Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

With just a quick look, it appears that the image for "gifts for Children" is NOT the same size (height) as the rest of the images.

That means that whatever follows that image is going to be bumped up a little and won't clear to the next line.

Make sure your images are all the same height and I think that should solve the problem.

I resized it and it's still not aligning correctly and the text for all the icons are closer to the pic below it than the one it is supposed to be with.

After another check: all the images (except gifts for children) are 80px high.

That image is only 64px high (cleared my browser cache and refreshed the page several times)

Also make sure that the first declaration in links.css reads as follows:

.linkstext{padding: 10px 0;float:left;width:33%;text-align:center;font-size:1em;}

It's 64px because I resized it. It was 80px the first time I showed it to you and the .css is exactly as you listed. It could be that my template has something to do with it. What parameters do I tweak to get things aligned?

Sorry, The image was 64px the first time I looked at the site (thats why I said it appeared smaller that the other images)

This is what I see in links.css (first line)

.linkstext{padding: 10 0;float:left;width:33%;text-align:center;font-size:1em;}

I disabled the Children's Gifts categories and it all lines up now. I think I inserted that category later after the others were created and somehow it confused things. I changed the sort order to put it at the very end and it showed up in the same place but without a pic.

I would also like the text to be up higher and there to be space below the text between category images.

OK, I added the px (sorry missed that the first time) and it's still not as it should be.

Ignore me, I changed the wrong thing! I really need to just go to bed LOL

This should fix the spacing problem.

Just unzip the file, rename the YOUR_TEMPLATE folder to match the name of your custom template and upload the entire includes folder to your server.

Glad to help

I just got an email that said they could not add their link to my site. I tested and got this error when the link is submitted:

1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 's Gifts' and language_id = '1'' at line 1
in:
[select link_categories_id from link_categories_description where link_categories_name = 'Baby & Children's Gifts' and language_id = '1' ]

I got no SQL errors at install. Am running 1.3.8a on sql is version 5. Do you have a fix that will not wipe out my categories and current links?

Didn't you say that you disabled that particular category?

You have an extra apostrophe in the category name:

'Baby & Children's Gifts'

To correct this, edit the category name so it appears as follows:

'Baby & Children's Gifts'

You may want to make this correction to any other similar category names

I did disable a category on my https://www.giftsofcharacter.com site but they was just because that category was aligning funny. On https://www.doodlebuckets.com is where I am getting this error both when someone tries to submit on the links page and when I try to add in the admin.

OK! I'll give it a go...

When I put in the '\ in for the ', it shows up as '\ in the category name.

It should look like this when you do the edit

Baby & Children's Gifts

This tells the sql statement to keep the ' before the s and not to end the statement at that point.

You may see it on the editing screen but it should show up as

Baby & Children's Gifts on the submission screen.

Just wanted to let ya'll know that the category images will line up perfectly if you size your pics to 80px x 80px up front. I think my problem was that some pics were rectangular and some were square. When I cropped them all and resized them to 80 x 80, everything lined up great and I don't have to disable the category that was out of whack any more :)
