Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

Hello Clyde,

I have had this happen before, I know it doesn't happen to everybody. I had upgraded to the last version, and get a division by zero error:-

http://www.thegemtree.com/index.php?main_page=links

Last time I got it, I installed from scratch instead of using upgrade. I have a lot of links already, so I wondered if there was a way around it?

Thanksfully,

Heathenmagic

line 37 in tpl_links_default.php is

$width = (int)(100 / MAX_LINK_CATEGORIES_ROW) . '%';

Check
admin -> configuration -> links manager and see what the setting for Number of Link Categories Per Row is. it shouldn't be 0

Hello there Clyde,

I tried the SQL through PHPadmin on the host, and after adding prefix, the problem goes away, and the config shows up.

I upload SQL through Zencart, but with links manager, it seems to go awry now and then. lol

But no matter, I will put it through the host end, it must be a clash of mods or something.

Sincerely,

Heathenagic :smile:

Hello there,

Sorry its me again! lol. Just wondered, if the links box is active, is there any css code to align it. I looked through the pages but couldn't see any post about the link box. I have it on my website at the minute, left hand side.

Regards,

Russ :lookaroun

you can add this to your stylesheet.css

#linksboxContent {
text-align: center;
}

Hello Clyde,

I have put that entry in. It doesn't seem to change the alignment yet. I have put it at the bottom of stylesheet.css, is that a good place for it?

Thanks,

Heathenmagic

That should be fine

FONT=ArialI have been playing with link manager on my test server, and like what I see. But I do not see a place to list my link info, so when some one submits a new link they know what info to use for the reciprocal link. Am I just missing it?[/FONT]
FONT=ArialI have been looking through the forum, and checking out other Zen users site, but do not see that info any where[/FONT]
FONT=Arialclydejones, what do you suggest[/FONT]

Clidk the "link help" button on the links submit page.

I apologize I’m probably not wording this right,
If I go to http://mysticmountainnaturals.com/
Click on Submit Link
It takes me to the Link Information page
Where on that page does it tell me what you want me to use for the title, URL, and description of your web site for the reciprocal link on my website back to your site?

Open admin -> tools -> define pages editor

select the links submit entry and edit the page to include whatever information you wish.

You can also edit the same page manually if you so desire.
open includes/languages/english/html_includes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/define_links_submit.php and edit as you wish.

If you do not require or want a reciprocal link you can turn that option off in admin -> configuration -> links manager

I'm using zencart 1.3.7.1 and links manager 3.2.2. I have two problems with the link manager. First in the admin section. I get the followin error when trying to add a link:

Status:
Catchable fatal error: Object of class queryFactoryResult could not be converted to string in http://www.mysite.com/admin/includes/functions/html_output.php on line 333

My other problem is on the actual website. The "send now" button does not show neither does the pop up help button.

I had no problems with previous contributions and older versions of zencart before. I really think this is a great addon.

I will appreciate any help on this.

Thanks

URL for your site?

My website is installed on a network server, I'm testing everything before I upload it. I like testing everything before I publish. This is actually the only problem I'm running into.

I never had problems with previous contributions before on my server.

Thanks

thanks Clyde

I knew I was just missing something,
thats just what i was looking for

What version of PHP are you running on your network server?

Sounds like you're missing a couple of definition files

Make sure you've changed ALL instances of the YOUR_TEMPLATE folder to match the name of your custom template

Here's a fix for those with PHP 5+ on their servers and who encounter the following error when adding links from the admin panel:

Status:
Catchable fatal error: Object of class queryFactoryResult could not be converted to string in http://www.mysite.com/admin/includes/functions/html_output.php on line 333

open admin/links.php and locate the following line of code: around line 509

echo zen_draw_pull_down_menu('links_status', $link_statuses, $lInfo->links_status);

and replace with the following:

echo zen_draw_pull_down_menu('links_status', $link_statuses, $links_status);

I'll include this fix in an update and post in the downloads section

That did it, thanks. No more errors. I did however, checked that I uploaded all the files correctly, I even downloaded a complete new zip file, but still can't show the "send now button" or the pop up help button. Any other suggestions.

By the way, I want to thank you for your time helping me out.
