Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

londoh:

Hi

this is a very useful mod - thanks

but there's 1 slight prob: because of the use of $HTTP_POST_VARS it only runs on my system (PHP 5.2.4) with register_long_arrays set to on in php.ini (or via php_value)

The default value for register_long_arrays is off and perhaps it might be worth considering replacing the use of $HTTP_POST_VARS with $_POST / $_GET

I'll make the changes and post an updated version in the downloads section.

Re: Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

Hi

Re $HTTP_POST_VARS - thats prob a good idea going forward. Thanks

There is another small issue (in 3.3.0 at least). Its a usability thing:
If we edit a link...
/links.php?page=1&lID=1&action=edit

The 'Status' drop down always comes up as 'Pending', when it should really carry the actual value from the DB so the user doesnt have to remember to reset it to what it was.

thanks

l.

Re: Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

Hi Clyde,

Just noticed a couple of issues with Links Manager v3.3.0.

  1. The submit link button does not work (I'm having the same problem I did with Testimonials Manager)
  2. Clicking on any link category (on my links page) does nothing!I'm pretty sure I can fix issue 1 (as I'll just check the changes you made to the form handling in the Testimonials Manager fix you sent me). However, I'm not sure how to fix the second issue?

If you have any ideas that would be great.

My links page is at: http://www.beyondeuphoria.co.uk/index.php?main_page=links

I'll let you know how I get on! :)

Alex,

Open includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/link_listing.php

find the following lines of code:
if ($column_list[$col] != 'LINK_LIST_IMAGE') {
$lc_text = zen_create_sort_heading($HTTP_GET_VARS['sort'], $col+1, $lc_text);
}

change the highlighted portion to $_GET

See if that makes a difference.

  1. run the following sql script from admin -> tools -> install sql patches.

copy and paste the code and click the send button.

INSERT INTO `configuration` VALUES ('', 'Image Handler Version', 'IH_VERSION', '2.0', 'This is used by image handler to check if the database is up to date with uploaded image handler files.', 0, 100, NULL, '2007-09-03 12:30:43', NULL, 'zen_cfg_textarea_small(');
INSERT INTO `configuration` VALUES ('', 'Product option type Select', 'PRODUCTS_OPTIONS_TYPE_SELECT', '0', 'The number representing the Select type of product option.', 0, NULL, '2006-09-04 09:22:39', '2006-09-04 09:22:39', NULL, NULL);
INSERT INTO `configuration` VALUES ('', 'Upload prefix', 'UPLOAD_PREFIX', 'upload_', 'Prefix used to differentiate between upload options and other options', 0, NULL, '2006-09-04 09:22:39', '2006-09-04 09:22:39', NULL, NULL);
INSERT INTO `configuration` VALUES ('', 'Text prefix', 'TEXT_PREFIX', 'txt_', 'Prefix used to differentiate between text option values and other option values', 0, NULL, '2006-09-04 09:22:39', '2006-09-04 09:22:39', NULL, NULL);
  1. Images can be added in admin -> extras -> links

Re: Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

Thanks for your answer Clyde
I have tried the SQL patch but I got a sintax error at first then a duplicate entry (IH version check) I deleted that from the db then MySQL processed the 4 values.
Still no change for the mouseover image
Still no change for the Insert image field URL in the submit link form
Thanks

Links manager uses its own image height and width values and is not affected by IH2

images are added to the links via admin -> extras -> links and not through the links submit form.

Yep,

Just copy and paste the following in admin -> tools -> install sql patches and click the send button

SET @configuration_group_id=0;
SELECT @configuration_group_id:=configuration_group_id 
FROM configuration_group
WHERE configuration_group_title= 'Links Manager'
LIMIT 1;

DELETE FROM configuration WHERE configuration_group_id = @configuration_group_id;
DELETE FROM configuration WHERE configuration_key = 'DEFINE_LINKS_STATUS';
DELETE FROM configuration_group WHERE configuration_group_id = @configuration_group_id;

INSERT INTO `configuration` VALUES ('', 'Product option type Select', 'PRODUCTS_OPTIONS_TYPE_SELECT', '0', 'The number representing the Select type of product option.', 0, NULL, '2006-09-04 09:22:39', '2006-09-04 09:22:39', NULL, NULL);
INSERT INTO `configuration` VALUES ('', 'Upload prefix', 'UPLOAD_PREFIX', 'upload_', 'Prefix used to differentiate between upload options and other options', 0, NULL, '2006-09-04 09:22:39', '2006-09-04 09:22:39', NULL, NULL);
INSERT INTO `configuration` VALUES ('', 'Text prefix', 'TEXT_PREFIX', 'txt_', 'Prefix used to differentiate between text option values and other option values', 0, NULL, '2006-09-04 09:22:39', '2006-09-04 09:22:39', NULL, NULL);
INSERT INTO `configuration` VALUES ('', 'Image Handler Version', 'IH_VERSION', '2.0', 'This is used by image handler to check if the database is up to date with uploaded image handler files.', 0, 100, NULL, '2007-09-03 12:30:43', NULL, 'zen_cfg_textarea_small(');

NOTE: a fresh install will delete the links you already have entered in the database because the install sql will delete your current links manager tables and then install new empty tables.

Re: Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

I see borzoid has the links listing exactly the way I want it on https://www.DogsChoice.com

How can I set this that it shows like this on the links listing?

Title 1

Title 2
description text link 2

I guess the more precise question is, how do I get rid of the image column on the links listing page? borzoid, how did you do this??

install the fix included in this post

instructions necessary to accomplish what you want are also located in the referenced post.

This fix and a few others will be included in the next update to Links Manager.

Re: Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

Hi Clyde,

Just noticed an error when trying to add new link categories.

If the sort order field is left blank (which it is by default) then the following error message is displayed.

1366 Incorrect integer value: '' for column 'link_categories_sort_order' at row 1
in:
[insert into zen_link_categories (link_categories_sort_order, link_categories_status, link_categories_date_added) values ('', '1', now())]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

A work-around is to enter a number into the sort order field.

Maybe this field should be set to '0' by default?
