open admin -> configuration -> links manager -> Display Link Image & Title and set to 0.

I don't see Display Link Image & Title in links manager and I downloaded the new version you pointed out.

set "display Link title" to 0

Didn't work, it just removed both the hyperlink title and the image banner.

unzip the file - change the YOUR_TEMPLATE folders to match the name of your custom template

upload the entire includes folder to your server

Thanks that did the trick, but now Click Count doesn't show the number of times a link is clicked on.

That is because the links are no longer redirected and are direct links. (this was a frequent request)

Hi everybody,

I just uploaded a link manager addon, it adds a Greybox effect to your reciprocal links therfore keeping your customers in your site. "GreyBox 2 for links manager".

Hope you like it.

Hi Clyde
Can I ask you? I am getting the directories in a vertical line on the left, how can I correct that?
Also the images seam to be not re dimensioned properly, is there anything to be done? Can you have a look?

links.css
links_submit.css

Thanks Clyde I dont know how that happened but that was it.
The images are still a bit smudged.
How can I resize the links box so it stays within the box border?
Thanks

open links css and make the changes indicated by the highlighted portions.

.linkstext{margin: 0;padding: 10px 0;float:left;width:30%;text-align:center;font-size:1em;}

Are sure is the right line? It doesn't make any difference.

Found it.
I changed style="width 100%" to 98% (line 26)
Thanks

I am just starting with this mod today.. and have couple (well more than couple) of questions:

A. When I open link submit page, I get this:
ENTRY_LINKS_IMAGE ENTRY_LINKS_IMAGE_TEXT

B. Where can I make the input boxes wider?

C. When I click submit, it gives me back the submit link page. Should it bring me to a page saying something like - Your request have been submitted??

D. The email that person submitting request receives, states this text twice:

Welcome to The Fine Art of Clive Kay link exchange program. 
Your link has been successfully submitted at The Fine Art of Clive Kay. It will be added to our listing as soon as we approve it. You will receive an email about the status of your submittal. If you have not received it within the next 48 hours, please contact us before submitting your link again. 

E. Where can I change the blue background on input fields to the same colour as "Your Contact Information" (or some other than bue colour)?
(BTW I don't have form.png in includes/templates/YOUR/images folder)

F. When I try admin/extra/links check link, I get the messages that it was found and it gives the address. it would be nice:smile: if one could click on that address to get to the site to see if the reciprocal link is there.

Great add on! I hope it will eliminate tons of "fake" requests (site will be using CAPTCHA).

Thanks
