Post in the Tracker if you believed you’ve found a bug. I’ll take a look in next version.

Hello,

In the categories widget I want to change 2 things to make it same design as all widgets in my site:

1.- To remove the extra background that you've in categories list

2.- To make the total links number same size as link title. Now the numbers are too small.

Thank you

Chris

You’re free to do anything in your install. Just change the templates to whatever you want. You just don’t wait for me to make these changes as they’re not supported.

Having bought 5+ of your apps, I was expecting a better treatment. In any case, that's up to you.

Yes, I know perfectly that design changes are not supporting. But when? They're not supporting as long as you follow IPS (in this case) design standards. And you don't. The categories widget is the only different among all other similar widgets. IPS, and 3nd party addons. Even your Sidebar Forums is using the standard design. Why not the Links Directory?

[ChrisTERiS]

Don't waste your valuable time. Soon or late I'll find my way to fix it.

Do not support changes on my resources it’s my call, it’s a market/dev decision, regardless the number of purchases someone has on my stuff.

Yes, that’s what I’m talking about.

Then this is not a request to change layout, it’s a bug. Anyway, use the proper channel to report: according to this file’s support info: post in the Tracker if you believed you’ve found a bug. I’ll take a look in next version. 

Create an account, if you haven’t one, with same name from here and you will be allocated in the proper group.

Hi

Yes but i am not sure it's a bug

when you say minimum dimensions : 1000 * 500, we agree 1000 = width, and 500 = height ?

Taking a quick look, it seems to be reversed! So try the opposite.

The right is Width and Height, so use 500x1000 instead of 1000x500.

Let me know if it's really reversed and I'll fix in next version.

[Durango]

Hi

yes i just tested it and it looks like it's reversed

[Adriano Faria]

Ok. I’ll wait for the other issue above and will release a fix yet this week.

One of my users had an issue adding a link to the links directory.  I logged in as the user and added the link without an issue.  Below is the error he got.  Not sure what happened, but I wanted to let you know just in-case it was an issue.

I have my links directory image settings Thumbnails API to only allow Upload.

Was the record added? Happens with only one user?

[Bluto]

No the record wasn't added.  The user contact me saying he got an error.

I haven't noticed this error before, though I have seen a few CURL errors, but since I didn't get a report I didn't investigate it further.

I just notice that 2 minutes before the error I posted above, the user got the error below, not sure if it's related.

Just check to make sure I hadn't modified any templates, they are all stock.

I’ll take a look. It had a few changes in the manual upload in latest version. 

[Adriano Faria]

@Bluto, will need more info on this. I just managed to add a record with UPLOAD image setting, no error in logs.

You posted 2 errors. The first one is about timeout:

Quote

IPS\Http\Request\CurlException: Resolving timed out after 10000 milliseconds (28)

I've changed the script to run for a given number of seconds... if can't do it, then will throw an error on submission.

Regarding the second, will need more info. Shows an error in the image; anything special about it? Size? Dimensions?

@ChrisTERiS, can you point where the difference is in the categories block? I can't see.

 

- Links Directory:

 

- Downloads:

 

- Pages:

[Bluto]

Is it possible to remove the blocks which are being used on the LD app main page so they don't show up in the Clubs?  All the other apps / features I'm using in the club (forum, videobox, gallery, blog) don't have the blocks I use in the respected apps.  LD is the only one which has all the blocks from main LD app page.  If I remove any of the blocks from the LD clubs page, it removes them from the main LD page.

Is there a setting or template I could modify so that the blocks from the main LD page won't show up in clubs?

Thanks!

[Adriano Faria]

If you mean widgets in the sidebar, no. LD doesn't has a "index controller", only the browser, which is the same from caregory. Maybe in a future version, like IPS5, when I'll probably have to make the app again.

[Bluto]

Yea, widgets is what I meant.  I don't think I'm going to have LD in the clubs, but I figured I'd ask.  Thanks!

[Adriano Faria]

I'll take a look next week when I have to release a new version... if that's something that will demand too much work for now, I'll do it.

[Bluto]

Sounds good.  👍

Hi @Adriano Faria

Is there an easy way to remove week / month / year tabs on the TOP HITS sidebar widget and keep only the "all times" tab

This is because of SEO : when keeping the 4 tabs it shows 4 times the same list of links and so creates a lot of duplicate content

Tx

No, unless you edit the template in your install and change a PHP file because default isn’t All Time. 

[Durango]

Ok, we will do that, which file is it ?

It’s a widget. topHits probably. Not in front of my PC now.
