Links Manager II

According to your posts and the errors, your shop is located in the catalog directory. So instead of it should be

Sorry for all the trouble, Im completly lost now and don't know what to try next. I had to remove the changes in column left, column right and catalog/includes/boxes/information because it made my boxes too wide and gave me other errors.

on my home page as seen below. I'm working with a live shop so I can't leave the errors on site.

I think you are probably uploading to the wrong place on the server. You need to make sure the files are where they should be.

Hello,

 

i just installed linkmanager II, in the Admin everything works fine, but when i click on link sin teh site the links.php page go blank.

 

what went wrong, i didnt make any changes to links.php

If you mean the whole page goes blank, then that is usually caused by uploading the links.php file that belongs in the english directory to the root directory.

You have to add the links manager files in the languages directories to any language you want to use.

Try setting the option in admin->Configuration->Links to load for all languages.

Hi Jack, this is a great contibution I am trying to set up the link info for simplicity

you recommend

 

define('LINK_NAME', 'Link Name');

define('LINK_DESCRIPTION', 'My home page sells the best products you can imagine.');

define('LINK_URL', 'http://www.myhomepage.com');

 

I have modified this to read

define('LINK_NAME', '' . STORE_NAME . '');

 

this works a treat and places the storename as a title

however what do I call to pull the stores description from HTC and what do i call for the stores URL

 

Thanks in advance

[Brian-Bear]

define('LINK_URL', ''. HTTP_SERVER .''); sorts out the website address, now just to figure out the description

Hi Jack

 

Thanks for LINK MANAGER II.

 

I am new to LM and have just installed it. I get the LINKS link on my home page and I can add a link. I also get the email notifications.

 

I am unable to approve the links. As far as I can tell, there should be a Links Manager section in the Admin page but I have nothing there. Where should I be looking to fix this?

 

cheers,

The keyword for the page should be the named used, in some fashion. That is almost never the store name so making that change would be a mistake, from an SEO point of view.

If you are not seeing a Links Manager link in admin, then you didn't complete the installation. You will need to go over the instructions again. Look for the change to the admin/includes/column_left.php file to start.

Jack,

 

Thanks for the rapid response. Is see my error(s)! I have confused the 'catalogue/admin/includes' and 'catalogue/includes' directories from time to time!

 

arrrghhhh!

[patrick101]

Okay, all files in the right places now!

 

I stall have an

 

Admin -> Configuration -> Links

 

but not an

 

Admin -> Links Manager II

 

Do I need to re-run setup? I have tried but got the message: Looks like Links Manager is already installed. Aborting...

If you have done the installation correctly, it may be that you have the admin access contribution installed. In that case, you have to enable the file before it display.

"admin access contribution"?? What's that? And how do I enable it?

[Jack_mcs]

You don't enable it. It is a contribution that controls how your admin is viewed by various members. If you don't have it installed, it is not the problem and needn't be concerned about. If you do, then you need to ask in its support thread as to how to use it. If you have it installed, there will be a administration section in your admin.

 

Jack

[patrick101]

Oh, I see. I don't have it installed then. It's a new installation of OSCommerce.

 

I'm not even sure what else I'm supposed to see! I have a 'Links' link below 'Sessions' in the Admin > Configuration section but this just does config settings. I'm looking for the bit where I can manage my link requests.

 

I also have a 'Links' link on my shop page for requesting a link (that works okay)

 

Any other suggestions?

You've missed a step in the installation. See my text regarding the left column.

Hi Jack,

 

Thanks for your patience.

 

I have the line

require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'links.php');

in admin/includes/column_left.php

 

Will I need to rerun setup following my initial errors?

Hi Jack, an inbound link is still what is achieved and yes it would be better with a keyword but this is like a default setting that can be fine tuned later, Do you know what pulls the default description from Header Tags Controller.

 

Can I make a suggetion, that you could enter your websites custom link details from admin in any updates of link manager 11

Change the line

require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'links.php');

to

require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'customers.php');

Does it show up?

An inbound link is of little use if not setup correctly. If you have header tags code installed in the head section of the page, then HEAD_DESC_TAG_DEFAULT will hold the default description. I didn't add the code for the site information in admin because it can't be added as an option in the links settings section. A new page would have to be created to handle it and I ran out of time for working on the project on this go-around.

No, it's made no difference, although customers.php is of course already there.
