Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

Boognish:

I am using version 3.0.2 and I have two questions.

#1 Is the require "registered users" only can submit a link option in this version?

#2 Is there a way for the admin to determine if a reciprocal link is required for individual sites? For instance I would want to require a link to another business, but I wouldn't want a reciprocal link for some other sites/pages.

#1 - no it doesn't but you can run the following sql statement to add it.

copy and paste into admin -> tools -> install SQL patches

INSERT INTO configuration (NULL,'Only registered customers may submit a Link', 'REGISTERED_LINK', 'true', 'Only registered customers may submit a Link', 26, 17, NULL, now());

#2 - this option is either on or off for all links.

I'm having the same problem as IHHGBH. Turning on the links box just results in lines of jumbled text similar to IHHGBH where the box should be.

Try uploading a clean version of links_box.php to includes/modules/sideboxes/YOUR_TEMPLATE

I get a syntax error with that code. I tried:

INSERT INTO configuration values(NULL,'Only registered customers may submit a Link', 'REGISTERED_LINK', 'true', 'Only registered customers may submit a Link', 26, 17, NULL, now());

Try This

INSERT INTO 'configuration' VALUES (NULL,'Only registered customers may submit a Link', 'REGISTERED_LINK', 'true', 'Only registered customers may submit a Link', 26, 17, NULL, now());

none of that worked.. i looked at the php myadmin and the tables are there.. i also tried uploading a clean version of the link file and that did nothing.. Im just going to delete it off my site and do the link pages another way.. thanks for your help...

OK mine seems to be working now, ihhghb are you turning on the 'sideboxes/yourtemplate/links_box.php' under layout boxes controller not 'sideboxes/link_listing'?

What does 'reciprocal page details' mean? Does the links box only show when there are links as I deleted the zen cart link and the box dissapeared. Also I still get jumbled text when I switch on the 'sideboxes/link_listing? what does that one do and do I need it to have an operational links box?

Reciprocal Page: The absolute URL of your links page, where a link to our website will be listed/displayed.

The side box only shows (even if turned on in admin) when there are links.

URL for your site. so I can take a look.

The file structure should look like this:

includes/modules/link_listing.php
includes/modules/sideboxes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/links_box.php

I already deleted it, but I only had one link box that I could turn on in the layout boxes controller...mine said sideboxes/links_box and that was what i turned on..

includes/modules/link_listing.php
includes/modules/sideboxes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/links_box.php

I have that but I've also got includes/modules/sideboxes/links_box.php,
include/modules/sideboxes/link_listing.php and includes/modules/sideboxes/links_boxes.php.

Which of the files in links manager contained the info for the zencart link as I deleted that link and now wish I hadn't. I want to reinstall that file so I can look at the zencart link details as I'm having trouble getting any links to work.

Hi Clyde,

I read earlier in the thread you were thinking of changing the links so they were not redirects anymore but actual links. Like when you hover over them they are a direct link.

I've been having problems with that too.

Is it difficult to change?

I have 2 questions, please.

1. How/where do I change the title of the Links box for Link Manger 3.0?

2. On your test site, Clyde, you have your category pics at 80 x 80 px. i would like mine somewhat larger. Where do I tell it the size of my images for the links category page?

many thanks,
Shirley

1. includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/links.php

define('BOX_HEADING_LINK_CATEGORIES', 'Links');

2. I created the images at that size. Most people have their own ideas for category images and will create their own. Soooo, you'll have to create the images at the size you want.

Thank you, Clyde........great mod!

as for my question #2, I have already created my images for the links categories.........but when I upload them via the Admin>Extras>Link Categories they show teeny tiny on the page for Links (about 43 px) and it was uploaded as 200px.

Where do I go to correct that, please?

many thanks,
Shirley

My first thought is to check admin -> configuration -> images

make sure calculate image size is set to true

and that

Category Icon Image Width - Product Info Pages

Category Icon Image Height - Product Info Pages

are set to the height and width of your images

See if that helps

Calculate image size was already set to true

and that

Category Icon Image Width - Product Info Pages (I set to 200px)

Category Icon Image Height - Product Info Pages (I set to 261px)

Unfortunately, no change occurred.

Might this have to be a new statement added to the CSS? Just guessing....:(

many thanks,
Shirley
