upload. when i goto edit it says image URL: under Extras>Links but i see that when you add link thru the front end it now has a browse button which i thought use to say Image URL. so is there a way to put back the URL option instaed of uploading pics? thanks

The "url" option was only available in the admin. that option is no longer available.

The browse option that is now available on the front end is for users to upload their banner images.

once a banner image is uploaded it is stored in the images/links_image folder (or whatever folder you would decide to use and set in admin -> configuration -> links manager)

If a banner image is not uploaded then a default image is used instead.

In the install and upgrade package 3.4.0,

I can't find : includes/modules/link_listing.php

It's normal ?

This file is listed in uninstall.txt

Sorry, that's a typing mistake in that file:

the file is located in
includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/link_listing.php

In previous version 3.3.2 link_listing.php was in both directories ?
includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/
includes/modules

Why it's different now ?
It was working for me in ZC 1.3.7 with includes/modules/link_listing.php.
Now with 3.4.0 it doesn't work without this in ZC 1.3.8a. : I've error 1146 instead of the sidebox.

You can copy the link_listing.php file to includes/modules

I'll check on what the problem might be.

Can you give me the URL for your site.
