Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

HI!

I have installed the module and ran the sql patch. When I go to the admin--configuration--Links Manager, it is all blank with only the titles title, value and action. And when I activate the sidebox from the layout boxes controller I get this error:

1146 Table 'littlefa_store.link_categories' doesn't exist
in:
[select lc.link_categories_id, lc.link_categories_sort_order, lcd.link_categories_id, lcd.link_categories_name from link_categories lc, link_categories_description lcd where lc.link_categories_status = '1' and lc.link_categories_id = lcd.link_categories_id and lcd.language_id = '1' order by lc.link_categories_sort_order, lcd.link_categories_name]

Can someone please help me to get this mod working?

Thanks,

Anne

Re: Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

I could try.

I didn't make any notes, and this is a complete hack! Maybe you could help me clean it up? I looks like it works on my site, so I'm happy.

It also keeps a track of the clicks to stop cheating :flex:

Database:
CREATE TABLE links_clicks ( site_id int(11) NOT NULL, click_time timestamp NOT NULL default CURRENT_TIMESTAMP on update CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, ip_adr varchar(30) NOT NULL, KEY site_id (site_id) ) ENGINE=MyISAM;

header file:

elseif (isset($_GET['links_url'])) {
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) $_GET['links_url'] = stripslashes($_GET['links_url']);
$links_url = 'http://'.mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['links_url']);
zen_update_links_click_count($links_url);
}

Functions:

//REMOVE HTTPS
function remove_http($url = '')
{
return(str_replace(array('http://','https://'), '', $url));
}
// Return the links url
function zen_get_links_url($identifier) {
global $db;
$link = $db->Execute("select links_id, links_url from " . TABLE_LINKS . " where links_id = '" . (int)$identifier . "'");
$url = remove_http($link->fields['links_url']);
$links_string = 'links?links_url='.$url;
return $links_string;
}
////

function zen_update_links_click_count($links_url) {
global $db;
$url = 'http://www.yoursite.com';
$result = $db->Execute("select links_id, links_url from " . TABLE_LINKS . " where links_url = '" . $links_url . "'");
if ($result->RecordCount() == 1) {
$url = $links_url;
$id = $result ->fields['links_id'];
$IP = mysql_real_escape_string($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
$time_diff = 36002414;
$test = $db->Execute("select COUNT(*) AS testval from " . TABLE_LINKS_CLICKS . " where ip_adr = '".$IP."' AND click_time+".$time_diff." > NOW() AND site_id = '".$id."'");

if ($test->fields['testval'] == 0) {
$db->Execute("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_LINKS_CLICKS . " set ip_adr = '".$IP."', site_id = '".(int)$id."' ");
$db->Execute("update " . TABLE_LINKS . " set links_clicked = links_clicked + 1 where links_id = '" . (int)$id . "'");
}
}
header("Location: $url");
exit;
}

define tag:

define('TABLE_LINKS_CLICKS', DB_PREFIX . 'links_clicks');


Can you zip up the files you edited and post them.

Re: Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

Hi Clyde, please can you help.

I installed Links Manager yesterday and am having the same problems as jwurster (#1447) had. Every time I try to add a link, link category etc. as soon as I click save or insert I'm returned to the main admin page with nothing added.

I've installed the Links_manager_admin_fix.zip file and both html_output.php's. In #1448 you refer to the latest updated security patch, is this an additional file? - the link goes to an invalid thread.

I've already uninstalled and reinstalled and am still having the same problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Al.

Re: Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

Thanks, it seems to be working now.

I'd already ran the security update in june so the only thing I changed was the html_output.php (the updated admin_html_output.php version was replaced with the security update html_output.php version). Not sure if this means anything.

Thanks,
Al.

That is correct the html_output.php in the security update is the one that should be used.

Re: Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

This is a great mod! I just loaded.

This is a very large post. I could not find information to issue I am having. Please refer to page if in post somewhere. I was not able to locate.

I am having difficulties with admin/extras for links, link categories and link contacts. It just takes me to page not found for each one. I double checked to make sure all files were loaded. Wondering if it is in sql file. I did copy/paste. I was able to turn sidebox on and see admin/conf/links manager details.

Thanks, Kim

This is a great mod! I just loaded.

This is a very large post. I could not find information to issue I am having. Please refer to page if in post somewhere. I was not able to locate.

I am having difficulties with admin/extras for links, link categories and link contacts. It just takes me to page not found for each one. I double checked to make sure all files were loaded. Wondering if it is in sql file. I did copy/paste. I was able to turn sidebox on and see admin/conf/links manager details.

Thanks, Kim

There are several posts in this thread that deal with e-mail issues. Do a search of the thread and you'll probably run across the answer.

Re: Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

Links Manger sounds great but I need more info before installing it on my site. If the following functions don't exist in Links Manager, can anybody suggest an alternative?

  1. If I require a reciprocal link page in Admin - does the program verify the reciprocal link exists?

  2. Is there a way to require link partners submit a reciprocal link to their primary domain (no third party link trades)?

  3. Is there a reciprocal links checker function I can run periodically to verify my link partners are still reciprocating?

  4. Is there a way to receive notification when a new link is posted to my site? Is there a way to approve the link BEFORE it is posted to my site?

  5. Is there a search box to help link partners find their link on my site?

  6. Does this program function within my Zen Cart template - same look and feel as my existing website? Where can I find a website with Links Manager installed so I can see it in action? I would love to see an example...

Not at the time the link is submitted

No

Yes, This is done in admin

You are notified by e-mail about new link submissions and ALL links must be approved before the are displayed on your site. Approval is done in admin.

The ZC search function searches for products not individual pages. However, There is a search add-on that will index your entire site.

Yes. You can check it out at my site (click the link in my signature)

Re: Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

Clyde-I installed Links Manager and it is so cool! However, I have a few questions. My site is not yet public so I will PM the exact URL to you.

I cannot change Configuration/Links Manager: Number of link categories per row. I get 3 categories per row no matter what number I enter.

How does Link Check Phrase work? Do you look at just the reciprocal page (not the entire URL) for this phrase? Would you suggest entering https://www.mysite.com or mysite.com or what?

Why doesn't the Category name display on my link pages?

Is there any way to NOT display the words "Title/Description" on my link pages?

How do I change my default Extras/Links Contact email address?

Extras/Links/Options: I am unable to change the Status from the pulldown menu - it just doesn't take. I CAN change Status with Extras/Links by clicking the colored dots.

Extras/Links/Options: What do I use Rating for? What does 0 signify?

I have read most of the forum, double-checked my installation, installed the latest security patch, the links manager admin fix, and the staruby fix. But obviously I am missing something...
