Just noticed that we seem to of got back the old bug of showing a link more than once in the "Some Random Links" section ..

Within the instructions.txt at 3.1.c ..

local_links_template.xml

should be ..

local_links_templates.xml

Another bug with the "Some Random Links" page ..

When a link has a "See also" section .. it's only showing one cat even when the link is linked to multiple cats ..

For those wanting to take advantage of the "addlink script accepts optional url=, name=, description= parameters to allow scripted new link creation" that AndrewD has kindly added .. I've found the following code to work with IE 6 ..

(Be warned .. it looks like vB adds some spaces into the above code for some reason .. please cleck that you have no spaces before saying it doesn't work! :p)

Instructions for use ..

1/ Create a favorite within IE6 using any URL
2/ Right click this new favorite within the "Favorites" drop down and click "Properties"
3/ Within the "Web Document" tab replace the current URL with the code above remembering to change the "yoururl.com" part of the URL for the correct path to your local_links.php file
4/ Within the "General" tab replace the name to something like "Add URL to Link Database"
5/ Click OK, at which point it will ask if you really want to do it .. click YES
6/ Finally click "Tools" on your menu bar, click "Pop-up Blocker" and click "Turn off Pop-up Blocker". This will stop IE complaining that the site is trying to open a new window when you click "Add URL to Link Database" from your "Favorites" menu

To add a link to your Links Database you can now do the following ..

1/ Goto URL using IE6
2/ Highlight some text you'd like as the description for this link
3/ Pick "Add URL to Link Database" from your favorites list
4/ A new page will open pre-filling the Name, URL and Description of your link
5/ Finalise the completion of this page as normal

Finished! :)

AndrewD .. your more than welcome to use the above in the instructions.txt if you'd like .. or do some of your own if you think I've not explained it very well .. ;)

When renewed to the version 1.56, I don`t see any my categories..
Only: Home & Add (Cat)

I can pass for link "action=links&catid=N", but a category is nonactive and I cann`t add links.

At addition of category the choice of Parent Category I don`t see any my categories also.

The options are proposed by default:
template_category_selection - links_addnewlink_catselect
template_linkbit - links_linkbit_table

How to correct ? :ermm:

Rgds.

I just ran into a similar issue. Seems I missed the last couple of upgrades and after version 1.41 of this script, somehow the ability to define your own table prefixes disappeared and the installer insists on prefixing the tables as local_ so it just adds new blank tables if you were using another table prefix. I see no way to solve this without moving all the data around manually.

Ouch - sorry guys - will check and provide a fix

I think problem not on prefixing (i`m upgrading from version 1.55), but in something other...
Only where ? :)

I think you'll find you associated a link or category with a forum, then deleted the forum. I'll fix the code so that it doesn't croak on this problem.

This is the same bug that caused multiple copies of the same random link to show up. Basically the "random hit" code isn't working properly when a link was in more than one category. (The "hottest hits" code was also broken, although less visibly.) Will upload a fix quite soon.
