Hi

I am having trouble getting my head around cache seo urls and linksmaster

My normal seo urls now works fine

I have installed linksmaster which works fine EXCEPT

The link url it sends in email to confirm link added is

http://www.mysite.com/Internet-Services-links-16.html an seo link which does not exist

the actual url link is
http://www.mysite.com/links.php?lPath=16

I have reset page cache and tried every combination of seo urls true and false.

I am sorry to be so thick here http://www.oscmax.com/forums/images/icons/icon9.gif
Unhappy

Thanks

When an email is sent saying the link has been added the url is not correct ie.

should be

"www.vintagevalue.net/links.php?lPath=6"

Appears to be in the links.php file around line 204

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

It would appear that this would generate a seo link.

So one would have to seo optimize the catalog side links to match the pattern of the admin side code or vice versa.

a rewrite in the .htacess and depending on the version of seo urls used, a modification in some of the catalog files.

Will work on and test on my test server and post a possible fix in the near future.

OK another problem with this contribution. One of my long time link partners on my old site emailed me and said he can not accept a link to his site which is a redirect. Instead of his actual site when you cursor over the link it says
Clocks and Watches at Walsh Brothers jewellery shop.

How do I fix this!??

okay here is the fix for the email sent when a link is added.

It will send the url to the category where the link can be found.

But be warned if you have links on page 2 it will not provide a link to page 2 of that category for now.

I Will fix the page issue, but will take longer.

replace the code in admin/links.php find:

$siteURL = sprintf("%s/%s-links-%s.html", HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER, $catname, $category['link_categories_id']); around line 204 and delete this line .

then replace with:


$catpath = '/links.php?lPath=';

$siteURL = sprintf(HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER . $catpath . $category['link_categories_id']);

Ok today I had another link person state the same thing. The engines will not count this link so they will not link either. Cursor over the link I placed in my post before this one the Clocks and Watches one and look at the address that shows up in the bar at the bottom of IE. It will be from my site with a redirect and have been told by a few now engines will not count this as an external link for them. Anyone know how to get it to show the persons address we are actually linking to or do I need to find another link system?
Using a spider simulater does show text but not a link only the re-direct.

I am uping this to 500 bonus points a big thank you and a rep add

Ok I will take the points. It has to do with click counts. In order to count the number of clicks it has to have the redirect. Turn that off in config and the actual url shows.

Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone knows how to adjust the width of the actual link listings and search box on the individual Link Category listing pages (they butt up against the right column) as shown here. The site is using a modified CSS-fluid-1 template, and the individual link category pages are the only place this seems to be happening. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

Bob

I'll answer my own question here in case anyone else has the same problem. The problem was in the width of the "Search" entry field in the box at the bottom of the Link Listing pages. I finally found where the size is configured near the bottom of templates/fallback/content/links.tpl.php, :

Search <?php echo tep_draw_input_field('links_search', '', 'maxlength="255", size="30"', false) . tep_image_submit('button_quick_find.gif', SEARCH); ?>

Changing "size" from 30 to 20 corrected the problem for me.
