Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

[clydejones]

Hi Clyde,

Just noticed an error when trying to add new link categories.

If the sort order field is left blank (which it is by default) then the following error message is displayed.



A work-around is to enter a number into the sort order field.

Maybe this field should be set to '0' by default?

Thanks Alex,

I'll correct this in the next upgrade.

Sounds good. :)

Just to let you know, I'm using PHP 5.2.3 and MySQL 5.0.41 (running in strict mode I beleive, which is probably explains this error).

I'm still trying to find a solution to my other problems, as mentioned this post.

So far I've tried the code change you suggested, but had no luck.

This should take care of the sort order issue.

Just unzip the file and upload the admin folder to your server.

Thanks, that fixed the sort order issue.

I'm currently running IIS 6.

When trying to submit a new link (not via the admin) the page simply refreshes.

Also, clicking on any category (on the links page) does not display any links. Again, the page seems to refresh.

I'm still looking into these issues, but not getting very far at the moment.

I've never used IIS(windows) server.

The mods both Links and Testimonial were developed using xaamp/apache.

A couple of other people running IIS have reported this same issue.

I'm not sure I understand why it would be a problem. the submit button should work the same way as submitting any of the other forms in ZC which both of the mods submission forms are based on.

Let me know if you do find a solution.

Hello,

I like this add-on (congrats to the developer), however I have a few questions...

I didn't see a captcha feature. I have a link submission site (not related) that currently doesnt have captcha and I am getting so many link requests that it is to overwhelming to filter through them.
Does this add-on somehow limit this?

Does the add-on have reciprocal link verification?

The option to instantly list verified links?

Lastly, How difficult would it be to transfer over 3000 links via excel, and could it be done if they were not reciprocal links?

Kind Regards,
Jeff

It doesn't have captcha incorporated, but there is a mod located in the downloads section that can be used.

Just be sure you run a file compare of tpl_links_submit.php (that file in the captcha mod is older than the one in the current version of Links Manager.

Does the add-on have reciprocal link verification?

This can be done in admin -> extras -> links
You will have to set the "links check phrase" in admin -> configuration -> links manager

The option to instantly list verified links?

submitted links must be approved admin -> extras -> links before they are listed.

Lastly, How difficult would it be to transfer over 3000 links via excel, and could it be done if they were not reciprocal links?

The links information is stored in three different tables: Links - Links description - links to links categories.
You'd have to break up to fit the table structure(s)

Just wanted to let everyone know that I've solved my second issue (clicking on any category (on the links page) does not display any links).

I made the following changes to lines 27-28 of includes/modules/pages/links/header_php.php:

From:

  if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['lPath'])) {
    $lPath = $HTTP_GET_VARS['lPath'];

To:

  if (isset($_GET['lPath'])) {
    $lPath = $_GET['lPath'];

I'm currently working on a fix for the other issue (trying to submit a new link (not via the admin) the page simply refreshes) and will post my findings here.

Hope this helps someone else running this contribution on IIS.

Alex,

did you also make the same changes on lines 31-32

FROM:

 } elseif (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['links_id'])) {
    $lPath = zen_get_link_path($HTTP_GET_VARS['links_id']);

TO:

 } elseif (isset($_GET['links_id'])) {
    $lPath = zen_get_link_path($_GET['links_id']);

[Alex Clarke]

Just made those changes now. All is working fine (except the submit link form, but I'll worry about that next week).

Thanks for the help. :)
