Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
June 29, 20195 yr Author What's New in Version 5.4.5: New Features: From now on you can convert a review to a comment. A new moderator permission will control who can use the feature. From now on the link URL will be checked when submitting links, so only "good" URLs (response 200) will be allowed. Fix: Rest API endpoint error when creating a Rest API key.
June 29, 20195 yr Quick question that I did not see a solution for. In my Links Directory I have listings where the listing provides more than one service... Is there a way to assign a listing to more than 1 category? Or an easy way to duplicate an existing listing. How do others approach this? for example Listing A fits within both of these categories... - Category - Retail Sales - Category - Repair & Restoration
June 29, 20195 yr Author Is there a way to assign a listing to more than 1 category? No, as you also can’t have a topic in two forums or an image in two albums, etc. This is a core thing.
July 1, 20195 yr Hi, there is small issue with table links_packages. It was created as MyISAM and not InnoDB. All other tables created through 3rd party apps installation are automatically InnoDB in our database. Therefore I assume there is an issue in the install script of Links Directory. Sonya

Sonya Tracker please.
July 1, 20195 yr Author It will be fixed in next version but you can run a query on PHPMyAdmin (and probably in SQL Toolbox) to fix your install. There are several examples in Google, like https://kinsta.com/knowledgebase/convert-myisam-to-innodb/
July 2, 20195 yr I noticed when I post link directory links on Facebook, Facebook always grabs the generic site image and never the screenshot thumbnail. For other items like forums, Facebook usually grabs an image if there is one in the thread. Not sure if this is possible or not, but could the social sites grab the thumbnail image for each link?
July 2, 20195 yr Author Probably. Report this in the tracker please, I'll take a look when I have to release a new version.

ACP -> Customization ->Language -> click in the globe in the row of your language to translate it. Search for no_access_links. Change to whatever you want.
July 27, 20195 yr I'm successfully using this plugin, but having issues with the Google Maps map display of the listing. I've set it up correctly I believe following the instructiosn, but here is what is happening. 1. First time I go a Directory listing, it shows the maps correctly. 2. Second time I go a Directory listing, I get the following error from Google. Here's the link, if others would like to try it out... https://www.trumpetforum.com/links/link/35-chuck-levins-washington-music/

July 28, 20195 yr Has anyone modified the "Visit Website" button color? Trying to figure out how to modify to be another color (blue to match the rest of my site)... Has anyone done this to increase the number of persons that click on the link? I did a quick search in this thread, but could not find what others have done. Any ideas?

Has anyone done this to increase the number of persons that click on the link? It uses the ipsButton_normal style: <a {{if settings.links_linkview == 3}}target="_blank" {{endif}}{{if settings.links_nofollow}}rel="external nofollow" {{endif}}data-action="clickCounter" href='{$link->externalUrl}' title='{lang="links_visit_site"}' class='ipsButton ipsButton_normal ipsButton_fullWidth'> Here you can see a button guide: You need to see which one is the blue on your theme.

That's great, I understand. Where/How would I modify (possible?) the file that lets me switch button to "ipsButton_important".... Thanks...
July 29, 20195 yr Edit the template links -> front -> view -> view. I've searched through the Admin panel, but can not find where to find the template "links". Thanks for how to find it?
July 29, 20195 yr Author I've searched through the Admin panel, but can not find where to find the template "links". Thanks for how to find it? This is not related to the app itself. Use the Product Guidance forum if you have doubts in how to use any Core feature or browse Guides:
July 30, 20195 yr When adding a link to the directory the miniature.io doesn't capture the thumbnail. Is that because the forum is still offline when adding a link or does the API need to be setup correctly to work? If so, how ?
