I made the file changes and got an error message about the database.  So, I went and put // in front of the column command and the script ran.  There was a typo in the filenames for the LINK_CATEGORIES.  It was an easy fix.  I just wanted to mention it in case you update the file for 2.3  Sooooo excited to be getting through this!  Thank you for your help!

I'm glad you got it going. The LINK_CATEGORIES is a known problem and has been fixed in the next version but I don't know when I will have time to get that ready for upload. I do appreciate you mentioning it, though.

can this be used for OSCMAX 2.5.2 ?

Thanks

Yes, though you will have to edit the files. You should ask for support for that package in its own support forums.

Besides having to spend waaay too much time figuring out why the links weren't showing on my page (For anyone else going, "#$%*!!! wtf?", Category can NOT be set to TOP in the "Links" section of the Admin panel.), this is SUPER AWESOME and just saved me a TON of time and was so easy compared to what I was thinking I was going to have to do for similar results. THANKS JACK!

I wanted to know if there was a reason the Spanish language files were all jacked up? Why is there all that extra code that you don't see in regular multi-lingual modules? Some of it is commented but the comments are cryptic. I was hoping to copy the English language files and translate them to Spanish and upload them for this module but I don't understand the reason for the extra code in the Spanish files that downloaded with Links Manager II.

Thanks!

I am not fluent in the non-English lanugages. The language files were mostly left over from what was in the basic installation from the beginning. Someone sent me translations for them which I included but I've no way to know if the translations are correct. It is probably best to just copy the English files and do the translation yourself. In updates of my other contributions, I have been deleting all non-English files since I can't support them. That will be the case with this one whenever I update it again.

I have installed this addon and found the answers to the problems I found with the LINKS_CATEGORY but I have one more problem that I have seen mention on the previous page.  If you have a link entry that has been entered and it has a link image url assigned and it is working.  If you  edit the entry for some reason like changing the category or description text and leave the Image URL file search box alone, and there is an image name displayed to the right of the file search box.  If you make changes and save them (leaving the file brows box alone) the Image Url will be lost and and error will now be displayed in the information for that link that the Image is missing.  The image is still in the Images/links_manager/uploades directory but the information has been erased from the database entry.  Looking at the code, if any kind of save is done the "link_image_url" will be updated even if nothing has been uploaded.
  It is not a fatal problem, just kind of annoying and causes you to hunt down the image that the link sharing sponsor has provided if you make any changes to the link information.  I have been trying to figure out what needed to be changed, but dont understand the code well enough.

Thanks in advance for any assistance and for another great addon to OSC
