Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

[clydejones]

OK, I went into Admin - Extras - Links and edited the URL for the image box to show the following:
http://www.kings-kreations.com/zen/i..._logo_mini.jpg

I also tried it with:
http://www.kings-kreations.com/zen/i...ks_default.jpg

Neither will display an image. If I delete the URL, the links page will show "No Image Available". I can't figure out what else I need to do. TIA!

all you need to place in the image url field is links_image/dms_logo_mini.jpg

Hi Clide! great module, works fine in english for me, but i need to install it in three more languages.
I did as usual, copied the english folders into new language files, but the link appear only in the language they have been submitted. Any chance of having it appear, without translation of course , in all languages?

i am sure i forgot something, but what???
some php file to correct?
Thanks for your help

The default language is set to english.

The module uses the session language to determine which language id to use in the database.
You'll need to duplicate the links for each language (id) you have. In other words you will have 4 links each with its own language id.

You could use phpmyadmin to export the Links Manager tables information as SQL statements then change the language_id field to the language(s) you need.

Run the new sql statements to update the tables with the new information.

will that make for exemple a french submitted link appear also in the other languages?
if that s the case i will go through the trouble, otherwise i will just let the link owner decide whether he wants to put it also in the other languages.

i do not dare touch too much the sql in fact...

You'll only see links in the language selected on the site.

English = english links, French = french links etc.

If you want links in french to show up in english also then you need to submit links in both languages.

The queries to the database select the links information where session language = language id

Hello

I don't want an banner image to be displayed on my links pages. I note that in Configuration>Links Mangaer there is a 'Display Link Banner Image' option, but when I set this to 0, the banner image is turned off but the link title disappears also?

This version of links manager allows the uploading of a banner image, if no banner image is uploaded then a default image will be used.

If you don't a banner image at all, create a transparent gif image name links_default.gif and upload it to images/links_image on your server.

You can leave Configuration>Links Mangaer there is a 'Display Link Banner Image' option set to 1.

Note you may have to edit you links admin -> extras -> links
in the image URL: field just add links_image/links_default.gif

Hope this helps
