Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

Hi, clydejones

Many thanks for all your help to solve so many problems.

I also installed this mod. but was confused how to use it.

ex. when requesting link exchange with others, i have to add partner's code to my site, maybe add to my liks category page 1.
(on my linkd page, i created links category page 1, 2, 3........through AdminPHP)

In this case, where shoud i add my partner's code?
Thanks for your kind response.

Categories can be added through:

admin -> extras -> link categories

Once they have been added and activated, links can be added either through

admin-> extras -> links

or from the

links submit page

in either case you select the category where you want to place the link from the dropdown menu.

The program will place the link(s) where they belong.

Judging from the code above, Your "link partner" is asking you to insert a complete page on your site.

This is not possible using links manager.

All you really need is:

site title
site url
site description

And the other required fields on the form in either

admin -> extras -> links

or the

links submit page.

Re: Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

Hey Clyde,

I've installed the link manager, have categories setup and on, but when I tried to submit a link, I got a 404. Any clue what I'm doing wrong? I've read some of this thread but it's so long that I'm lost!

Re: Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

Hi all - I installed this excellent mod with the sidebox in my right hand column. It all seems to work fine except for the submit link form. It works but it is too wide - it pushes my right hand sidebox column over to the right by about 50 pixels or so.

Any ideas please?

EDIT: After doing some digging it is the width of the field links_image_url that is causing the problem - how do I change it?

Re: Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

Hi All,

I have recently installed this mod on my site. I have found a problem and wondered who might be able to help me?

When I go to admin->extras->links and try to add a link, there isn't a place to submit the info. I have the form, but no submit button. In addition there is an error on the bottom of the page that reads, "Options
Status: Catchable fatal error: Object of class queryFactoryResult could not be converted to string in ..........com/admin/includes/functions/html_output.php on line 333 "

I'm not sure what to do with this error........HELP!!!

Also, is there a way to not require a reciprocal link?

This post should help

Also, is there a way to not require a reciprocal link?

admin -> configuration -> links manager

Just turn the option off

Re: Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

I have an issue with the way the categories are displayed in the center colum. The CSS included with the mod is correct but I can't get the output on the site to match the CSS.

I have the link manager configured to display 3 categories per row. But the output on the site is one column I even added 4 categories and still get only one column. I am not using the original css so I have changed some of the classes to match my templete but I didn't do anything to the module files so It should work fine. I integrated the stylesheets with my original Stylesheet.

Please let me know if there is a fix for that before I continue implementing the classes of my templete in this mod's templete.

This is the code with the correct classes which will give you the three across display:

This is the css for this display:

.linkstext{padding: 10px 0;float:left;width:33%;text-align:center;font-size:1em;}
<h1>Links</h1>

[B]<div class="linkstext">[/B]<a href="http://www.mysticmountainnaturals.com/demotest/index.php?main_page=links&lPath=6">
       <img src="images/link_category/bath_beauty.png" alt="Bath and Beauty" title=" Bath and Beauty " width="80" height="80" /><br />Bath and Beauty</a></div>
<div class="linkstext"><a href="http://www.mysticmountainnaturals.com/demotest/index.php?main_page=links&lPath=8">
       <img src="images/link_category/candles.png" alt="Candles" title=" Candles " width="80" height="80" /><br />Candles</a></div>
<div class="linkstext"><a href="http://www.mysticmountainnaturals.com/demotest/index.php?main_page=links&lPath=10">
       <img src="images/link_category/computers.png" alt="Computers, Electronics, Gadgets" title=" Computers, Electronics, Gadgets " width="80" height="80" /><br />Computers, Electronics, Gadgets</a></div>

Your display is as follows:
If you are going to use this <div class="content"> you will have to define the content class in the stylesheet so that it will out put the proper display:

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

However doing this will have an effect on other pages which use the content class for display.

My recommendation would be to use the class="linkstext" instead of the class="content"

<h1>Links</h1>
[B]<div class="content">[/B]<a href="http://www.coolcarpartsonline.com/index.php?main_page=links&lPath=1">
       <img src="images/link_category/Automotive_Category_image.bmp" alt="Automotive" title=" Automotive " width="80" height="60" /><br /><div class="linkboxcontent">Automotive</div></a></div>
<div class="content"><a href="http://www.coolcarpartsonline.com/index.php?main_page=links&lPath=2">
       <img src="images/pixel_trans.gif" alt="Business" title=" Business " width="1" height="1" /><br /><div class="linkboxcontent">Business</div></a></div>
<div class="content"><a href="http://www.coolcarpartsonline.com/index.php?main_page=links&lPath=3">

2 other questions.
If you take a look at this link: http://www.coolcarpartsonline.com/links.html?lPath=1 How can I adjust the padding in the left side?
Also the header have switched down after playing with the css i added for this mod. This will only show in FF not IE. There is a gap added between the nabigation and the logo wrapper I don't know how to get rid of it.
