I added a place where I can place my website's banner link on the page that gives my website information. I thought that this was fair since other people can add their banner to my link exchange.
I took the last fixes and put them to one version...
updated readme file, put the "German Translation, 'Our Link-Information' in OSC Config, Reorder Pics" together with further versions and added the beginning of a spanish translation...
made some changes to translation.
Took me some hours...
I tested it and it is working fine....
I would like to exchange links with german shops:
www.artesanias.de
live shop, don't use it for tests!
If LINKS_RECIPROCAL_REQUIRED is False then links_reciprocal_url will be empty. The current query will flag all the reciprocal URLs as duplicates. Fixed with the indicated changes to links_submit.php.
I noticed after doing an update, that there was a missing database option and has been missing from a few versions.
Run this extra MySql statement to get control over the categories diplayed per row.
INSERT INTO `configuration` VALUES (2140, 'Categories To List Per Row', 'MAX_DISPLAY_CATEGORIES_PER_ROW', '3', 'How many Link categories to list per row', 6502, 20, '2006-12-10 15:10:49', '2003-07-19 00:52:14', NULL, NULL);
Hopefully this will get re-included in future full updates,
No files included here,just the above.
Cheers
This is a fix for the catalog/links.php where the first line in a categorie is in the english language instead of the user language!
If you are running PHP5 and/or MySQL 5 you may be getting warning messages in your links.php file in the ADMIN section after pushing new link.
Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in /admin/links.php on line ---
Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #2 is not an array in /admin/links.php on line ---
Warning: reset() [function.reset]: Passed variable is not an array or object in /admin/includes/classes/object_info.php on line --
Warning: Variable passed to each() is not an array or object in /admin/includes/classes/object_info.php on line --
or something similar.
To fix this problem access you /catalog/admin/links.php file.
FIND: The following lines of code.
Depending on your version the line numbers are different.
$category = tep_db_fetch_array($categories_query);
$lInfo_array = array_merge($links, $category);
$lInfo = new objectInfo($lInfo_array);
}
}
?>
<!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html <?php echo HTML_PARAMS; ?>>
<head>
CHANGE THIS:
$lInfo_array = array_merge($links, $category);
TO THIS:
$lInfo_array = array_merge((array)$links, (array)$category);
WALAA!!

My web host is using MySql v4.0.25 - The 'ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE' Sql syntax is not available in versions of MySql prior to 4.1.0. This version should work with all MySql versions 4.0.25 and higher...
2 Changes:
Modifications to the SQL query to support older versions of MySql (Versions prior to 4.1.0).
Added to the Featured Links drop down, the links Experation date (simple display) next to the name of the featured link.
This zip only contains an instructional text file with the required changes. Only one file is changed for this catalogadmininks_featured.php I included this file as well.

Changes: - Fixed mistake in the update_changes_v_1.10_to_1.13.txt file.
- Added the links_db_update.php file. This will remove all of the settings in the configuration table and replace them with a new set. This will allow for quicker and easier updates. The
downside is that you will need to go through the settings and set them the way you want. It won't cause the loss of any links though so it is safe to run.
- Added the Link Satus to the Links Status display window
- Added code to the curl script, links_check.php, so that it emails the site owner if their link cannot be found. It also marks their link as Disabled.
- Changed code in admin/links_featured.php to be compatible with previous versions of mysql.
- Changed code in admin/links_status.php to make url a clickable link.
This is a full version.

- Added option to make reciprocal links an option.
- Added a link to the page in the message sent when a link exchange is approved. The code adds the link in the Ultimate SEO format. This shouldn't cause a problem for those sites that don't use that contribution but if it does, this part of the code will need to be disabled or changed.
- Added options link edit for disabled links. The customer will be notified if the link was denied due to a bad link or bad content, depending on the setting.
- Added the code to display text for the various links pages, under the title. The text for the Links Submit page needs to be edited to fit your site.
- Added option to check for duplicate links when a new link is submitted on the links submit page.
- Added a Suggest A Category option on the Link Submit page.
- Added code on Link Submit page to automatically verify the submitted link.
- Added default icon image code back in. Many people don't use these but some do and it is standard practice to include the code.
- Added option to switch the display from standard to vertical in admin->configuration->Links.
- Added code to allow links of any language to be displayed no matter what language is selected (only works for English, German, Spanish and French and only if the default order is in place).
- Added option to check the reciprocal link when the Edit is clicked in admin. This will slow down the loading of the edit page a little so disable this option if that is a problem.
- Added Visit Reciprocal Link link to the links edit page in admin to allow for a quick check of the site.
- Added a last checked status page so the status of the links can be seen at a glance. The table is updated any time a link is checked.
- Added a script that can be ran as a cron job to check the scripts automatically. The last checked status will be adjusted accordingly.
- Added error checking/display code in admin/links.php for when a new link is created.
- Changed code for email sent when a link is submitted to provide more details.
- Changed default status of notify customer to on in link edit window.
- Changed the check phase to allow for more than one phase to be used.
- Changed Featured Links code to allow for more featured links and allow them to be shown for a certain length of time.
- Fixed bug in All Links check code. The last link was not being checked.
- Fixed the Maximum description size code. It wasn't working as it should.
- Rearranged configuration settings and added color to sections to make the options easier to find. This will only apply to new installs.

I made some modifications to the original, added some functions and added English and German language files.
It does not provide a means to have links in multi languages, but for the admin interface only.
It also allows to exchange reciprocal links via email. See the file for more information. It works fine on my site and hope you can enjoy it.
As always: Use at your own risk!
