Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

Hi clydejones,

Could you take a look at my website http://www.lindseysjewelry.com and tell me what did I do wrong with the links mod. When I click on view all links and move my mouse over submit link I see this:

IMAGE_BUTTON_SUBMIT_LINK

could you please point my in the direction on fixing this. :dontgetit

Thanks In Advance. :smile:

Try adding the following to

includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/links.php

define('BUTTON_SUBMIT_LINK_ALT', 'submit link');

see if that helps.

Cant add it becuase it is already there. :dontgetit

OK, check for either of these two files

includes/languages/english/links.php

includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/links.php

add the following to the file.

define('IMAGE_BUTTON_SUBMIT_LINK', 'Submit Link');

Save and upload to your server

:thumbsup: Thanks Clyde that worked.

Thanks for your help and for the fast responses.

Not at all, glad to help.

Any suggestions on how to block out spammers? A friend of mine is being spammed bigtime through her Links Manager.

I am haveing the same problem, yeah in admin you can deleted it but is there a way to just block have setting for certain key words. How do you report a whois of the spam?

I'm putting the finishing touches on a new version of Links Manager that will incorporate these new features.

1. Option to have only registered users submit links

2. Ability to set the sort order of the links - by title, by date(newest to oldest) and by click count(highest to lowest).

3. Option to use a modified version of the CAPTCHA User Verification Mod by Funkey.

Two versions will be included, an Upgrade version for those who already have Links Manager installed and a New Install version.

NB: The CAPTCHA should prevent spamming by automated bots, but will do very little to prevent spam by someone willing to take the time to fill in the Links Submit form manually. I'm putting together a list of domain names and IP addresses of the spammers I find and adding them to my .htaccess file.

tanks in advance

not sure of exactly what you mean.

Clyde - Thanks so much for this impressive module, it's a very complete package!

My Question concerns the links_submit_success page, where I see following:

Shop Home :: Links :: NAVBAR_TITLE

For the life of me I can't find where that NAVBAR_TITLE might be so that I could correct it. Any thoughts?

Thanks! Tim

Two other quick questions:
In admin/extra/links when I edit a link there is a check-box for: Rating:
What is that and it's purpose?

And secondly, in admin/configuration/links manager: To correctly answer this question, for example:
Display Link Image & Title?
I must put in a number that is an indicator of my choice, correct? 0 means none, 1 is link only etc. Is that correct?

thanks again -

go to includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE and open links_submit_success.php You'll find the following:

define('NAVBAR_TITLE_2', 'Success');

delete the highlighted portion save the file and upload to your server.

NB: the update version I'm working on will eliminate the need for this page. It will also include a few extras including a modified version of the CAPTCHA contribution.

The rating is legacy code from a really old version of links manager and can safely be ignored (just leave it set to 0.) It will be removed in the update.

The numbering of these three options:

Display Link Image & Title 1
Display Link Description 2
Display Link Click Count 3

is actually their sort order. Again, this is being addressed in the update.

Hope this helps.

That took care of it, Clyde :P

I'm looking forward to the new version, as well. I realize that it must be on the complicated side trying to get all the bits and pieces to mesh. Thanks for the effort!

Hi,

Just to inform you that this contrib doesn't work in a multilingual site
( I have a site with 4 languages and the categories are showing 4 times on the sidebox) ... doesn't look good

Do you think that is possible to solve , ??

Thanks in advance Chris:sleepy:

I have 3 languages and the same pr:cry: blem. I like to show only the English link.
The customer can at a new link from all languages to the English page.

Is this possible?

Thanks for supp:yes: rt .

Is there any way to prevent the links side box from "growing" when you enter a long catagory name?

I've made up on as an example at my site HERE

2faristababa
sideboxes/links.php
Find (~23 line)

$links_query= ("select lc.link_categories_id, lc.link_categories_sort_order, lcd.link_categories_id, lcd.link_categories_name from " . TABLE_LINK_CATEGORIES . " lc, " . TABLE_LINK_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION . " lcd where lc.link_categories_status = '1' and lc.link_categories_id = lcd.link_categories_id order by lc.link_categories_sort_order, lcd.link_categories_name");

Replace by

  $links_query= ("SELECT lc.link_categories_id, lc.link_categories_sort_order, lcd.link_categories_id, lcd.link_categories_name 
                  FROM " . TABLE_LINK_CATEGORIES . " lc, " . TABLE_LINK_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION . " lcd 
                  WHERE lc.link_categories_status = '1' 
                    AND lc.link_categories_id = lcd.link_categories_id 
                    AND lcd.language_id = '" . (int)$_SESSION['languages_id'] . "'
                  ORDER BY lc.link_categories_sort_order, lcd.link_categories_name");

Never mind, I figured out that in admin-configuration-links manager you can adjust maximum length of link category name to display from 20 to a smaller number, say, 15. Longer names will truncate, and the sidebox will not expand.

a_berezin,

Thanks, I've included the change in the update version.

The only thing left now is to get the "all links display page" working correctly.
