I think this is probably a stylesheet issue.

open links_submit.css find this declaration

legend {font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:1.1em; color: #000; font-weight:bold; margin-bottom:5px; padding:3px; background:#fff url(../images/form.png) repeat-x center left;}

change the highlighted portion as indicated

Find the following line of code (there are two of them)

<div class="forward"><?php echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_LINKS_SUBMIT, zen_get_all_get_params()) . '">' . zen_image_button(BUTTON_SUBMIT_LINK, BUTTON_SUBMIT_LINK_ALT) . '</a>'; ?></div>

and replace them with the following

<div class="forward"><?php echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_LINKS_SUBMIT, zen_get_all_get_params()) . '">' . zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_SUBMIT_LINK, BUTTON_SUBMIT_LINK_ALT) . '</a>'; ?></div>

Based on your description, I have no idea what kind of "hackjob" you did so I'm afraid I can't help.

i went into one tpl_links_default and took out the code in red

// create column list
    $define_list = array('LINK_LIST_IMAGE' => LINK_LIST_IMAGE,
                         'LINK_LIST_DESCRIPTION' => LINK_LIST_DESCRIPTION, 
                         'LINK_LIST_COUNT' => LINK_LIST_COUNT);

 $select_column_list .= 'l.links_image_url, ld.links_title, ';
          break;
        case 'LINK_LIST_DESCRIPTION':
          $select_column_list .= 'ld.links_description, ';
          break;

took off some code to the submit file so people wouldn't post an image and description now i have to pull some code on the help file also. anyways it doesn't seem to line up great anymore inside the borders and in IE the click count seems off

try adding this declaration to your stylesheet.css

.linkListing-data{width:33%;font-size:1em;}

Hi Clyde,

Thank you so much for the Links Manager contribution! I have uploaded the admin and includes directories to my host server, but I wasn't exactly sure where to upload it to. Does it just go to the root directory, or to public_html > includes > templates > my template directory?

Also, when I go to Admin>Configuration, the "Links Manager" shows up there. But when I go to Admin>Tools>Layout Boxes Controller, there isn't a box for the Links.

I'm sure I have left out some vital step, or put the files in the wrong place. Any help would be very much appreciated! :D

If your store is in your root directory then just upload them to the root.

If your store is in another directory then upload them to that directory.

Make sure you've changed the YOUR_TEMPLATE folder(s) to match the name of your custom template folder.

Everything for my store is located in various folders under the public_html, so that's were I put the files.

I did change all YOUR_TEMPLATE folders to match my custom name, but it still does not show up in the Layout Boxes Controller.

I also do not see "Links" under Admin> Extras.

When I copied and pasted the text from the "Install_Links_Manager.sql" into the Tools>Install SQL Patches area, I get the following message:

29 statements processed.
ERROR: Cannot insert configuration_key "DEFINE_LINKS_STATUS" because it already exists
ERROR: Cannot insert configuration_key "DEFINE_LINKS_STATUS" because it already exists
Note: 1 statements ignored. See "upgrade_exceptions" table for additional details.

All those files control whether the following options show up in:

admin -> extras

links
link categories
links contact

If the files are are there then those options should be there also
