Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

[clydejones]

Hi all - I installed this excellent mod with the sidebox in my right hand column. It all seems to work fine except for the submit link form. It works but it is too wide - it pushes my right hand sidebox column over to the right by about 50 pixels or so.

Any ideas please?

EDIT: After doing some digging it is the width of the field links_image_url that is causing the problem - how do I change it?

URL for your site?

Hi All,

I have recently installed this mod on my site. I have found a problem and wondered who might be able to help me?

When I go to admin->extras->links and try to add a link, there isn't a place to submit the info. I have the form, but no submit button. In addition there is an error on the bottom of the page that reads, "Options
Status: Catchable fatal error: Object of class queryFactoryResult could not be converted to string in ..........com/admin/includes/functions/html_output.php on line 333 "

I'm not sure what to do with this error........HELP!!!

Also, is there a way to not require a reciprocal link?

This post should help

Also, is there a way to not require a reciprocal link?

admin -> configuration -> links manager

Just turn the option off

I have an issue with the way the categories are displayed in the center colum. The CSS included with the mod is correct but I can't get the output on the site to match the CSS.

I have the link manager configured to display 3 categories per row. But the output on the site is one column I even added 4 categories and still get only one column. I am not using the original css so I have changed some of the classes to match my templete but I didn't do anything to the module files so It should work fine. I integrated the stylesheets with my original Stylesheet.

Please let me know if there is a fix for that before I continue implementing the classes of my templete in this mod's templete.

This is the code with the correct classes which will give you the three across display:

This is the css for this display:

.linkstext{padding: 10px 0;float:left;width:33%;text-align:center;font-size:1em;}

<h1>Links</h1>

<div class="linkstext"><a href="http://www.mysticmountainnaturals.com/demotest/index.php?main_page=links&amp;lPath=6">
       <img src="images/link_category/bath_beauty.png" alt="Bath and Beauty" title=" Bath and Beauty " width="80" height="80" /><br />Bath and Beauty</a></div>
<div class="linkstext"><a href="http://www.mysticmountainnaturals.com/demotest/index.php?main_page=links&amp;lPath=8">
       <img src="images/link_category/candles.png" alt="Candles" title=" Candles " width="80" height="80" /><br />Candles</a></div>
<div class="linkstext"><a href="http://www.mysticmountainnaturals.com/demotest/index.php?main_page=links&amp;lPath=10">
       <img src="images/link_category/computers.png" alt="Computers, Electronics, Gadgets" title=" Computers, Electronics, Gadgets " width="80" height="80" /><br />Computers, Electronics, Gadgets</a></div>

Your display is as follows:
If you are going to use this <div class="content"> you will have to define the content class in the stylesheet so that it will out put the proper display:

.content{padding: 10px 0;float:left;width:33%;text-align:center;font-size:1em;}

However doing this will have an effect on other pages which use the content class for display.

My recommendation would be to use the class="linkstext" instead of the class="content"

<h1>Links</h1>
<div class="content"><a href="http://www.coolcarpartsonline.com/index.php?main_page=links&amp;lPath=1">
       <img src="images/link_category/Automotive_Category_image.bmp" alt="Automotive" title=" Automotive " width="80" height="60" /><br /><div class="linkboxcontent">Automotive</div></a></div>
<div class="content"><a href="http://www.coolcarpartsonline.com/index.php?main_page=links&amp;lPath=2">
       <img src="images/pixel_trans.gif" alt="Business" title=" Business " width="1" height="1" /><br /><div class="linkboxcontent">Business</div></a></div>
<div class="content"><a href="http://www.coolcarpartsonline.com/index.php?main_page=links&amp;lPath=3">
       <img src="images/pixel_trans.gif" alt="Test" title=" Test " width="1" height="1" /><br /><div class="linkboxcontent">Test</div></a></div>

Thanks for the quick response.
2 other questions.
If you take a look at this link: http://www.coolcarpartsonline.com/links.html?lPath=1 How can I adjust the padding in the left side?
Also the header have switched down after playing with the css i added for this mod. This will only show in FF not IE. There is a gap added between the nabigation and the logo wrapper I don't know how to get rid of it.
