Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

pixelpadre:

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

Thanks

use the "blank sidebox" mod

clydejones:

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.

Hi Clyde,

I was hoping too that this was the fix but is not. Just tested it and no change once the sidebox is activated the Slimbox dies.

It has something to do with the Links sidebox but I have looked as well through the files (comparisons etc) but could not find anything.

That's a total weird one.

Hi Clyde,

I have found the culprit but I don't know how to fix it so you may have a solution. The problem is in the form in sidebox template file tpl_links_select.php (in the templates folder).

The following form code produces the error:

$content.= zen_draw_form('links', zen_href_link(FILENAME_LINKS, '', 'NONSSL', false), 'get');
$content .= zen_draw_pull_down_menu('lPath', $links_array, (isset($_GET['lPath']) ? $_GET['lPath'] : ''), 'onchange="this.form.submit();" size="' . MAX_LINKS_LIST . '" style="width: 90%; margin: auto;"') . zen_hide_session_id();
$content .= zen_draw_hidden_field('main_page', FILENAME_LINKS) . '</form>';

If I remove the form element above then the sidebox still works with only the the text links to view and submit and the Slimbox works fine as well. So it is the code used above that causes it but don't know why.

Hope that will help you to figure it out and help us :D

The following is the code from the manufacturers sidebox tpl_manufacturers_select.php. I can't see any difference between the the two.

$content.= zen_draw_form('manufacturers_form', zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, '', $request_type, false), 'get');
$content .= zen_draw_hidden_field('main_page', FILENAME_DEFAULT);
$content .= zen_draw_pull_down_menu('manufacturers_id', $manufacturer_sidebox_array, (isset($_GET['manufacturers_id']) ? $_GET['manufacturers_id'] : ''), 'onchange="this.form.submit();" size="' . MAX_MANUFACTURERS_LIST . '" style="width: 90%; margin: auto;"') . zen_hide_session_id();
$content .= '</form>';

Does that mean that if you use the manufactures sidebox, lightbox (slimbox) doesn't work?

Hi Clyde

Sorry but manufactures sidebox does not affect the Slimbox. Just tested it and Slimbox worked fine until I turned on Links sidebox.

I have also looked at it and other sideboxes and the only difference that I could find was that you use $request_type and lPath. So I did remove the lines and basically just left the opening and closing lines for the form creation. Still the Slimbox didn't work. So it is ( I think) the form creation component that creates the problem but I have no idea why.

I will play a bit around later got to go now but will let you know if I figure anything else.

PS. you can see the slimbox working here http://conderosa.mybusiness-hosting.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=43_49&products_id=4

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

Opened includes/modules/pages/popup_links_help and renamed jscript_main.php to jscript_main.php.bak

Then enabled Links sidebox and tested Zen Lightbox.

Result: Zen Lightbox stops working :shocking:

Hi Clyde

Found the bug and fixed it :-)

In /includes/templates/your_template_/sideboxes/tpl_links_select.php

Replace line 14:

$content.= zen_draw_form('links', zen_href_link(FILENAME_LINKS, '', 'NONSSL', false), 'get');

With:

$content.= zen_draw_form('links_form', zen_href_link(FILENAME_LINKS, '', 'NONSSL', false), 'get');

Hope that helps few people but thanks does goes to Clyde for this great module.

I'll make sure this gets included in the next upgrade of the module.

Hello,
I would like to remove the category images and have the titles stack in one column. How would I do this?

Links Page

Thanks for the help!

Without some extensive re-writing what you want to do is not possible.

Thank you Clyde

Sorry to hear that. I do like Link Manager very much tho. Thanks Clyde.

clydejones:

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

Clyde,

I have the same problem as SWLady, the text in the email is showing twice. I checked everything but can't find the reason.:(

Hi,

Just upgraded zen cart from v1.3.7 to v1.3.9c. Thinking to reinstalling links manager. When this is done, how do I import all the old links from the previous version of links manager to the latest version?

Hi Clyde,

PLEASEEEEE help as I am going crazy. I have just noticed that on a multilingual site the module breaks giving me the "Object of class queryFactoryResult could not be converted to string" in html_output.php

Let me though explain:
Zen Cart v1.38
Link manager v3.5.2
Latest Security patches applied
Multi-lingual (6 languages)
Links can be submitted no problem at all

In Admin I can go in the English language and when I do in Edit the last drop down menu that allows to change the status works perfectly. I can select Approve and Update and everything is fine.

When I change the language though to any of the other languages there is an empty drop down menu at the Edit page and if I click the Update get the queryFactoryResult error.

I have tried the html_output_admin.zip updates in the earliest posts plus search the whole forum and tried every solution that I couldfind even if they were related to different modules. Nothing works.

Any idea will greatly help

The links are stored in the database. That being the case, you shouldn't have to reinstall links manager at all just upgrade to the most recent version.

Do you have any links that are in any of the 5 additional languages or only in English?

link to your site?

Yes I have added links in the other languages and created categories for each of the languages. Everything works fine. It is only when I go to Approve the link that the error comes up.

So the link shows up but can not be approved. Also the links are different for each language so there is no mix up between them.

Try uploading the security patch from this thread and see if that corrects the problem.
