Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

[MeltDown]

Clyde - Thanks so much for this impressive module, it's a very complete package!

My Question concerns the links_submit_success page, where I see following:

Shop Home :: Links :: NAVBAR_TITLE

For the life of me I can't find where that NAVBAR_TITLE might be so that I could correct it. Any thoughts?

Thanks! Tim

Two other quick questions:
In admin/extra/links when I edit a link there is a check-box for: Rating:
What is that and it's purpose?

And secondly, in admin/configuration/links manager: To correctly answer this question, for example:
Display Link Image & Title?
I must put in a number that is an indicator of my choice, correct? 0 means none, 1 is link only etc. Is that correct?

thanks again -

go to includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE and open links_submit_success.php You'll find the following:

define('NAVBAR_TITLE_2', 'Success');

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

NB: the update version I'm working on will eliminate the need for this page. It will also include a few extras including a modified version of the CAPTCHA contribution.

The rating is legacy code from a really old version of links manager and can safely be ignored (just leave it set to 0.) It will be removed in the update.

The numbering of these three options:

Display Link Image & Title 1
Display Link Description 2
Display Link Click Count 3

is actually their sort order. Again, this is being addressed in the update.

Hope this helps.

That took care of it, Clyde

I'm looking forward to the new version, as well. I realize that it must be on the complicated side trying to get all the bits and pieces to mesh. Thanks for the effort!

Do you think that is possible to solve , ??

Thanks in advance Chris

Is there any way to prevent the links side box from "growing" when you enter a long catagory name?

I've made up on as an example at my site HERE

sideboxes/links.php
Find (~23 line)

$links_query= ("select lc.link_categories_id, lc.link_categories_sort_order, lcd.link_categories_id, lcd.link_categories_name from " . TABLE_LINK_CATEGORIES . " lc, " . TABLE_LINK_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION . " lcd where lc.link_categories_status = '1' and lc.link_categories_id = lcd.link_categories_id order by lc.link_categories_sort_order, lcd.link_categories_name");

Replace by

  $links_query= ("SELECT lc.link_categories_id, lc.link_categories_sort_order, lcd.link_categories_id, lcd.link_categories_name 
                  FROM " . TABLE_LINK_CATEGORIES . " lc, " . TABLE_LINK_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION . " lcd 
                  WHERE lc.link_categories_status = '1' 
                    AND lc.link_categories_id = lcd.link_categories_id 
                    AND lcd.language_id = '" . (int)$_SESSION['languages_id'] . "'
                  ORDER BY lc.link_categories_sort_order, lcd.link_categories_name");

[wtashby]

Never mind, I figured out that in admin-configuration-links manager you can adjust maximum length of link category name to display from 20 to a smaller number, say, 15. Longer names will truncate, and the sidebox will not expand.

a_berezin,

Thanks, I've included the change in the update version.

The only thing left now is to get the "all links display page" working correctly.
