Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

Glamorousshoe:

Thanks for the quick response.
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.

#1: Open includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php
find the following section of code and delete or comment out the highlighted portion:

<div class="clearBoth"></div>
<!--eof-branding display-->

<!--bof-navigation display-->

#2: add the following declaration to your stylesheet.css (includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/stylesheet.css)

#ezPageDefault p {
padding: 0 10px;
}

I have a question sorry if it's all ready answered but there so many threads here, the module looks great when you set up a link it asks for a Reciprocal Page a URL http://www.domain.com/links.php, now does this mean that the other site has to have this module installed for this to work, or can you just place a file on the other server? and when requesting links from others what links.php do I give them /includes/languages/english/template/links.php is that the right one?

Reciprocal Page: The absolute URL of your links page, where a link to our website will be listed/displayed.
Eg: http:// your-domain .com/path/to/your/links_page.*

In other words if I go to your site and create a link to my site I would put something like this in the Reciprocal Page field:

http:// www. domain.com/index.php?main_page=links&lPath=6

This is where I've placed the link to your site on my site.

If I don't have the module installed I would still use something similar such as:
http:// www.domain .com/my_links_page.*

Hope this helps

I seem to have a problem the module showed up in admin under configuration and extras but there no sidebox, any ideas?

pete

I found the problem, forgot to change one of the template directories.

thanks pete

I have installed this mod (new install) and when I try the uninstall_links_manager.sql to uninstall it, there are errors. I can't uninstall it. It gives me these errors:

You don't need to worry about those errors. They are just indicating that those particular configuration keys already exist and they were ignored.

If you check for admin -> configuration -> links manager you will find that the uninstall worked because the "Links Manager" entry should not be there.

Thank you Clyde. But how about the 'Links/Categories/Contact' under admin > extras ? How do I remove it?

I actually like this mod. But I wish I could add meta title to each page and also has some nice url.

Thanks again Clyde. Everything has been removed successfully except for one thing. Under admin > tools > layout boxes controller it shows the sideboxes/links_box.php is missing and highlighted it with red. How do I remove this missing box alert from admin?

Hi,

Is there a setting where one can set the max. limit to the description field? Looking within Admin->Links Manager, I only see the setting "Link Description Minimum Length".

With the above-mentioned change, I would have to change the current "Description: *" field to something like "Description: (1000 characters limit) *". Any advice on which file(s) do I have to make the change to?

Thanks.

As I mentioned in a previous post, currently there is no option for this.

If you want to wait a few days, I'll be posting an updated version that will have this as an option.

Version 3.5.0 of Links Manager is now available in the downloads section.

Updated to provide better accessibility for those who use assistive devices or text-only browsers.

Links Manager admin options:
NEW * Set Maximum length of the Link Description
NEW * Set Maximum length of the Link Title
NEW * Show store name and address on Submit Link page

And for those using captcha here's the 3.5 fix.

Please note: this will work only with version 3.5.0 of Links Manager.

Make sure you have the captcha Mod Installed

Upgrade to the 3.5.0 version of Links Manager.

Unzip the file, Rename the YOUR_TEMPLATE folder to match the name of your custom template, upload the entire includes folder to your server.

Hello, just installed Link Manager 3.5.0 but as attached scresn shots I have problem.

1. For handling category, LM3.5.0 work just normally as zen cart module which handle multi language.

But input and editing links,

2. Only shows link format in selected language. If you are English side, then English link form shown, and if try to input from Japanese side then Japanese data form only shown. This is the same both front end and back end.

(In case I input data in Japanese side,)

3. At admin link list window, data made in Japanese side is not shown at English side and vice versa. (Yes, no sql data for another end because no form shown so no way to input.)

4. I feel both language should be able to be input at each language side. (Just like ezpages in multi language mode.)

My question is,

Q1. Is this simply my installation error? Then where to check?

Q2. If this is correct installation then how to manage both language in link? I have customer from many countries that must serve in both language......

Any idea welcome...........

:oops:

This is not an installation error.

For now You'll just have to enter information in the appropriate language.

Hello, thank you for reply.

Could you instruct me more in detail what should I do?
I can easily understand if the link form is shown in both language like category. (As attached.)

It seems that I can input only one language per link record???

What I did: Translate admin/languages/english & include/language/english files into Japanese, and put the both language under both English & Japanese folder.

I checked this thread and could not find clear instruction.....

Thank you.

When you are in admin, You just need to choose your language (Japanese or English) then select links from the extras menu. Enter a new link and save it.
