Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

Got it! Thanks, Clyde.

But why does "Submit a Link" need SSL?

if (BOX_DISPLAY_SUBMIT_LINK == 'true') {
$content .= '<br /><a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_LINKS_SUBMIT, '', 'SSL') . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_LINKS_SUBMIT . '</a>';

Why not NONSSL?

Why not NONSSL?

because you're asking for customer information (name, email etc.) which should be submitted via SSL; just the same as creating an account.

Hi Clyde,

Just wondering if you have a change log available for Links Manager? This would come in handy as I'm about to upgrade from version v3.5.3a to v3.5.3c .

Thanks :smile:

Thanks :smile:

between a and c there were several bug fixes that affected multiple files.

Just open the upgrade folder and follow the instructions.

Don't forget to change the name(s) of the YOUR_ADMIN and YOUR_TEMPLATE folders.

Ok thanks Clyde :smile:

Clyde great contribution!! I do have one question though: How do I change the e-mail address that is being used by the links manager? (I want to use my link exchange e-mail address to protect myself from SPAM)

As you of course know, it's a bad idea to use your main e-mails in the link exchange business.

There are at least 2 or 3 posts in this thread that explain how to accomplish this. ( I just don't recall where )

Clyde,

I did several thread searches. The most rewarding was: "modify email address" and "change address"

I keep getting these posts (which are close but don't answer):
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?p=929287&highlight=change+address#post929287

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?p=774132&highlight=change+address#post774132 (number 5 answer is not clear).

My point is that in: admin>email options> there is not a links e-mail from: option. It uses the "Email Address (sent FROM)" option I believe. I use this address for my newsletters and e-mails I send from the admin panel. I am looking to give the links manager it's own e-mail address.

If it was answered in your post I could not find the answer via a search.

2 step process:

1. open includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/links_submit.php

add a new define statement

define('LINKS_MANAGER_EMAIL', 'your_email @ whatever.com');

2. open includes/modules/pages/links_submit/header_php.php

find the following STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS and replace each instance with LINKS_MANAGER_EMAIL

Thank you for your time clyde! That is exactly what I was looking for!

Hi Clyde,

When I try to delete a category which has links in (in my case a 'Test Links' category I need to delete) via:

admin>extras>Link Categories>Select Category To Delete Here>Delete Button>"Are you sure you want to delete this link category? Test Links WARNING: There are 2 links still linked to this category!">Click Delete Button again... this page shows up completely blank: myadminurl/link_categories.php?action=delete_confirm . The error I'm getting via debug is:

[08-Oct-2010 16:50:58] PHP Fatal error: Cannot use object of type queryFactoryResult as array in /home/xxx/public_html/my_admin_name_here/link_categories.php on line 84

I'm using Links Manager v3.5.3c with Zen Cart v1.3.9g

Any ideas?

Thanks :smile:

Have you tried moving the 2 links to another category before deleting the category?

Yep that worked. So for future reference, does that mean I can't delete a category if it has links in it - I have to either move or delete the individual links first?

Thanks.

Until I can check and correct the problem you describe(d), Yes, that would be the way to go.

Ok thanks for your help Clyde.

open includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_links_select.php

add the url to your new page under the "view all links" section.

Hi Clyde,

I tried to add this link to my links sidebox and the side box disappeared.

if (BOX_DISPLAY_VIEW_ALL_LINKS == 'true') {
$content .= '<br /><a href="http://www.Free-Link-Exchange.com' .(FILENAME_FREE_LINK_EXCHANGE, '', 'NONSSL') . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_FREE_LINK_EXCHANGE . '</a>';
}

am I doing it right.

check your cache folder for any myDEBUG log files and see what (if any) error message are being generated.

This is the error.

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ',' in /home/content/w/e/e/weezee/html/includes/templates/cherry_zen/sideboxes/tpl_links_select.php on line 22

I tried it and I still get the same: PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ',' in /home/content/w/e/e/weezee/html/includes/templates/cherry_zen/sideboxes/tpl_links_select.php on line 22

I tried this and now I am getting a PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING

$content .= '<br /><a href="http://www.Free-Link-Exchange.com . (FILENAME_FREE_LINK_EXCHANGE, 'NONSSL') . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_FREE_LINK_EXCHANGE . '</a>';
}

I have tried so many different ways and nothing works.
