Doodlebuckets:

Clyde, the modified admin html_output file fixed it! Thanks for looking into this. I searched and searched but couldn't fix the answer. You da bes :o)

Glad everything worked out.

Hy Clyde:

I try the link manager but when i go to Admin->Extras->Links->New Link a formulary to add new link open ok, but no button create or update de the new link.

Is possible i forgot to up and archive or something like this?

Is posible to to desactivate send new links for customer only send for the admin?
Because i wnat only put my own links.

Regards and thank you very much.

Depends on whether you are installing Links Manager for the first time or if you are upgrading from a previous version.

If you are installing Links Manager for the first time then you'll want to install the files from the new install folder and run the install_links_manager.sql

If you are upgrading from a previous version then you'll want to install the files from the upgrade folder and run the update_links_manager.sql

In links_submit.css I try to make the links help popup background to white because I have a dark background. So I did this.

#popupLinksHelp {
background: #FFF;
background-image: none;
}
```But nothing's change. Any idea?

Try adding it to your stylesheet.css

Thanks Clyde! Need to clear cache too.

Clyde, I was getting probably 100 spam link submittals in my directory each week and I just added CAPTCHA and I've blocked the rascals! :clap: It was the same one time and time again. I had to fiddle around withe a_berezin's mod though because the link_submit part of it is not up to date with the changes you've made. Just thought I'd let you know...I'd be happy to post the code here if anyone wants to add it as well.

OK, I've just updated the whole post and attached here. Make sure to rename the YOUR_TEMPLATE folders to match your template. The files that I had to change were the header.php file in includes/modules/pages/links_submit folder and the tpl_links_submit_default.php file in includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates folder.

This fix works with a_berezin's capcha mod. It updates the link_submit files to work with the most recent version of Links Manager(3.4.1).

Unzip the file, rename the YOUR_TEMPLATE folder (includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE) to match the name of your custom template.

upload the entire includes folder to your server.

Make sure you have already installed the captcha mod.

Hello,

I am new to Zen cart and am trying to install the link manager add on. When I past the code into the query filed and press send I receive the following error msg - Precondition Failed
The precondition on the request for the URL /store/admin/sqlpatch.php evaluated to false.

Since this is my first attempt at an add on I am sure that I am doing something crazy here, but would appreciate guidance.

Thank you,
Jennifer

This is the first time I've come across this error. It is most likely connected with mod_security settings.

You'll have to check with your hosting company because essentially your web server thinks your browser didn't send something it should have.

Quick question:

How do I quickly locate new submitted links? I received emails telling me a link has been submitted on my website but I don't know how to locate it. Please advise. Thanks.

look in admin -> extras -> links

Check the status of your links - if any of them have a yellow highlighted button they are the ones needing approval.

Is this the quickest way to locate it? What if I have hundreds of pages of links?

Individual links have to be approved before they show up on your links page, so you'll have to access admin -> extras -> links in order to approve them.

This way you can judge whether links submitted to you are legitimate links that you would want to display or spam.
