Web Links :: Archived

I upgraded from 8.2b to Dragonfly and everything went perfectly. I didn't have any problems at all.

I downloaded the Web Links module from Dragonfly downloads and it installed without error.

When clicking on the control links at the top of the Web Links module, none of them work

[ Add Link | New | Popular | Top Rated | Random ]

When clicking on these links it just reloads the Web Links index page over and over again. Is there something I need to change to get this to work?

I searched the forum and found this post but it doesn't really help me.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Hiya mortal.seraphim,
I don't have DF installed yet due to peoples reports of problems with links (they may be fixed from the last time I checked though).
I noticed your link is pointing to

Code::

http://www.mortal-seraphim.com/Web_Links/l_op=NewLinks.html

and This site points to

Code::

http://www.cpgnuke.com/Web_Links/l_op=newlinks.html

Looks to me like it's because your url has caps in it, this link works fine

Code::

http://www.mortal-seraphim.com/Web_Links/l_op=newlinks.html

Like I sad I haven't installed it yet but your URL's are case sensitive and this is why the page isn't displaying. You somehow need to get rid of the capitals.
Hope this helps you more than confuses you.
Good Luck Smile

Kindest Regards
Steve

the weblinks module is still in production but they will provide a bugfixed version soon...

Thank you for your help. I wouldn't have noticed the case sensitive issue on my own, I figured it was a problem with the code.
I'll have a look at it today and see if I can resolve the problem on my own.

Thanks for the props on the theme, it's the HardWired theme that only needed a minor bug fix.
I'm also working on porting my PH2-Blue theme to Dragonfly as well. It should be ready in a few days.

Ok that fix was actually a LOT easier than I thought it would be.

I modified the index.php file in the /modules/Web_Links folder so the links were all lower case and even rigged the Random link to open the links in a new window instead of the parent window.

Everything works perfectly now.

Code::

function menu($mainlink) {
    global $module_name, $CPG_SESS;
    OpenTable();
    $ThemeSel = $CPG_SESS['theme'];
    if (file_exists("themes/$ThemeSel/images/link-logo.gif")) {
        echo "<br /><center><a href=\"".getlink()."\"><img src=\"themes/$ThemeSel/images/link-logo.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" /></a><br /><br />";
    } else {
        echo '<p align="center"><a href="'.getlink().'"><img src="modules/'.$module_name.'/images/link-logo.png" width="275" height="75" border="0" alt="'._WEBLINKS.'" /></a></p>';
    }
    echo "<div align=\"center\"><form action=\"".getlink("&amp;l_op=search")."\" method=\"post\" enctype=\"multipart/form-data\" accept-charset=\"utf-8\">"
    ."<input type=\"text\" size=\"25\" maxlength=\"255\" name=\"query\" />"
    ."<input type=\"submit\" value=\""._SEARCH."\" /></font>"
    ."</form></div>";
    echo "<p align=\"center\" class=\"content\">[ ";
    if ($mainlink>0) {
        echo "<a href=\"".getlink()."\">"._LINKSMAIN."</a> | ";
    }
    echo "<a href=\"".getlink("&amp;l_op=addlink")."\">"._ADDLINK."</a>"
    ." | <a href=\"".getlink("&amp;l_op=newlinks")."\">"._NEW."</a>"
    ." | <a href=\"".getlink("&amp;l_op=mostpopular")."\">"._POPULAR."</a>"
    ." | <a href=\"".getlink("&amp;l_op=toprated")."\">"._TOPRATED."</a>"
    ." | <a href=\"".getlink("&amp;l_op=randomlink")."\" target=\"_blank\">"._RANDOM."</a> ]"
    ."</span></p>";
    CloseTable();
}

Im running dragonfly final and I just upgraded my weblinks and this module is worse then the one before. Its all jacked up, I try to add a link and this is what I get:

CMS Error /home/NAME/public_html/modules/Web_Links/index.php line 233: www.disneymovieclub.com does not exist

[ Home ] [ Go Back ]

includes/functions/linking.php

* CMS Warning line 153:

Any suggestions?

Hmm, don't know what to tell you man.
The only thing that was changed was the capitilization of the links and I added target="_blank" to the "Random" link so the pages would load in a new window. Other than that I don't think any of the code was changed at all.

I know it doesn't really help you much but it works perfectly for me, I added several links just a few hours ago without any problems.

Nope. I'm seeing the same thing.

Turn off the link checking in the admin options...
You see, www.slashdot.org might actually just be an invisible redirect to www.slashdot.org/ or slashdot.org/

Ronin · Posted: Fri Feb 11, 2005 4:27 pm Post subject: Re: Web Links

I'm not seeing where to adjust that option. I've looked under Web Links and General Preferences.... Could you point me to it?

Should the option be moved under Web Links admin or is it used all over the place? If its all over the place then I'd suggest it be moved to the general prefs admin section. Assuming I'm not looking right at it :).

EDIT: I'm running the latest CVS as of 10th Feb, 8pm Mountain Time.

Ok, sorry to bump the thread but this is somewhat related.
I just noticed that I can only add links through the admin panel.
When trying to submit a link as a regular user nothing happens.

The submit link form (Web_Links/l_op=addlink.html) appears and you can fill it out, but when clicking the submit button it just goes to Web_Links/l_op=Add.html but the main web links page appears with the categories and the submission just dissapears.

Anyone else having the same problem or maybe provide a solution?
