Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

Clyde,

I can make sure that was my first time to install the contribution. I got a snapshot of error statement, could you take a look at it and give some advice.

Sorry, Clyde,

I can not upload the picture. So I copy the error statement below:

63 statements processed.
ERROR: Cannot insert configuration_key "PRODUCTS_OPTIONS_TYPE_SELECT" because it already exists
ERROR: Cannot insert configuration_key "UPLOAD_PREFIX" because it already exists
ERROR: Cannot insert configuration_key "TEXT_PREFIX" because it already exists
ERROR: Cannot insert configuration_key "IH_VERSION" because it already exists
ERROR: Cannot insert configuration_key "IH_VERSION" because it already exists
Note: 4 statements ignored. See "upgrade_exceptions" table for additional details.

If I had a nickle for every time these errors have been discussed in this thread...

Don't worry, they mean exactly what they say; the statements were ignored because the information already exists in the database.

An upgraded version of Links Manager compatible with ZC v1.3.9 should be available in the downloads section shortly.

Does anyone know why the Link Categories, category description does not display on the links pages? I've seen similar posts but it looks like the answers have caused blank pages.

If you had this problem and fixed it, please could you let me know how.

Thanks
Suekay

This should take care of this issue.

Just unzip the package, rename the YOUR_TEMPLATE folder (includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE) to match the name of your custom template, and FTP the entire includes folder to your server.

Hi all,

Clyde, your add ons are great! Thanks so much!

I have just installed the Links Manager v 3.5.2. I am running v 1.38a of Zen Cart. It all seems to be working fine except the emails that are sent out upon submitting and consequently approving a link.

The email that is sent upon submitting has "Your link was successfully submitted" that whole section is repeated twice. The other issue is there is no spacing on either of the emails, it all just runs together.

I did search this thread for the issue and found it. Problem is those replies have a link to a fix and the link is no longer active.

Can some one help me? I am just not sure how to fix these 2 problems.

Thanks!

Try this.

Just unzip the package, rename the YOUR_TEMPLATE folder (includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE) to match the name of your custom template, upload/FTP the entire includes folder to your server.

Wow Clyde, you are really fast!

I downloaded the new file and ftp'd it as you said. I am still showing the text in the email twice as copied below:

This is the same problem I was having before downloading and copying your fix to my includes/languages/english/silverfish directory. I have also double checked... and that file is not duplicated anywhere else.

Thanks again!
Kathy

I'll do some checking and see if I can duplicate the problem.

BE AWARE!!!!

Lightbox 1.5 (or Slimbox) & Link Manager 3.0 DO NOT WORK TOGETHER!!!!

Many other posts have said the same thing, yet none have been answered (that I can see) in either support forum. The Zen Cart community needs an Add-On Incompatibility List somewhere. If I can't find one, I'm going to start one myself.

I've had Lightbox running smoothly for a while now. If the Link Manager 3.0 Layout Box is enabled, Lightbox will no longer work at all - larger image simply comes up in it's own browser window.

I have spent hours trying to determine why, as both add-ons have no files or database elements in common that I can see?? I suppose it is a conflicting variable somewhere that both use, but I'm a rather novice programmer.

I've seen this problem mentioned by other people in both the Lightbox/Slimbox and Link Manager support threads, but I don't see any resolution anywhere.

For now, I am forced to leave Link Manager turned off so that Lightbox will continue to work. Very sad, as I like both contributions very much. :no:

Links Manager uses its own file set and images and does not touch any of the Zen Cart core files.

In particular, it doesn't use or reference any of the files used by either lightbox or slimbox.

Same problem here, Clyde. Can't make head nor tail out of this. Running 1.3.9b on https://www.chilloutfashions.com.au and had to disable the Links sidebox.

That is especially embarrassing as I have links exchanged with your site. However, we are selling products and not links. Having said that, I want both mods on our site :yes:

Since neither of these mods are using the same files, could there be a clash in the sql patches ??

Frank

Temporary solution: :P

1. disable Links Sidebox
2. create EZ pages links

index.php?main_page=links_submit

index.php?main_page=links

and both mods are working :smartalec:

Clyde,

Is there any chance you will at least look into the problem? Zen Lightbox has been downloaded over 32,000 times and is a favorite of among the ZC community, yet your Link Manager mod breaks it for anyone who tries to use both together. I really like your mod because it allows other affiliate link categories to be displayed on any page on their site via a sidebox. I'm trying to go the "grass roots" advertising route and your mod is a great addition to help people raise their native search engine rankings. I want to donate, but not if it breaks Lightbox.

Will you at least take a look at the incompatibility problem that has been identified by several people? We're not crazy, and the problem is repeatable and undeniable. Something is going on - a similar function name? a conflict somewhere? Hell, I've even seen where a missing semicolon can cause weirdness on this scale. I have several other sidebox mods on my site, and none of them cause the behavior Link Manager does.

All I want to know is that you're willing to take a look at the problem. I've asked Alex Clarke (the creator of Zen Lightbox) to do the same thing.

One thing to note. This incompatibility has been reported by people using early versions of Lightbox (called Slimbox) too, therefore the incompatibility may have to do with common "Mootools" files used by both??

Links manager does not use "mootools" or "jquery" nor does it reference any files used by lightbox (slimbox).

Links Manager uses its own file set and images and does not touch any of the Zen Cart core files.

Yes, will at least look into the problem.

Here's the fix;

open includes/modules/pages/popup_links_help

delete the following file:

jscript_main.php

This fix will be included in the next update of Link Manager

Is there a mod that will create a sidebox where i can put exclusively external links to my other websites?

Thanks

Thanks Clyde for the fix.. :smile:

Thanks Clyde for the fix.. :smile:

That's the only section of Link Manager that I can think of that might cause the conflict.

But note that it is not called by the sidebox.
