johnnybebad Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Started from scratch updated the links_setup file as suggested worked. What happened previously is I had to change the permissions from 644 to 777 to edit the file, once edited and saved changed the permissions back to 644. So when I thought I had changed it previously, I hadn't actuall changed it at all. Quote Getting better with mods but no programmer am I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Great contribution! It literally only took minutes to do the installation. The only "bug" I ran into had already been discussed in the forum (which naturally I did not read until after I added the ,'1'). Did a couple tweaks to suit my preferences (try that with proprietary software). Great job folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack_mcs Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 With templates like the one you are using, you won't be able to use the files supplied for the shop side without editing them so that they match your site. Typically, the files will at least load though. But they try to load the left column, which you don't use and that is probably causing the problem.

Jack_mcs Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 Do you get the same error if you upload the links.php file included with the package? If not, then there was a mistake made in editing.

wildchief Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Hello Jack, I uploaded the latest files and i have used the links_db_update.php but i get that error. Was that not the the correct way to do the upgrade? Thank you Dave Do you get the same error if you upload the links.php file included with the package?

Jack_mcs Posted December 28, 2008 Author Share Posted December 28, 2008 V 1.07 was released in May of 2005. There have been many, many changes since then. I don't know what would be needed to upgrade from there. It would be best to treat this as a new install since there are several new file changes that have to be made. All of your existing Links Manager files will have to be replaced with those from the latest version. The db_update file just updates the Links Manager settings section in admin->Configuration. There will be other database changes needed. If you know how to manually edit a database, then you can do that to get it upgraded. Otherwise, you can go through each upgrade file since your version and make the changes detailed there.

wildchief Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Hi Jack Thank you for replying. I simply made the chages t othe DB listed in the Update_Docs folders and this fixed it. I wrongly assumed the upgrade DB file did it all for me. Thank you I have a fully functioning links manager! Cheers V 1.07 was released in May of 2005. There have been many, many changes since then.

Jack_mcs Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 It's most likely your configure file is setup incorrectly. That's not a subject for here though. You will need to post that problem along with your configure file, minue the login parts, in the general forum.

TracyS Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Just installed this on the test server and all went well, but I am wondering a couple things: 1) Is there a way to display links without having categories? Right now we don't have many links to display, so it seems silly to have to click "Links" and then click a category in order to see the links. 2) Is there a way to have more than one "Featured Link" in the Featured Links box (includes/boxes/links.php). It would be nice if it would scroll through however many links you want to have marked as featured. Right now it seems to only display one link in the box (even though the title of the box is plural). BTW- This looks like a great contribution! Oh - I did have one error (installed v1.21 Nov 30 2008 upload) and it was a clean install. The links_setup.php file is apparently missing a spot for language_id in one of the "insert" tags. I don't remember the exact error, but I found the line of code and added a , ' ' in front of the ending ) and then it seemed to work. If this sounds familiar to anyone, and I've done this incorrectly, please let me know. I figured I'd research through this board tomorrow when I have more time ;) Quote ~Tracy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack_mcs Posted December 31, 2008 Author Share Posted December 31, 2008 The "Down for maintenance" message is due to another contribution you have installed. It might be causing the other problem. I don't think the Links Manager code is causing it, but I could be wrong. You should fix the obvious first though.

TracyS Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Change the setting in admin->Configuration->Links for that option. The featured box randomply displays the links. It can't show more than one with the current code. I will look into changing that though. This was go over many times in the last few pages. I will upload a fixed version to stop this from happening though. Jack Hi Jack, Thank you for the quick answers! I did change my settings in admin->Configuration->Links to "False" for "Display Links in Categories". I double checked my database and ensured that the change had been correctly made to the configuration table. But when I try to add a link I get an error message at the top of the page in admin stating that I must have a category before I can add a link. If I add a category and then put links into that category - the catalog/links.php page does not show the categories or the links. Normally I am not completely inept - but I'm wondering if I missed something simple here - LOL :blush: I have my includes/boxes/specials.php set to scroll through multiple items rather than displaying just one - so I'll check and see if I can utilize some of that code in includes/boxes/links.php so Special Features can show more than one link. I will read through the board here throughout the day as well to catch up on the already posted fixes - was too late when I got things up and running last night to do that ;) Quote ~Tracy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_mcs Posted December 31, 2008 Author Share Posted December 31, 2008 Yes, you have to assign the link to a category.

TracyS Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Yes, you have to assign the link to a category. Jack Ok - but with them assigned to a category they don't show up on the catalog/links.php page with show categories set to false in the admin. I can find the <?php if (LINKS_SHOW_CATEGORIES == 'True') { ?> in catalog/links.php but I cannot find any else statement for this, or an if (LINKS_SHOW_CATEGORIES == 'False') { statement - am I missing something?
