Sorry, I had one more question. Where can I format the emails that it sends out.?
Thanks.

I installed yesterday, and no errors. Everyting seems to be working, but my Help button, is just text, no button. I uploaded file Links_buttons.zip, but no change.
How can I fix this?
Thanks.

make sure that you have uploaded the buttons file to:
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE
(YOUR_TEMPLATE being the name of your custom template)

Thanks.

E-mails are formated automatically by the MOD.

I did upload the buttons file, twice. I still have the text, and the link shows an address, but no pop up.

Any ideas as to why it's working would be appreciated.
Thanks.

check includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/links_manager_defines.php and make sure the following define statements are included.

define('BUTTON_IMAGE_SUBMIT_LINK', 'button_submit_link.gif');
define('BUTTON_SUBMIT_LINK_ALT', 'Submit Link');
define('BUTTON_IMAGE_LINK_HELP', 'button_link_help.gif');
define('BUTTON_LINK_HELP_ALT', 'Link Help');

The last two defines were missing. Adding the missing defines worked for showing the button. It still does not pop up the help screen.
I just changed hosts accounts and I've some problems with rights. Where is the file that should pop up? I'll check to make sure it's there and the rights are properly set.

The latter two defines weren't in my download from the Zen Cart Downloads Area, either!!!

OK, Thanks for the info. I'll post an update to the download section.

Hi Clyde,

Just installed links_manager_3.1.2. Everything went well, but I noticed a couple of problems.

1) When I go to Admin -> Extras -> Links and hit New Link,
it shows the following error message at the bottom, under the Options:

OptionsStatus:
Catchable fatal error: Object of class queryFactoryResult could not be converted to string in /home/matrecom/public_html/admin/includes/functions/html_output.php on line 333

It gives you no option to proceed with the creation of the link either.

2) If I use IE7 for Admin -> Extras -> Links, then it becomes obvious that a button for the New Link is missing (this is not obvious in FF). The address for the button is "/admin/includes/languages/english/images/buttons/button_new_link.gif", however there is no "\admin\includes\languages\english\buttons" directory in the mod that I downloaded.

What are my best options to fix this? Has anyone else encountered similar problems?

And yes, as other people pointed out, the Links Help button on the Submit a Link page is not working.

Many thanks,
Alex

First: what version of PHP are you using?

Second: I'll post you fix for the button issue shortly.
