I have Linkman to receive and exchange my links. It's working great! Thanks!

Now I'm getting so many links that I want to organize then into a directory where they can go into catagories.

How can I do this?

Thanks,
Taylore

Officially that's not possible with LinkMan at the moment, but you can simply install multiple copies of it in separate folders, for example:

http://www.domain.com/category1/links.php
http://www.domain.com/category2/links.php
http://www.domain.com/category3/links.php
...

or try this:

First of all, thanks for the free use of this great links manager. Much appreciated!

Like many others here, I have been trying to create catagorized directories. I created a few different catagories with corresponding directories. I created a custom header with each of the catagory links at the top, each of which are linked to the links.php file in the corresponding directory, etc. Then I copied all of the files that came with LinksMan, along with the custom header into each of the catagorized directories - Just as described in Klem's post above.

The problem i'm having is very hard to explain, but i'll do my best.... As I had mentioned, I created a custom header with links to each catagory at the top. For some reason it is ignoring the link paths to the catagories' directories that I specified for each link in the header file and it seems to be pointing to the pages of the other links manager i've currently been using. Like it's conflicting or something....

Here is an example of what i'm trying to explain:

One of my catagories is called "Aliens/UFO's". I created a directory and named it "Aliens_UFOS_Paranormal_Alien_Encounters". I put all of the files that came with LinkMan inside of that directory, along with the custom header. In the header file, the full link path to the "Aliens/UFO's" directory is, http://www.strangehappenings.org/Aliens ... /links.php. Now, the problem is, when I click on the link it takes me to the following URL: http://www.strangehappenings.org/Ghosts ... Links.html. The "Ghosts_Ghost_Hunters_Paranormal_Investigators" part of this URL is another directory for one of the other catagories I created for LinkMan and the "ffa-Aliens-UFOS-Paranormal-Alien-Encounters-Links.html" part of it is actually part of the file path to the following EXISTING link script i've been using on my site. That URL is, http://www.strangehappenings.org/Ghosts ... Links.html.

See what i'm saying? It is doing this same thing for every catagories link for some reason. Any help you guys can offer would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Aedryan

It takes you there because your "Click here" link links to
http://www.strangehappenings.org/Ghosts ... /form.html
and not to
http://www.strangehappenings.org/Aliens ... /form.html

Make sure you correct that, probably in your header.txt file inside Aliens_UFOS_Paranormal_Alien_Encounters folder

Thanks a lot, Klem. As it turns out, I had just uploaded the wrong Header.txt file. I have everything pretty much squared away and working now, but there are a couple other minor issues I would like to resolve if possible:

1) The link pages are excessively long at the bottom and the "Powered by Link manager LinkMan 1.03 from PHPJunkYard - free php scripts" footer is clear up at the top of the pages. Is there any way I can fix this?

Here is an example:
http://www.strangehappenings.org/Entert ... /links.php

2) After a link has been added, it takes you to the "Anti-Spam" screen (as it should), but the field where ya enter the verification code is way down at the bottom of the page. People aten't going to think to scroll clear down there after they add their links and their links won't be posted. How can I fix this?

3) Is there any way I can create some sort of a master admin header or some such that would allow me to administer all of the catagories/links from the same page, instead of having to login to every catagory's admin page one at a time?

Thanks again for this great script, as well as for your help so far. Very much appreciated!

1 & 2 are result of your header/footer HTML code. Not sure why as I haven't checked that good but make sure you use valid HTML code with all tags properly closed and placed (for example there should be only one </body> and </html> tag per document...). If you don't know HTML well I suggest you have someone reviewed it.

3. Of course it is possible if you know php, if you don't you will have a hard time finding someone who will do it for you for free as it is quite some work.

I am having the exact same problem Aedryan described here. I want the "Submit new link form" at the bottom of links.php. But when it loads addlink.php it is unexpectadly way down at the bottom of the page below all the links. Not an obvious place for the submitter to look.

Obviosly the header.txt and footer.txt apply to links.php and addlink.php in the same manner causing it to load at the bottom. Any way to resolve this or have a screwed something up? Did you ever sort this out Aedryan? Cool site by the way.

Thanks Jack

Is this the normal action of the script?

Thanks Jack

You can test the normal behaviour in the demo:

If the spam field is way down then it probably has to do something with your footer/header HTML code. Can't really say for sure as you didn't post a link to your script.
