Thanks.
1. I have restored "$cat_id" at that occurence - that is, function get_linksbyname().
2. Please elucidate what exactly you meant by "changed the three"
Thanks

Correction.
The new links that are added do not appear on the blog's page.
Help!

Kindly tell me how to fix it.
Thanks

That sounds like you have an 'echo $sql' or 'echo $query' soemwhere in the file. Perhaps it was an earlier debugging attempt?
Check around lines 412 - 431 in b2linkmanager.php
If it is there comment it out..

Hi Kichu, in the function get_linksbyname() there are three occurences of $cat_id
| Quote: |
function get_linksbyname($cat_name = "noname", $before = '', $after = '<br />',
$between = " ", $show_images = true, $orderby = 'id',
$show_description = true, $show_rating = false,
$limit = -1) {
global $tablelinkcategories;
$cat_id = -1;
$sql = "SELECT cat_id FROM $tablelinkcategories WHERE cat_name='$cat_name'";
$result = mysql_query($sql)
or die("Oops, couldn't query the db for categories."
. $sql . mysql_error());
if ($row = mysql_fetch_object($result)) {
$cat_id = $row->cat_id;
}
get_links($cat_id, $before, $after, $between, $show_images, $orderby,
$show_description, $show_rating, $limit);
}
|
Those were the three I meant.
Mike

Kichu,
Are he new links you are adding in the same category as the ones which do appear?
In your template if you use get_links() you will get all links in all the categories displayed. If you use get_links(1), you will only get category 1 links displayed.
Mike

Hi im wondering if someone can helpme.
Ive installed the links mod and its working to a certain point.
The site has 3 categories and i have set up 3 links categories to match.
The problem is that i cant for the life of me figure out how to display links based on the category im in.
In my index.php file i have
| Code: | <?php include_once("b2links.php");
get_links(); ?>
|
this displays the links down the left side of my site, however i cant figure out how to display only the links for the category im in.
for example if im am in index.php?cat=1 all links display, if i go to index.php?cat=2 all links still display all though i actually only want cat 2 links to display.
what do i need to do to change this.
any help would be most appreciated as this one has me totally stumped. |

Hi Snowman,
I'm presuming your link categories match our post categories here.
I think you need to do something like
| Code: |
<?php include_once("b2links.php");
if ((empty($cat)) || ($cat == 'all') || ($cat == '0')) {
get_links();
} else {
get_links($cat);
}
?>
|
I think that should do it.
I'm not sure this would handle the case when you have for example, multiple cats (other than all) displayed.
Hope this helps,
Mike

One other question i do have, which is probably more a general b2 question is how can i force a refresh of the sites pages.
Whenever someone comes to the site if they have been there recently and they have the site in their cache or their proxy server cache's they see the old page not an updated one.
Is there a simple way to ensure the page is refreshed? |

|

Folks,
I've issued version 1.2 of B2Links - the link manager for B2.
Changes are:
New Name (See this post)
and all the bug fixes which have been posted in this forum.
Sorry no new functionality yet, I just needed to get the name change released.
You can download it from the B2Links home page.
By the way, if any of you have links to my page with the name "B2 Link Manager",
please could you change it to read "B2Links". Thankyou.
Mike

Woah, nearly got sued there, eh?
No new functionality?!? Awww... well, thats OK, I know you're a busy man.
If I could suggest some new functionality though...
* A links count (and category count).
* A way of putting somthing before specific category links (a paramater would be used I assume?)
* A 'submit links' form, the information would be sent to the b2 link manager for review -- then the admin can decided whether he wants to display the link or not, using a simple button.
* A link tracker which tracks how many times links have been clicked... the information could be displayed in the manager. The addition in turn could be used to create a 'whats cool' script for the links, displaying the top X clicked on links.
These are just some ideas I thought up. I really like the link-tracker one though, it would be nice to see how people browse my links section.

Download and references updated.
I've left it as is but in your readme, menutop and screenshots there are still references to Link Manager.
