LinkMan Image Mod

WebsiteManagers · Post by **WebsiteManagers** » Sun Jan 29, 2006 4:34 pm

Is that the link you entered AFTER replacing the addlink.php file? The image that it's trying to load is "http://www.hampton-roads-real-estate.us ... hange/none". Where did 'none' come from?

If the blank image is in the same folder as your script, you can leave the image line empty. Otherwise, provide a complete URL to the image you want to use.

The none line came from the description... I'll try putting the image link in the description line in the admin panel and putting the description in the image url line..

And yes it's after i replaced the addlink.php file.

There is no need to switch the 2 fields if you replaced the addlink.php file with the new one. Also remember that the existing links are not affected by the changes. The new file is tested and confirmed working on my end.

I really did replace it and I know the existing links are not effected it happens on new links. If you dont mind when you have the time please look and try it for yourself:

admin panel: http://www.hampton-roads-real-estate.us ... /admin.php

admin panel password: temp

where the links are displayed: http://www.hampton-roads-real-estate.us ... rtners.php

And heres a ftp account to the folder so you can see that the new addlink.php file is there:

ip: 67.15.52.34
port: 21
user: websitemanagers@hrvarealestate.com
pass: temp

Thanks,
Ryan

That page doesn't have form included, but the link to your Link Exchange has the old form without the image section. The admin page you sent me to doesn't have the images on it either, but then I haven't converted that page. The images are not needed there without the ability to edit the listings. Plus, the manual addition form in admin doesn't have the image section on it, so there's no way to test it from there.

All listings without images are still loading the image 'blankwhite95x45.gif' and the one that has an image attached is showing up. I'm guessing that you manually edited that one.

So that brings us back to updating the active site. Make a copy of what you have, especially the linkinfo.txt and settings.php. The update the form and include it in your links page. Once that's done, it can be tested properly.

I did not want the form on the same page so I removed it.

The link exchange page has the old form on it because I have not updated it yet. Right now it’s just running threw a form submission script. I wanted to change the maximum accepted characters in the description/title lines before I used the one that would work with linkman.

I have been trying to submit the new links threw the admin page. It “does” have a place for the image URL in the manual addition form so I guessed it had been converted.

Thanks for clearing that up I should be able to get it to work now. Is there a quick way to make the admin page compatible so I can submit links threw there? If not this should do ok I was just curious.

Thanks for all your help,
Ryan

On or about line 364 in admin.php the form starts (in my copy anyway). You can insert the following code on line 394 to add the image option to the form if it's not there already.

Code: Select all

<tr>
<td style="text-align:right"><b>Image URL:</b></td>
<td><input type="text" name="imageurl" maxlength="100" value="<?php echo $_REQUEST["imageurl"];?>" size="50"><br />
<span style="font-size:9pt">(Image Maximum: Width 95px x Height 45px)</span></td>
</tr>

Let me know if you need any other help with this. Aside from adding that one section, you should be all set. Otherwise, I can install for you. Send me a PM and we'll discuss it.

That line is already there. The problem is that the line does not work it makes the images have the problem were it trys to read the images from the description path. Go to the admin.php and add a link and just leave the img field blank and then goto Link Partners and you will see what I mean. It's ok it's not that big of a problem I can just use the other form but I thought you would like to know.

The following changes have been made:

- admin panel -
* Fixed image URL routine in the add form
* The Add form now writes the date of submission
* Added display of images in links list
* Added display of submission dates for age tracking - displays under each entry in [] brackets

- linkinfo.txt -
* Had the wrong URL to reciprocal link - Removed
* Fixed line ending so it now creates newlines

- addlink.php -
* Fixed submission date entry

Did I miss anything?

It's working like a dream!!!

Thanks a ton!

I'm glad it's working for you and I'm looking into expanding LinkMan more by adding an option to edit the entries - something everyone could use. Don't know how long that development will take but I'll announce it once it's all tested.

Anyone using a version issued prior to today will have an incorrect link to my site. The new link with new image is in the updated linkinfo.txt file. Download the zip file and copy & paste the new line into the file, replacing the one in there. That is, if you haven't removed it already. If not, I appreciate you keeping a link to my site in your list! You can also do this through your admin panel by deleting and adding it back in with the http://nolink option for reciprocal link.

Thanks for the opportunity to serve you.

That would be a great enhancement it would definitely make it the best link/banner exchange script out there. And I’m going to keep a link to your site in the list it’s the least I can do!

Thanks again,
Ryan

I have it set up with this add one but I noticed this link:

linktous.php?r=

But there is no linktous.php in the package I downloaded. I've gone ahead and created one with links people can use, but I was wondering what you've done with it, and what the r variable was for.

WebsiteManagers · Post by **WebsiteManagers** » Tue Feb 21, 2006 9:44 pm

linktous.php is a link to my site for people to link to us without using the reciprocal links. It's not intended to be a file included with LinkMan. The link you see is a sample link that you need to edit on the form so people will know how they're supposed to provide a link to your site.

Those links can be replaced with your links or PHP-generated links so they point to your website.

If it would help, I can place this in the form so those links automatically get set to whatever site the script is installed on.

Code: Select all

<a href="<?php echo "http://".$_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"]."/where-you-want-them-to-link-to.php";?>">My LInk to Your Cool Site</a>

Hope that helps.

The Add URL form, settings.php and readme-mods.htm have been updated. The settings file now has options to enter your site name and description so your sample links on the Add URL form are automatically generated. The default links and descriptions to websitemanagers.net have been replaced with the code for your own links and titles. You are still free to add your own to the list.

The ZIP file is updated with the new files.
