LinkEX

Hello,
First of all, thank you for the free use of this awesome script! It is definitely the best i've ever used! So far, the
only problem i've found is, the HTML code that is shown on the add link page is displaying the wrong title and
description and it will not update to the title and description, which I defined in my link settings.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, because I have already restructured my link directories completely
around LinkEX and I would really love to be able to go live with it. This is a pretty big issue though....

Thanks in advance.

Actually, it would be nice if I could modify the HTML code that people copy/paste. For instance, I would like to make
the title/link bold (<b>title</b>). Is that possible?

hey Aedryan

Sorry for the late reply. It sounds a bit like a permissions issue with the info not updating. Please make sure the
linkex/data/config/config file is writeable by the webserver.

Hm you could just add the <b>title</b> in the settings, but I guess it would mess up, since you would have
title="<b>title</b>". I'll think about a solution for this.

Just for the record, what's happening is, when I define my link settings, it is ignoring my description and repeating
the title in the description. So, the HTML code is like this:

[a href="http://www.website.com" title="Website Title"]Website Title Again[/a]

Instead of:

[a href="http://www.website.com" title="Website Title"]Website Description[/a]

Heya Void,
Thanks for the reply. My config file was CHMOD to 644 by default. I actually opned the config file earlier and it showed
the correct link settings, which I had defined. I didn't see the HTML code in there though....

Anyway, I tried CHMOD-ing the config file to 755 and its still doing the same thing. Any other suggestions?

Sorry.... Just another update for ya, Void.... Okay, when I leave the description field blank in link settings and just
fill in the title field, the HTML code on the add link page will only show the title. But, no matter what I put in the
description field in link settings, it puts the title where the description should be. I noticed that even on the LinkEx
demo it looks like that....

The link details themselves display perfectly on the add link page. It's just the HTML code, which link partners are
supposed to copy/paste that's messed up. I'm guessing there is some kind of mistake on line 872 in index.php that's
causing it, but I have no clue how to fix it.

Actually, the HTML code that is generated by LinkEx isn't even the proper HTML for including a title and a description
to begin with. When I copy/paste the html code generate by LinkEx onto a web page, it only displays the title as a link.
The HTML code that LinkEx generates is like this:

[a href="http://www.website.com" title="Website Title"]Website Title Again[/a]

It SHOULD be like this:

[a href="http://www.website.com"]Title[/a]Description

It would be ideal if LinkEx would render the HTML code like this:

[a href="http://www.strangehappenings.org"]<b>Bold Title</b></a> - Description following a
dash.

Man, I really hope you're able to fix this....

Any luck finding a fix for this yet, Void? I can't believe something this simple and basic/yet so important would be an
issue with this awesome script....

hey,

well actually it's not a bug or anything. It has been like this from day one.
When you first wrote this post, I thought it was something in the backend of your installation that was wrong, but I
realize now it's something a bit different.
It's really a matter of taste how the html is presented on the link form, I preferred it the way it is now, so that's
why it's like that :)

But your post has made me think about it, I'm going to make the html on the link form into a template input like the
ones used on the categories, so you can use $URL, $TITLE and $DESCRIPTION, or even hardcode it if that's what you like.

I'm travelling the next month, away on business trip, but I'm online almost every day, just not sure how much time I
have to work on LinkEX.

I'll of course let you know when I have some news :)

Awesome, Void! I'm glad to hear it, bro! I went ahead and finished my new 22 category directory, which is built around
LinkEx and it will go live within the next couple of days. For the time being, I just created a table on the add link
page with my own HTML code for people to copy/paste and put a note for them to ignore the one shown in the default
Linking Details. I'll definitely be looking forward to the update!

Thanks again for the use of this awesome script, man! It really is the best!
