LinksManager

[automotiveuk]

A new project_project entry has been added:

LinksManager

Ported to work with RC3 Max
This program enables display and management of a categorized list of links to other websites. You can add/edit/delete/enable/disable links and categories from the admin interface.
It also includes a link submit form, where users can submit links and request you to add them to your list.

All you need to do now is add the release to this package. That is so that others can actually download it... If you need assistance, let me know.

I posted the zip file for you... Available for download immediately!

Thanks for the post..... I did edit all the files now need to do the links_setup.php

Is this going to edit my main database? I don't have a test site and have been trying to setone up only issue is how do I make a mirror of current site?

Please help!!!


After installion of shop files run http://yourdomain.com/links_setup.php to install database for links manager the screen will
just go blank but tables did install for me once done go to admin and allow file access to new files.

all so open up link_manager.css and copy contents to your shop theme stylesheet.css or copy to the same template directory
as stylesheet.css and import link_manager.css.

I went through the setup of this and it seems that it is not completely ported for BTS. There is at least one missing file:
Warning: main(templates/fallback/content/CONTENT_LINKS.tpl.php.
.

[michael_s]

Nope... you are just missing the constant definition for CONTENT_LINKS in your filenames.php...

Make sure this is in your /catalog/includes/filenames.php file:

PHP Code:

// VJ Links Manager v1.00 begin Moded: date 23/12/2006 by automotiveuk
define('FILENAME_LINKS', 'links.php');
define('FILENAME_LINKS_SUBMIT', 'links_submit.php');
define('FILENAME_LINKS_SUBMIT_SUCCESS', 'links_submit_success.php');
define('FILENAME_LINK_LISTING', 'link_listing.php');
define('FILENAME_LINK_SEARCH', 'link_search.php');
define('FILENAME_POPUP_LINKS_HELP', 'popup_links_help.php');
define('CONTENT_LINKS', 'links');
define('CONTENT_LINKS_SUBMIT', 'links_submit');
define('CONTENT_LINKS_SUBMIT_SUCCESS', 'links_submit_success');
define('CONTENT_POPUP_LINKS_HELP', 'popup_links_help');
// define('CONTENT_RETURN_PRODUCT', 'return_product');
// VJ Links Manager v1.00 end Moded: date 23/12/2006 by automotiveuk

Maybe I was too quick to judge. I will try it again. I am hopeful for a better link manager. Too much offensive attempts to our other manager.

Ok I did the complete install and in the admin section I only see one added section under Configuration ~ Links

I don't see were I can add/edit/delete/enable/disable links and categories from the admin interface.

Please Help

Thanks,

[ALElder]

I think the manual is missing one step you need to goto the
Admin Panel - Adiministrator >> File Access and turn the Links section on and add files

Thanks,

I need a little help editing the (links.tpl.php) I am trying to get the layout to look like the below link:

Links - Nventa - Innovative Solutions™

I think the section I need to change is here but were:

PHP Code:

 <?php
    $categories_query = tep_db_query("select lc.link_categories_id, lcd.link_categories_name, lcd.link_categories_description, lc.link_categories_image from " . TABLE_LINK_CATEGORIES . " lc, " . TABLE_LINK_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION . " lcd where lc.link_categories_id = lcd.link_categories_id and lc.link_categories_status = '1' and lcd.language_id = '" . (int)$languages_id . "' order by lcd.link_categories_name");

    $number_of_categories = tep_db_num_rows($categories_query);

    if ($number_of_categories > 0) {
      $rows = 0;
      while ($categories = tep_db_fetch_array($categories_query)) {
        $rows++;
        $lPath_new = 'lPath=' . $categories['link_categories_id'];
        $width = (int)(100 / MAX_DISPLAY_CATEGORIES_PER_ROW) . '%';

        echo '                <td align="center" class="smallText" width="' . $width . '" valign="top"><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_LINKS, $lPath_new) . '">';
   
        if (SHOW_LINKS_CATEGORIES_IMAGE == 'True') {
          if (tep_not_null($categories['link_categories_image'])) {
            echo tep_links_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $categories['link_categories_image'], $categories['link_categories_name'], SUBCATEGORY_IMAGE_WIDTH, SUBCATEGORY_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '<br>';
          } else {
            echo tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'pixel_trans.gif', $categories['link_categories_name'], SUBCATEGORY_IMAGE_WIDTH, SUBCATEGORY_IMAGE_HEIGHT, 'style="border: 3px double black"') . '<br>';
          }
        }

        $categories_count_query = tep_db_query("select link_categories_id from " . TABLE_LINKS_TO_LINK_CATEGORIES . " where link_categories_id = " . $categories['link_categories_id']);
        $linkCount = tep_db_num_rows($categories_count_query);
        echo '<br><b><u>' . $categories['link_categories_name'] . '</b></u></a>&nbsp;' . '(' . $linkCount . ')<br>' . $categories['link_categories_description'] . '</td>' . "\n";
        if ((($rows / MAX_DISPLAY_CATEGORIES_PER_ROW) == floor($rows / MAX_DISPLAY_CATEGORIES_PER_ROW)) && ($rows != $number_of_categories)) {
          echo '              </tr>' . "\n";
          echo '              <tr>' . "\n";
        }
      }
    } else {
?>

Thanks
