Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

[dudeshane01]

Hi Clyde
There is one more problem , a bit more complex than this one, i guess .
I had the slimbox module working perfectly on my silver jewelry site before installing the Links manager module.
It stopped working as soon as i installed links manager .(Complete module code attached with this comment ) .
I am no expert in PHP or code writing .
I have seen more people in zen lightbox thread posting about same problem .
Can you help us solve it ?

Links manager does not use or overwrite any of the files in the slimbox module. In fact it does not overwrite any files at all.

Your best bet is to post in either the slimbox support thread or the zen lightbox support thread.

Hello,

Can anybody help me to install the link manager? I tried to upload the install_links_manager file using the Zen-Cart Sql Patches tool but I got the errors as follows:

Success 63 statements processed.
Error ERROR: Cannot insert configuration_key "PRODUCTS_OPTIONS_TYPE_SELECT" because it already exists
Error ERROR: Cannot insert configuration_key "UPLOAD_PREFIX" because it already exists
Error ERROR: Cannot insert configuration_key "TEXT_PREFIX" because it already exists
Error ERROR: Cannot insert configuration_key "IH_VERSION" because it already exists
Error ERROR: Cannot insert configuration_key "IH_VERSION" because it already exists
Warning Note: 4 statements ignored. See "upgrade_exceptions" table for additional details.


I've created new Custom folders as recommended.. What do I do wrong? Do I have to copy files from classic folders to custom ones? I left the custom folders empty. Please, please help me. Thank you so much in advance.

The errors you've mentioned only indicate that that information is already contained in your database so there is no need to be concerned.

to install the links manager follow these instructions from the "install links manager.txt" file

Before uploading change the YOUR_TEMPLATE folders to match the name of your custom template.

includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE
includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/YOUR_TEMPLATE
includes/languages/english/html_includes/YOUR_TEMPLATE
includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE
includes/modules/sideboxes/YOUR_TEMPLATE
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/


The files are arranged in the same structure as Zen Cart so you can FTP the admin, email, images and includes folders to your server.

Thank you Clyde. I did it. As I understand I have to create new folders instead YOUR_TEMPLATE? So, it looks as follows:

includes/languages/english/Custom
includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/Custom
includes/languages/english/html_includes/Custom
includes/modules/Custom
includes/modules/sideboxes/Custom
includes/templates/Custom


I can see the Link Manager in the Admin > Configuration > Link Manager, but I cannot find it in the Admin -> Tools -> Layout boxes contoller... According to instructions it suppose to start with "Links Box - Display Links in Sidebox" and I see "Links Box - Display View All Links". How I can activate the Links Manager to start to build link or see it on my website? Also I can't find the Admin -> Extras -> Links. Please, help me. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.. Thank you soo much in advance.

The YOUR_TEMPLATE should be changed to the name of the template you are currently using on your site.

If Custom is the name of the template you are currently using on your site then the above is correct.

make sure you've uploaded the following files:

admin/link_categories.php
admin/links.php
admin/links_contact.php
admin/includes/boxes/extra_boxes/links_extras_dhtml.php
admin/includes/extra_datafiles/links_manager.php
admin/includes/functions/extra_functions/links_manager.php
admin/includes/languages/english/links.php
admin/includes/languages/english/link_categories.php
admin/includes/languages/english/links_contact.php
admin/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/links.php

Is there any way to put the "View All Links" link in a tab at the top of the page? So the top of the page would have tabs labeled "Home" "Log Out" "Links" "Contact Us" "My Account" "Checkout"... How to do this?
