Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

[cjcrafts]

Greetings Clyde & Everyone,

Regarding Ver. 3.3.1.

I recently installed version 3.3.1

I have two things I am trying to get working with it but have had no success.

First task:
I am trying to add Captcha GD & TTF to it.
when I add the code in header_php.php & the template file "where I believe" it goes all I get is a blank screen.

Second task:
In a modifed version of 3.30 I ran previously (Thanks Oxy), visitors could add a banner URL when they posted a link. I noticed that adding an image is available through the admin but not on the submit link form. I would love to have this again.

I am way below a novice when it comes to php, so any insight would be awesome.

As for your first task: download Captcha GD & TTF and install it.
Make sure you run a file compare between the links manager files and the ones that comes with Captcha GD & TTF.

Your Second task:
I'm not familiar with the modified version you are referring to. Do you have a copy of it you could share.

I'll reexplore the Captcha thing later tonight.

As for the custom version, I obtained it though a horse trade with oxicottin several months back.

Can you tell me if there is supposed to be a way for link partners to upload images when they submit a link or are we supposed to upload pics from admin for each link partner?

Amy,

Do you want them to be able to upload the image or link to an image on their site?

Amy,

I would really like them to be able to upload a pic from their desktop. For the few links I have added, I have hotlinked to the image since it is cumbersome to download and upload an image when I add the images myself. But some people despise hotlinking to their sites, so ultimately, I would like to be able to have them upload from their desktops. To me, that is the best option if they want to display a pic.

I have to agree on not hotlinking and would prefer the upload option also.

Do you want it as a "required" or "optional" field?

Hmm, that's a good question. I know I really like the look of the pics in the directory but don't want to run off link partners who don't want to post a pic. I can't image not wanting to give your link the personality that an image gives. What do you think?

would it be too much of a pain to make this and the hotlinking/uploading thing optional choices based on admin preference? just throwing out a suggestion from the back of the class, lol

[jeking]

I don't know if this is easy or hard to do, but here's my suggestion.

Have it as optional but set a 'missing image' image as the default. If someone includes their own image, great. If not, their link will still be lined up with the rest and everthing will be in order.
