Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

CustomBooks:

Is there any way to put the "View All Links" link in a tab at the top of the page? So the top of the page would have tabs labeled "Home" "Log Out" "Links" "Contact Us" "My Account" "Checkout"... How to do this?

open includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php

AND

add additional links to suit your needs.

Can you be more specific as to what code to insert where in this file? I don't know how to make the Link tab. Here's my preferred order for the top tabs: (Home-Contact Us-Links (on the left side) followed by Log In/Out-My Account-Checkout-View Cart (on the right side).

Since this involves making changes to your template files it should be posted in the appropriate support thread for the template you are using.

Will do! Sometimes the problem seems to cross forum threads, such as this - I still need to know how to make a Links tab to point to Link Managers' "View All Links"...what is the link code for "View All Links" ?

Hi Clyde,

How can I change the color of the 'Image Title/Description' titles on the links page? It's currently black.

Also I noticed you released V3.5.2 recently, what are the changes made? and also are their any special requirements when upgrading?

Thanks.

open includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/links.css

add the following declaration:

.productListing-heading {
color: #000; /* change this to your selected color*/
}

most of the changes were made to the admin side of the mod including changing "file-open" to use a curl option to obtain url information.

Just follow the upgrade instructions.

Nice one,

cheers Clyde :smile:

First off, thanks very much for making this mod available and providing support.

The install went smoothly. The one problem that I have is getting category descriptions to show up. I've searched through this thread, looked through the php files included with the mod, checked my database to ensure that the descriptions are showing up at least there, but I'm stymied (and my knowledge of php, mysql, and the 'under the hood' stuff is pretty limited).

I've created a couple of categories and entered descriptions. When I click on a category, the links show up fine, but instead of the description I get this:

This content is located in the file at: /languages/english/html_includes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/define_links.php

You can quickly edit this content via Admin->Tools->Define Pages Editor, and select define_links from the pulldown.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That text is from the define_links.php file and has nothing to do with the category descriptions

Thank you very much for your prompt reply.

I know that the define_links.php file has nothing to do with the category descriptions. What I don't understand is why that is showing up rather than the category description I've entered when I click on a links category. That is my problem and why I made my initial post.

open includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_links_default.php

find the following section of code:

<div class="linkstext"><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_LINKS, $lPath_new); ?>">
       <?php if (zen_not_null($categories_query->fields['link_categories_image'])) {
          echo zen_links_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $categories_query->fields['link_categories_image'], $categories_query->fields['link_categories_name'], LINK_CATEGORY_IMAGE_WIDTH, LINK_CATEGORY_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '<br />';
        } else {
          echo zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'pixel_trans.gif', $categories_query->fields['link_categories_name'], LINK_CATEGORY_IMAGE_WIDTH, LINK_CATEGORY_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '<br />';
        } ?>
<?php echo $categories_query->fields['link_categories_name']; ?></a></div>

and replace it with the following:

<div class="linkstext"><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_LINKS, $lPath_new); ?>">
       <?php if (zen_not_null($categories_query->fields['link_categories_image'])) {
          echo zen_links_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $categories_query->fields['link_categories_image'], $categories_query->fields['link_categories_name'], LINK_CATEGORY_IMAGE_WIDTH, LINK_CATEGORY_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '<br />';
        } else {
          echo zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'pixel_trans.gif', $categories_query->fields['link_categories_name'], LINK_CATEGORY_IMAGE_WIDTH, LINK_CATEGORY_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '<br />';
        } ?>
<?php echo $categories_query->fields['link_categories_name']; ?></a><br /><?php echo $categories_query->fields['link_categories_description']; ?></div>

Thanks very much, once again.

Making the suggested change gets rid of that odd define_links.php text showing up where my category description should be. But the links in the category also disappear and the links description still isn't showing up.

Essentially, clicking on a category in the links box now takes me to a blank page.

A link to your site would be really useful about now.

clydejones:

As far as I know there should be no problems running these together.
Links Manager uses its own images so should not interfere with the operation of either of the other mods.

You might want to check the support thread(s) for lightbox and Slimbox.

I am having the same problem and have narrowed it down to the sidebox. When the LINKS sidebox is turned ON the lightbox will not work, but when the sidebox is turned OFF it works OK. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Fair enough. I've installed this mod on two sites and have the same problem on both. I haven't had the links box turned on because of this problem- don't want to confuse my customers. But I just turned it on and you can see it here as originally installed without the edit to the php file that you suggested:

**Links Manager**

And this is how it appears with the edit:

**Links Manager php edit**

You'll also notice that all of my righthand side boxes have disappeared after making the change. This is a very lightly modified install of ZC, mostly on the admin side- Ultimate SEO, stock by attribute, and not much else.

Thanks once again. Your time, patience, and help are greatly appreciated.

You can see how I have links manager set up here

For the blank page download and install the Debug Error Logging Utility

Hey, everyone,

I just installed the contribution, and have added link categories and links to test it out. While added links work well, there is a problem with new established link categories - I can NOT upload a picture for link category. Is there anything wrong with my installation. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

in admin -> configuration -> links manager

what are your settings for the following:
Link Category Image Directory link_category/
Image - Link Category Height 80
Image - Link Category Width 80

When adding a new category you should be able to browse to an image on your computer and then click the save button.

Attachment #7267

Thank you, Clyde;

I checked the setting of links manager as you mentioned, there is no difference. And when adding a new category, I do can browse pictures on my local computer, but after clicking the save botton, the picture can NOT be upload. On the right-hand side of MOD, there is indication "Image doesn't exist".

When I installed the Links Manager SQL, 7 SQL queries could not be excuted and indicated these queries existed. Is there anything problem with my installation? (Before installing this contribution, I have installed other MODs)

Thanks!

If this was a new installation of links manager, I'm not sure why you would receive an error saying that 7 of the sql statements already existed.
