Is there a way to add nested catagories to this mod?

 

I would like to be able to add other catagories under a parent catatgories etc.

 

Thanks in advance.

Then I will make my contributition.

 

Thanks

 

No, there isn't. That is planned for the next version but there is no telling when that might be.

Hi Brett,

 

Thanks for the great work. My default links URLs are replaced with SEO URLs. Yet, I'm having problems with the breadcrumb path which still refers to the default links URLs (links.php?lPath=9). Any idea how to solve this? Any suggestions?

 

Thank you in advance.

Tiny improvement to the "nothing pops up" fix for Links help =>show the hand in Firefox.

Apologies in advance if I repeat something already in this thread.

...There isn't a hand there, so I hope people know it's a link, but it works now!

Hi I had the same problem (no popup). Thanks Jack for the fix. I modified the popup code to show the hand.

For those who like to please the w3c validator and follow standards, the following will pass.

 <script type="text/javascript">document.writeln('<a style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand" onclick="java script:popup=window.open('  
										+ '\'<?php echo tep_href_link(FILENAME_POPUP_LINKS_HELP); ?>\',\'popup\','  
										+ '\'scrollbars,resizable,width=520,height=570,left=50,top=50\'); popup.focus(); return false;">'  
										+ '<span class="inputRequirement" style="font-size: larger"><?php echo TEXT_LINKS_HELP_LINK; ?><\/span><\/a>');</script>  

			   <?php //  echo '<a href="java script:popupWindow(\'' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_POPUP_LINKS_HELP) . '\')">' . TEXT_LINKS_HELP_LINK . '</a>'; ?>

Be sure there is no space between java and script.

Repeat of Jack's suggestion with slightly modified line :

Replace :

<?php  echo '<a href="java script:popupWindow(\'' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_POPUP_LINKS_HELP) . '\')">' . TEXT_LINKS_HELP_LINK . '</a>'; ?>

with

 <script type="text/javascript">document.writeln('<a style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand" onclick="java script:popup=window.open('

										+ '<span class="inputRequirement" style="font-size: larger"><?php echo TEXT_LINKS_HELP_LINK; ?><\/span><\/a>');</script>

Be sure there is no space between java and script.

Big thanks to uscetech for posting how to make Ultimate SEO work with Link Manager. Worked great.

Repeated here for conveniance if someone needs it.

-i.

 

This is what I had to do to get "Links Manager V 1.14b" and "Ultimate SEO URLs - 2.1d" to play nice together.

 

In /catalog/includes/classes/seo.class.php

 

In the function href_link, I changed:

 

		if ( !in_array($page, $this->attributes['SEO_PAGES']) || $this->attributes['SEO_ENABLED'] == 'false' ) {
			return $this->stock_href_link($page, $parameters, $connection, $add_session_id);
		}

 

To

 

		if (( !in_array($page, $this->attributes['SEO_PAGES']) || $this->attributes['SEO_ENABLED'] == 'false' ) && ($page != FILENAME_LINKS)) {
			return $this->stock_href_link($page, $parameters, $connection, $add_session_id);
		}

 

Because it was erasing the html link parameters.

 

Then in the function parse_parameters, I added:

 

				case 'lPath':
						switch(true){
					case ($page == FILENAME_LINKS):
						  $url = $this->make_url($page, $this->get_link_name($p2[1]), $p2[0], $p2[1], '.html', $separator);
						  break;
					default:
				  $container[$p2[0]] = $p2[1];
				  break;
					} # end switch
						break;

 

right after the "break;" and right before "case 'cPath':"

 

Then I added the function

 

	function get_link_name($lPath){
		switch(true){
			case ($this->attributes['USE_SEO_CACHE_GLOBAL'] == 'true' && defined('LINK_NAME_' . $lPath)):
				$this->performance['CACHE_QUERY_SAVINGS']++;
				$return = constant('LINK_NAME_' . $lPath);
				$this->cache['LINKS'][$lPath] = $return;
				break;
			case ($this->attributes['USE_SEO_CACHE_GLOBAL'] == 'true' && isset($this->cache['LINKS'][$lPath])):
				$this->performance['CACHE_QUERY_SAVINGS']++;
				$return = $this->cache['LINKS'][$lPath];
				break;
			default:
				$this->performance['NUMBER_QUERIES']++;
				$sql = "SELECT link_categories_name as lName
					FROM ".TABLE_LINK_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION."
					WHERE link_categories_id='".(int)$lPath."'
					AND language_id='".(int)$this->languages_id."'
					LIMIT 1";
				$result = $this->DB->FetchArray( $this->DB->Query( $sql ) );
				$lName = $this->strip( $result['lName'] );
				$this->cache['ARTICLES'][$aID] = $lName;
				$this->performance['QUERIES']['TOPICS'][] = $sql;
				$return = $lName;
				break;
		} # end switch
		return $return;
	} # end function

 

right before the function "function get_category_name(&$cID){"

 

In the function SEO_URL, I changed:

 

		$this->reg_anchors = array('products_id' => '-p-',
								   'cPath' => '-c-',
								   'manufacturers_id' => '-m-',
								   'pID' => '-pi-',
								   'tPath' => '-t-',
								   'articles_id' => '-a-',
								   'products_id_review' => '-pr-',
								   'products_id_review_info' => '-pri-',
								   'info_id' => '-i-'
								   );

 

To

 

		$this->reg_anchors = array('products_id' => '-p-',
								   'cPath' => '-c-',
								   'manufacturers_id' => '-m-',
								   'pID' => '-pi-',
								   'tPath' => '-t-',
								   'articles_id' => '-a-',
								   'products_id_review' => '-pr-',
								   'products_id_review_info' => '-pri-',
								   'info_id' => '-i-',
								   'lPath' => '-links-'
								   );

 

After that, then when I click on a link category, it displays the SEO URL instead of lPath=#.

 

But the email link was giving me issues and I made a little change there also. Around line 205 in the file "/catalog/admin/links.php", I changed:

$siteURL = sprintf("%s/%s-links-%s.html", HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER, $catname, $category['link_categories_id']);

 

To

 

$siteURL = sprintf("%s%s-links-%s.html", HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG, strtolower($catname), $category['link_categories_id']);

 

The catalog dir was missing from the link and I like all lowercase links so I added that also. Now its working fine ;)

 

 

To all :

For the same mail message, I also changed in catalog/admin/links.php,

from :

if ($links_status_array[$links_status] == 'Approved')

to :

if ($links_status['id'] == 2)

which is better for multi-language stores.

Seemed to work but didn't test for various statuses to make sure mail wan't sent. There are more changes like that to make.

-i.

Hi,

 

I have followed the install instructions for version 1.15 but when i come to add the sql file into my database i am presented with the following error:

 

SQL query:

 

INSERT INTO configuration( configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, date_added )

VALUES (

 

'Title for the Link InfoBox to your site', 'LINKS_MANAGER_MYINFO_TITLE', 'Our Link-Information', 'Title for the Link InfoBox to your site', '10050', '100', now( )

)

MySQL said:

 

#1062 - Duplicate entry '0' for key 1

 

Can anyone point me in the right direction here?

 

Many Thanks

A new version of Links Manager is now available. Due to the many changes made, I have renamed it and started a

new support thread. Trying to support both versions in one thread, especially one this large, would cause too many problems. So if you use the new version, please ask your questions in that thread. I will continue to support my versions that apply to this thread for those that don't want to update.

Hi All,

 

Firstly, great contribution...

 

I have a FRESH install of Oscommerce 2.2ms2-051113 with only CCGV installed.

Apache 2.0.55, PHP 5.1.1, MySQL 4.1

 

I performed the install of Links Manager 1.2 (by Nventa 8 Apr 2006).

 

1. VERY SLOW PAGE LOAD: when selecting a link category on catalog/links.php. Has anyone else experienced this?

 

2. LINK SUBCATEGORIES: I really need an ability to have a sub-category within the link category. Has anyone figured out how to do this? (I should think it would be too hard, but I'm not a coding/sql expert).

 

3. ADMIN ERRORS: When selecting 'New Link' on the /catalog/admin/links.php I get top of page errors, however the functionality of the page still works.

 

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\catalog\admin\links.php on line 177

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #2 is not an array in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\catalog\admin\links.php on line 177

Warning: reset() [function.reset]: Passed variable is not an array or object in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\catalog\admin\includes\classes\object_info.php on line 17

Warning: Variable passed to each() is not an array or object in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\catalog\admin\includes\classes\object_info.php on line 18

 

This error also occurs when creating a 'new Link' on catalog/admin/link_categories.php

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Otherwise, a great contribution.

 

Did you find the solution? Im getting same error!

Thanks

Links Manager II has options to control spam. You might want to try upgrading.

After installing this contribution I want to approve some links but I get this messages:

Can anyone help me with this? Now it is unable to approve links...

This doesn't appear to be a Links Manager problem. The error is saying it can't find includes/tld.txt, which is a standard oscommerce file. Perhaps it was deleted somehow with this installation.

Thanks! For some reason this file was missing, maybe removed during the installation...

 

Anyway, many thanks!

Hi Jack,

 

using link manager II v1.23 and looked at the sub categories, the subcategory is there and it works.

 

However when selecting in admin and when submitting a link on the links page it shows as if its a main category.

 

Is it not possible for the categories to be selectable >main cat>subcat rather than a list of what appears to be just main categories.

 

Thanks

Getting better with mods but no programmer am I.

I don't understand your question. Are you saying you can't select sub-categories in admin?

 

Also, please post questions about Links Manager II in its support thread.

Hi Jack,

 

Another great contribution.

 

I have everything working great but had a question that I might have something wrong or there is a small bug not sure.

 

I am using the latest version of the add on and I am in the Links Manager II admin area. I click on the Links link and I have my list of links there. I click on the edit button for one of them and at the bottom of that page there is the pull down box with pending, approved and they are approved. Then I go to the link on the left that says Links Status and all of the links that are approved all have a question mark there. They do say in the table that they are approved but the question mark is still there. Did I do something wrong or is there a bug in this part of it?

That link status section is meant to show, at a glance, if the link exists on the other site or not. The status column won't be updated until that table is updated via the cron job that checks the links. I will change that in a future version though.
