Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

[CustomBooks]

Got it! Thanks, Clyde.

But why does "Submit a Link" need SSL?

if (BOX_DISPLAY_SUBMIT_LINK == 'true') {
$content .= '<br /><a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_LINKS_SUBMIT, '', 'SSL') . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_LINKS_SUBMIT . '</a>';

Why not NONSSL?

because you're asking for customer information (name, email etc.) which should be submitted via SSL; just the same as creating an account.

Hi Clyde,

Just wondering if you have a change log available for Links Manager? This would come in handy as I'm about to upgrade from version v3.5.3a to v3.5.3c .

Thanks

Thanks

between a and c there were several bug fixes that affected multiple files.

Just open the upgrade folder and follow the instructions.

Don't forget to change the name(s) of the YOUR_ADMIN and YOUR_TEMPLATE folders.

Clyde great contribution!! I do have one question though: How do I change the e-mail address that is being used by the links manager? (I want to use my link exchange e-mail address to protect myself from SPAM)

As you of course know, it's a bad idea to use your main e-mails in the link exchange business.

There are at least 2 or 3 posts in this thread that explain how to accomplish this. ( I just don't recall where )

Clyde,

I did several thread searches. The most rewarding was: "modify email address" and "change address"

I keep getting these posts (which are close but don't answer):
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...ess#post929287

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...ess#post774132 (number 5 answer is not clear).

My point is that in: admin>email options> there is not a links e-mail from: option. It uses the "Email Address (sent FROM)" option I believe. I use this address for my newsletters and e-mails I send from the admin panel. I am looking to give the links manager it's own e-mail address.

If it was answered in your post I could not find the answer via a search.

2 step process:

1) open includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/links_submit.php

add a new define statement

define('LINKS_MANAGER_EMAIL', 'your_email @ whatever.com');

2) open includes/modules/pages/links_submit/header_php.php

find the following STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS and replace each instance with LINKS_MANAGER_EMAIL

Thank you for your time clyde! That is exactly what I was looking for!
