Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

[kernphilip]

I added your link to my links under Zen Development category. Now the issue is that if i had received your link through a link exchange program (like link-metro or something similar) the page that contains the link to your site does not validate.

As for why i don't have zc in the root directory, i put it in a sub directory to avoid confusion with the blog and knowledge base that I'll put there eventually

Clyde,

You are an animal!!! I can't keep my test site in order and reload every so often as it begins to look like a collage of this and that.

kernphilip,

You might consider having one at the root, the cart, blog or knowledgebase....whichever one is the most used / most important.

I'll try adding a link to and from my TEST SITE and see if we can work out the problem.

NB: Categories should be used with the contribution (as I said, I'm re-writing a lot of the original code and will try to work out the use or non-use of categories for links for those that just prefer a links page and not categorizing the links.)

Clyde,

Remember my post a while back...

Just wondering if there is a way to have Ultimate SEO URLs rewrite the URLs of all links pages.

For example, I would like my links URLs to read like this...

www.mysite.com/links/links-category-name.html

instead of this...

www.mysite.com/links.html?lPath=6

Well... I was also having problems setting up link partnerships (due to my link partners not being able to find their recipricol links.

I'm if we can get Ultimate SEO URLs and Link Manager to play nice this will solve the problem. I'll look into this and post back.

Can't wait for the new Link Manager! :)

I've been trying to change the links appearance: instead of yoursite.com/index.php?main_page=redirect_links&action=links&goto=7 to the actual address its redirecting to. I'm doing this cuz some link exchanges have checkers that look for a physical link and not a redirect. So far the only thing that has happened is that I, for some reason, have my own address showing up instead . I really don't mind losing the ability to track clicks.

[clydejones]

The link should look like this yoursite.com/index.php?main_page=links&lPath=2

At least right now. As I said, a re-write is in the works but it will take some time.

[kebeid]

Can't wait for that to come out. And if you need any testers I'll be glad to test it out for you on my site.

Until then I'll see what my playing around with the code will lead me to .

Any suggestions on how to block out spammers? A friend of mine is being spammed bigtime through her Links Manager.

[clydejones]

Right now the default behavior is to require approval of the links by the administrator. When in the admin panel just delete the unwanted links submissions.

I can add a require "registered users" only can submit a link option to the new version which is being written.

Hi,

Just to inform you that this contrib doesn't work in a multilingual site
( I have a site with 4 languages and the categories are showing 4 times on the sidebox) ... doesn't look good

Do you think that is possible to solve , ??

Thanks in advance

Chris

I'll check and see what can be done.

BTW: you might want to validate your site to fix some of the 1000+ errors.
