digital-warfare Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Hi, I love the contribution, its a great help. But (theres always a but!) could you tell me how to make the links direct instead of redirecting them please? I use a website that uses a spider to check that the link is present on my site, but as it uses a redirect it cannot find the link, and thus not allowing me to share the links. Thanks for any help. And thanks VJ for a brill contribution!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digital-warfare Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Also the Spider Friendly Links feature on the admin screen doesn't actually do anything at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_mcs Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 For the links question, turn on the Click Count option in admin->Links. For the other, that has nothing to do with Links Manager. I'm not sure what you are expecting it to do but it doesn't work properly anyway and should not be used. If you have a question about it, please post a question in the general forum.

digital-warfare Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Thanks but you actually need to turn off the Click Count option in admin->Links. As for the Spider Friendly Links feature it does ave something to do with this contrib its in the same location as the Click Count option, actually its the next option down then that.

Jack_mcs Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Yes, that is correct about the click count. That question gets asked so often I don't give the answer much thought. The spider friendly option is used for check for spiders but only when Click Count is on.

digital-warfare Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Ok thanks, i did read through the majority of the threads but I did not see the answer or question. But thanks anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugoboss Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 You can't get rid of the categories without rewriting the code. But you can link to directly. Just visit the page that has your links in it to get the url. Then edit the Links url in the Information box, or wherever you have it, to go straight to that page. You would want to remove the link for categories on that page most likely too. Jack Thank you jack, but how do receive link requests if I do this? Can 'linkers' still request their link somewhere?

DriWashSolutions Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 When turning off the "Click Count", I would think that this column should not be displayed on the links pages, but on my site, it still does. Is this a bug or a feature? Quote John Skurka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_mcs Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Thank you jack, but how do receive link requests if I do this? Can 'linkers' still request their link somewhere?HS Link requests are reached with a different url so you could still provde a direct link to that section of code.

Jack_mcs Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 I can't test it right now but try define('FILENAME_LINKS', '?lPath=1'); If that doesn't work, compare the link it creates with the actual link displayed when you visit the page to find the difference.

DriWashSolutions Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 One other question. When submitting a link on my site, the /links_submit_success.php pages wants to come up on the secure side of my server (https:) rather than the unsecure (http:) side. Any ideas why this might be?

I never noticed that before but it is from the orignal release. My guess is that the author copied checkout success and it has the code for ssl. In links_submit.php there is a redirect to the links_submit_success.php page. It has ssl set. You could change that to NONSSL and see how it works.

I jsut tested the following and it works. Paste this code in the very bottom of your includes/column_left.php file to test it: <tr> <td align="center" class="main"> <?php echo '<a title="Links" href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_LINKS, 'lPath=1', 'NONSSL') .

Guest Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 is it possible to send different emails according to the status you select? for instance: if link is "denied", send them info on how to get their listing approved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_mcs Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 No, not currently. I had need of this myself and started it as an option but have not had time to complete it. It will be in the next version I do but I don't know when that might be.

DriWashSolutions Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 You could change that to NONSSL and see how it works. Found a few instances of the "SSL" in redirects, but it still goes to the secure side of the server. I also checked the configure.php to make sure things were spec'd right there. Any other places I need to check for this? Quote John Skurka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_mcs Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Just the ones on link_submit.php and link_submit_success.php should be changed I think.

valley Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Hello Jack, We routinely receive LINK request but have no tme to handle manually. This contribution is really a boon. It installed well but I am stuck with the Notorious SPLIT PAGE issue. When I open in admin I get CODE Links AllPendingApprovedDisabledWaiting Search: Title Asc Desc URL Asc Desc Clicks Asc Desc Status Asc Desc Action 1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '-0, MAX_LINKS_DISPLAY' at line 1 select l.links_id, l.links_url, l.links_image_url, l.links_date_added, l.links_last_modified, l.links_status, l.links_clicked, ld.links_title, ld.links_description, l.links_contact_name, l.links_contact_email, l.links_reciprocal_url, l.links_status from links l left join links_description ld on l.links_id = ld.links_id where ld.language_id = '1' order by ld.links_title limit -0, MAX_LINKS_DISPLAY error messge even though there is one entry in the table. I was recently stuck with this issue in CATALOG for another contribution which was sorted by oleaving the old version of split_page.php and modifying the call in the contribution file which was different ( I have a hybrid MS2 version) However your function call inthe links.php in admin is similar to old version (with 4 parameters with MAX_LINKS_DISPLAY as the second) I have tried all the fixes discussed in the fORUMS and official bug report I spent a week sorting the last one and am really tired of this issue. Do you have any info that could be useful to get it working. The site iis http://affiliatesexcel.com Best regardds Shred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It installed well but I am stuck with the Notorious SPLIT PAGE issue. Hello Problem sorted thanks to earlier posts in this thread. I didn't realise that the instal.php added a new LINKS item under the store configuration . Great automation, but need some instruction in the read me file to go there and set up things. I simply refreshed the MAX_DISPLY_Links count and the database problem disappeared. The second suggestion is to add a link to this thread in the READ ME file. Great contribution from nice guys ! Many thanks again !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rahulbaba Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Hi i ave just install this contribution and after looking at the admin area the features and simplification looks really great. Though my Admin area is working just great i am facing errors on links.php and links_submit.php with follwoing error Fatal error: Cannot redeclare tep_show_category() (previously declared in E:\inetpub\vhosts\wisdomindia.org\httpdocs\includes\header.php:160) in E:\inetpub\vhosts\wisdomindia.org\httpdocs\includes\boxes\categories.php on line 13 Has anyone faced similar kind of Error? Also i run the file links_setup.php befor i changed the before filemodifications. So step 3 befor step 2 can this be the reason.? (however i tried restoring the database and the file run but no luck although) What could be the possible reason? Thanks in Advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_mcs Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 The code is trying to load the tep_show_category function twice. You should search your files and make sure it is not declared twice. If it isn't, you will need to try to trace down the file that is doing the calling. It doesn't matter what order the database is installed it by the way.
