OWM. Finally got a chance to install this. Upgraded the DB from 2.0 to 3.0. With one exception, it went flawlessly.
For some reason, my version of LM2.0 did not have the FORUM_ prefix on all the tables associated with Link manager (ie. my LINKS table was called LINKS, and not FORUM_LINKS). Ergo, the db upgrade didn't work. Not sure if this was isolated to my version or not, but it was... strange.
Code-wise, nice nice work. Very well structured and clean. Nice commenting too, very easy to see what was what, even for a novice like me :D< |

Thanks for your feedback, Lee.

This is because the database update file that came with v2.0 of the Links Manager MOD, and it didn't add the forum's table prefix when creating the table.
Not sure how to handle this, I guess I either provide a file that checks the database and changes the tables as needed or I'll provide instructions on how to do it manually.

I have just installed this mod and think it's great I do have a slight problem in that sometimes I can't say when or why but every so often the Feature Configuration seems to revert back to the default values of NO to everything! Have I missed a bit of code somewhere along the way as this is my first post and first mod I have added. If this has been aswered before sorry, I did try a search but found nothing like this in the subject line.

Make sure you've added all the modifications to config.asp as stated in the readme file
I have checked the config.asp for the changes as per the read me file I have added the supplied bits in the right place.
I have not had the problem as described above now. I don't know if it was just something not quite right somewhere along the line but at present all seems to be OK.
I'll let you know if I have any problems.
Thanks for your help, but mostly thanks for a great MOD.

Hello,
Great mod OneWayMule. I got a couple of snags to work out.
I'm having a problem with the dates for LAST_UDATE.
1st - On pop_links.asp both Post:(with date) and Last Updated:(with date) show up, but if you update a link the Last Update:(still shows the post date). I tried it several times with 4 different links just to make sure.
The 2nd date problem is on links.asp - Last Update: doesn't show up at all even after updating. (Nothing no Last Update: and no date) Just the Original post date. I looked the code over and the Last Update (text code) is there but after updating it doesn't show.
Next is the keywords. I've entered them on all links but don't see them either.
Anyway I was hoping sombody could help me get this great mod functioning to it's full potential.
Thanks,
HVROX< |

Hmm... it should show both the post date and last update as soon as it has been updated... even in Beta 2 (it definately works in the final version).

Keywords won't be displayed anywhere except in the add/edit form. Keywords are used by the search function only.

NO it didn't. I just got done.
Do you any ideas on what would cause the date malfuntion
The keywords are working in search. It seems to just be a problem with the dates. The posted date is working it's just not being updated with the new date after editing the link. At first I though it may have been the Today/Yesterday mod I had installed but I uninstalled it and it still doesn't update the date after editing the link.
I'd like to try to fix it.
I'm running Access,
3.4.04
Lot's of mods
Poll mod is the only thing I can think of as far as interfearing with dates.
Could it be a server issue Everthing else seems to work.
I'll do the work if you can guide me through it. Just need some more info on where to look. I gotten to the point of: (over the rough) when working with Snitz so I'll give it shot if you can help out.
Thanks again,
HVROX< |

OK, I did take a quick look and it seems it's not working in Beta 2.
Find the following code in links.asp (approx. lines 1206-1209):
strsql = strsql & "BANNER_SIZE=" & CInt(strFormBannerSize) & ", "
strsql = strsql & "THELANGUAGE=" & CInt(strFormLanguage) & " "
strsql = strsql & "WHERE LINK_ID=" & intLinkID
my_Conn.Execute(strsql),,adCmdText + adExecuteNoRecords
and paste the following code above it:
strsql = strsql & "LAST_UPDATE=" & strFormDate & ", "so it looks like this:
strsql = strsql & "LAST_UPDATE=" & strFormDate & ", "
strsql = strsql & "BANNER_SIZE=" & CInt(strFormBannerSize) & ", "
strsql = strsql & "THELANGUAGE=" & CInt(strFormLanguage) & " "
strsql = strsql & "WHERE LINK_ID=" & intLinkID
my_Conn.Execute(strsql),,adCmdText + adExecuteNoRecords
Haven't tried it but that should fix it.< |

Hey OneWayMule,
I got a question on the hide from browsers script. The version I installed has this script at the top of the page above where
<html>
<head>
starts, when viewing the page source.
I added the line you gave me above and still no good. So I've been looking over the code trying to get it fully functional and I noticed the placement of the browser script and was wondering if that could be causing the problem?
Is this the right placesment for it or should it be between the <head> tags

In the Links Manager is it possible to limit the number of times a url is added. ie if a link to say http://any_URL.com/ is already in the db a message would appear to say Link already in the db and will not be added. Purhaps this could be turned on/off as it may be of use to some but not others
