Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

Hi, I am using a different background color instead of #FFF hence I created 2 customized buttons to be used in place of the ones that come with the mod. I have made the following changes (in blue) in links_manager_defines.php:

define('BUTTON_IMAGE_SUBMIT_LINK', 'button_submit_link_pastel.gif');
define('BUTTON_IMAGE_SUBMIT_LINK_PASTEL', 'button_submit_link_pastel.gif');

define('BUTTON_IMAGE_LINK_HELP', 'button_link_help.gif');
define('BUTTON_IMAGE_LINK_HELP_PASTEL', 'button_link_help_pastel.gif');

I have also made the appropriate changes in tpl_links_submit_default.php but to no avail.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Make sure you have uploaded your new buttons  to includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/buttons/english/

*Generally speaking, you shouldn't have to change the define statements for the buttons. Just create your new "pastel" colored buttons and name them (button_submit_link.gif and button_link_help.gif)*

i have q
why it's good 'link manager' for shop ?

Thanks

Thanks for the prompt reply clydejones.

Yes, I have done that.

clydejones:

*Generally speaking, you shouldn't have to change the define statements for the buttons. Just create your new "pastel" colored buttons and name them (button_submit_link.gif and button_link_help.gif)*As I'm sure you know, the "Submit Link" button is used in both "View All Links" page and "Submit Link" page. The "Submit Link" button is enclosed in a Fieldset in tpl_links_submit_default.php but not in tpl_links_default.php. I only need the "pastel" buttons to appear in tpl_links_submit_default.php and **not **in tpl_links_default.php. By naming the "pastel" buttons as button_submit_link.gif and button_link_help.gif, the "Submit Link" button with the pastel backgrd color wld be displayed in the "View All Links" page which is not what I need.

Incidentally, I also noticed that there is a button named "button_links_help.gif" in the mod. but have not found it used anywhere. May I know on which page I can locate it? Thanks.

open includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_links_submit_default.php

find the following sections and make the highlighted changes

<div class="forward"><?php echo '<a href="javascript:popupWindow(\'' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_POPUP_LINKS_HELP) . '\')">' . zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_LINK_HELP_PASTEL, BUTTON_LINK_HELP_ALT) . '</a><br /><br />'; ?></div>  

<div class="buttonRow forward"><?php echo zen_image_submit(BUTTON_IMAGE_SUBMIT_LINK_PASTEL, BUTTON_SUBMIT_LINK_ALT); ?></div>

Incidentally, I also noticed that there is a button named "button_links_help.gif" in the mod. but have not found it used anywhere. May I know on which page I can locate it?

This button is not used and can safely be deleted.

Links manager is an easy way to set up a links exchange program for your store.

when i run the 'upgrate'

i got this :

14 statements processed.
Error ERROR: Cannot insert configuration_key "PRODUCTS_OPTIONS_TYPE_SELECT" because it already exists
Error ERROR: Cannot insert configuration_key "UPLOAD_PREFIX" because it already exists
Error ERROR: Cannot insert configuration_key "TEXT_PREFIX" because it already exists
Error ERROR: Cannot insert configuration_key "IH_VERSION" because it already exists

It just means that those 4 statements have been ignored. It will have no effect on how the mod functions.

open includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_links_submit_default.php

find the following sections and make the highlighted changes

<img src="includes/templates/template_default/buttons/english/BUTTON_IMAGE_SUBMIT_LINK_PASTEL" alt="submit link" title=" submit link"/>

1. How can I make the code references those pastel buttons in my customized template?
2. How to make the defines "translate" into the buttons' name accordingly?

This button is not used and can safely be deleted. Will do.
Anxiously awaits your reply. Cheers.

Stenrique:

I've tested your suggestion and found that the image doesn't appear. Then I discovered that the reason is because the generated code is looking for the buttons' image in "template_default" (as shown in Red below) and that my defines are for some reason not "translated" into the buttons' name (shown in blue):

<img src="includes/templates/template_default/buttons/english/BUTTON_IMAGE_LINK_HELP_PASTEL" alt="submit link" title=" submit link"/>

>

<img src="includes/templates/template_default/buttons/english/BUTTON_IMAGE_SUBMIT_LINK_PASTEL" alt="submit link" title=" submit link"/>

Hi,

Clyde at the top of page 117 you posted a reply regarding my problem with my Links Submit getting a 403 error:

http://www.molliemoo.co.uk/index.php?main_page=links_submit&lPath=2

I have disabled the Magic SEO URL rewriting mod and I am still getting this error.

Do you have any other ideas? I have also been told that the SEO mod should not interfere if there are no rules defined for it.

thanks for your help.

The 403 error could be a server issue (check with your hosting provider)

It might also mean that the permissions on a particular file and/or folder need to be changed.

How can I get ride of the upload file warning. I configured the Display Link Banner Image to 0,
Default Link Image 0, I don't want a link image. I am changing my site from Osc to Zen Cart and I down loaded the latest links manager. v3-4-1 I checked the v3-4-0 it also have link images.

At the present time there is no switch to turn off the banner image field on the links submit page.

Removing the links banner feature would require deleting code in several files.

I configured the Display Link Banner Image to 0
This will prevent the display of banner images on the links display page.

This fix should take care of the problem.

I've added a switch in admin -> configuration -> links manager -> Show Banner Image Field (set this to false)

Unzip the package
run the included sql file from (admin -> tools -> install sql patches)
copy-and-paste the code into the query field and press 'Send'.

Rename the YOUR_TEMPLATE folder to match the name of your custom template (includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE)

Upload the entire includes folder to your server.
