DISQUS

Piotr Skowronek · 1 year ago

Hi All,

First of all, Linkr is great - the very nice extension.

I came across a problem with listing files, though. The files and directories aren't being listed when hosting account seems to be chroot'ed - ie, php root directory is set to "/".

I found workaround, though don't known whether it can be considered as a real fix for linkr ('cuz it might be the problem w joomla itself). The source of the problem is that
Joomla sets JPATH_ROOT to empty string when script root directory is "/".
Linkr's helper.php under linkr/backend (components/com_linkr/models) is doing following security checking at line 44 and 77:


if (empty( $path ) || JString::strpos( $path, JPATH_ROOT ) === false) {
     return $dirs; // <-- empty array()
}

As JPATH_ROOT is empty, it won't be found in given $path, hence - no files are being listed.

Workaround is to alter condition in above line with following code:


if (strlen(JPATH_ROOT) > 0 && (empty( $path ) || JString::strpos( $path, JPATH_ROOT ) === false)) {
     return $dirs;
}

Additionally, this code at the begining of listDirectories (line 39) has to be added:
if (strlen($path) == 0) {
$path = '/';
}

The one problem still exists, image thumbnails are not generated :/

Linkr version:
com.linkr_2.2.2_2008-08-10
Joomla version:
1.5.6

Piotr Skowronek · 1 year ago

As it comes to image thumbnails, a quick dirty fix is to replace
two following lines 110-111 in helper.php:


                                        $f->icon        = JString::str_ireplace( JPATH_ROOT.DS, JURI::root(), $f->path );
                                        $f->icon        = str_replace( DS, '/', $f->icon );

with:


                        if (strlen(JPATH_ROOT) > 0) {
                                        $f->icon        = JString::str_ireplace( JPATH_ROOT.DS, JURI::root(), $f->path );
                                        $f->icon        = str_replace( DS, '/', $f->icon );
                        } else {
                                        $f->icon = JURI::root() . $f->path;
                        }

Hope it will be helpful,
Regards,
Piotr

Who else is having problems with Linkr displaying unpublished articles?

Poh · 1 year ago

Hi,
I've just started using Linkr and after successfully linking the first 3-4 articles, Linkr is not picking up newly saved articles unless I logout and login again.

Here are the steps of what I did:
1) Create a new uncategorised article and save it.
2) Open an existing article (different article to the one created earlier) and highlighted some text.
3) I click on Linkr -> Articles and selected Uncategorized for both drop-down menu.
4) The newly created/saved article doesn't show up on the final drop-down menu unless I logout and login from Joomla back-end.

I'm not sure if I'm using Linkr incorrectly but I didn't have that problem when linking the first 3-4 newly created article.

Please advise. Thanks.

Partho · 1 year ago

Hi I have installed Linkr in two websites and they work perfectly.
I don't know where i went wrong this time. but the linkr button refuses to show.
And when I try to uninstall the Linkr button plug-in I get this message.

"Plugin Uninstall: Manifest File invalid or not found
Uninstall Plugin Error"

if I enable the Plugin- It crashes my administrator.

Please help

Is there a way to correct this manually via FTP etc.

Partho · 1 year ago

Sorry I worked it out.
I manually replaced the two files in the plugins>editors-xtd>
and enables the plug-in and bingo everyhting was working again.

thanks for the super extension :)

l33p · 1 year ago

@ Poh:

You're not using it wrong. That's probably due to caching, and needs to be fixed. I'll look into that too.

@ Partho:

Great!

Poh · 1 year ago

Thanks for the quick respond and thanks for creating this great extension.

egy_st3alth · 1 year ago

hello,
the component have an error when i try to install it
i need the manual way to install it
thanks

l33p · 1 year ago

Hi
What version of Joomla! are you using?

egy_st3alth · 1 year ago

pleeeeease help

ian · 1 year ago

I can't link to anchor points between tabs within the same article (jch tabs) but this may be a template issue (ja_purity). Any ideas how to make this work?

Ian

l33p · 1 year ago

Linkr doesn't have that functionality at this moment. It would be interesting to see Linkr work with jch tabs...

For now, there's nothing you can do about it :( But I'll add it to my "todo" list

Oran · 1 year ago

Please help! I installed Linkr, the installation was successful and I know have a link under "components" called "linkr" - it is a help file. HOWEVER, when going to edit an article, I see NO Linkr button, link, option. Even not when I open "external linking window". HELP! What am I doing wrong?

Oran · 1 year ago

PS. I have enabled Plugins and am using the latest version of Joomla.

Oran · 1 year ago

No answer yet....?

l33p · 1 year ago

Note that there are two plugins. You need to make sure the button, called "Editor Button - Linkr", is enabled, and not only the "Content - Linkr" plugin. You should see the button appear next to the "Image", "Read More" and "Page Break" buttons.

Melissa · 1 year ago

I installed Linkr on Jooma 1.56 with Tiny Mice

The Linkr editor plugin has been enabled.

However, I can seem to activate the Linkr Related Articles and the other options

marrett · 1 year ago

Hi

I installed Linkr and its 2 plugs in on a Joomla 1.56 localhost site ( running WAMP ).

I go to my articles and the Linkr button is there.

However, I am unable to activate any of the links under "Tools" or "Link".

Hence I cant use Linkr at all .Please help

l33p · 1 year ago

@ Marrett and Melissa

What are the browsers your using? Linkr uses a lot of javascript, so it assumes that you have javascript enabled in your browser too.

marrett · 1 year ago

Hi
Thanks for the prompt response.
I found the problem - I have to indicate the " Frontpage " field to " No " in Content -Linkr plugin and then it works .I am using the JoomlaArt Teline II template .I think it has something to do with how the template was structured ?

Now I have another problem.I want to change the title " Related Articles " to " Other Useful Articles " .I change it at " Content-Linkr plugin but the title still appears as " Related Articles "

I am using Google Chrome with Javascript enabled .The editor is JCE
Thanks
Marrett

marrett · 1 year ago

Solved title problem.Apparently my localhost/template/J1.56 and Linkr combination needed a system restart to get the new title displayed.Thanks

By the way a wish list : admin can select to have titles displayed in any color and also to have "box' or table around the articles chosen to be displayed.

A very useful extension. Thank you very much. Will vote the extension as the choice extension in Joomla !

l33p · 1 year ago

Great!
Since you had to reboot everything, the problem is probably due to caching. I'll have to add that to the FAQs page.

The articles are already displayed inside a "div" element, with the class "linkr-rl". But I'll take note of your suggestion, and I'll add more flexibility to customize the look through CSS styles.

Thanks for the feedback.

Sela · 1 year ago

Hi eveybody,
I'm using Linkr but I've changed my folder with files, is not "images" but "uploaded" (in the same level as "images")
In the site's settings I've modified my media folder, but Linkr show me only the "images" folder.
How can I show also the "uploaded" folder`?

l33p · 1 year ago

The current version of Linkr has some problems with caching. Try closing the browser and logging in again.

Eric Leung · 1 year ago

I am using linkr to allow users from the frontend to create links in articles to files for download. This seems to work fine but I want to change the starting directory. Right now when I click the linkr button, and Link->Files, it starts out at the Joomla! root directory and I need to navigate down to where the files I want to link are stored. Any way to set the starting point?

l33p · 1 year ago

There's no way of setting an initial directory :(
But that's an interesting suggestion.

l33p · 1 year ago

@ Piotr

I don't think its a problem in Joomla, Its more a bug in Linkr (which I never would have seen myself ! ) .

Your workaround does work, and I've already added this fix to my ToDo list.

Thanks for bringing that up,
Frank

Ben Kilah · 1 year ago

HI there,

Thanks for an awesome plugin!

I have one question tho. Whenever we highlight text and use the Linkr function, once we have selected the link and closed the linkr window, the text with the link always gets moved to the top of the document rather then staying at the original position.

Is there some code I need to change in the javascript to fix this?

Thanks
Ben

l33p · 1 year ago

Unfortunately not. Linkr creates the links, but Joomla! inserts it into the article and closes the box.

Others have had the same problem. I have a few questions for you:

- Whats the browser your using? and what OS?
- If you don't select any text, but you place your cursor inside the text somewhere, does the link still get inserted at the top?
-If you try inserting a "Related Links" or "Bookmarks" code, does it get inserted at the top too?

I would test all of these myself, but I can't reproduce that bug!

Thanks for your help

Ben Kilah · 1 year ago

Hi francis,

I'm using IE7 on Vista 64.

Still does it with the latest version :(

Another quick question for you. The only folder that appears in my files list when i'm in the root directory is the "images" folder. I'd love to be able to link to files that docman has uploaded so I can keep a central repository of all files.

Is there an array of allowed directory names or is there something I am missing.

Cheers,
Ben

bak1 · 1 year ago

Hi

I have installed it, activated it, but still don't see how i can't see how to insert internal links in a article. I don't see any Linkr button.

Please help.

l33p · 1 year ago

@ bak

Make sure BOTH the content and button plugins have been enabled. to see the button, try and edit an article. The button should appear next to the "images" link or "Page Break".

Poh · 1 year ago

Hi,

Stupid question... if I've previously installed Linkr but would like to install the new version. Can I just install the button, component & plugin or do I need to uninstall the previous version first?

Thanks.

l33p · 1 year ago

Yup, you should uninstall the previous version.

carlo · 1 year ago

How do I upgrade? Dis.installing the old version and reinstalling the new version? Or thereem is any other way?

Is there an italian translation? I will offer to do it... if and when i have time..

Thanks

carlo · 1 year ago

sorryyyyyyyy I did not see the last post with the reply to halm mine question...

Paul · 1 year ago

Weeirdd. I installed the newest version (s). I hit the LINKR icon at the bottom. The window pops up... but no matter what I click on, nothing happens. Its like all the links are inactive/dead.... heard of this before? And what did I do wrong? :( This seems like the perfect tool for me to use along with sh404sef!

Paul · 1 year ago

Sorry, update for ya. If I navigate to an article with Linkr turned on in IE7, I get errors and cannot continue. As soon as I turn it off, it works just fine. I don't know if one thing has to do with the other, but I use FF anyway. :) Thanks!

Helga · 1 year ago

Linkr won't show any articles, no matter where I click in the pop-up. Firebug gets following errors :

missing ; before statement (in com_linkr/assets/help.js line 13)
LinkrHelper has no properties (in the html created by linkr on the webpage)
LinkrAPI is not defined (in the html created by linkr on the webpage)

Anyone else having this problem?

I'm using Firefox 2 and IE7.

l33p · 1 year ago

@ Helga & Paul

The problem was that the wrong script file was packaged with Linkr by mistake... The two plugins are ok, but you should download the component part (now 2.2.3a) with the fix. That should fix everything.

Paul · 1 year ago

That did the trick! Much appreciated.

Craig · 1 year ago

I believe I am having the same issue as Paul and Helga. The pop-up window never returns a list of articles or menu items to choose from. The link to Files and Contacts works fine. I installed the 2.2.3a component per the instructions, but am still having this problem. I'm on FireFox 3.0.2 and also tested it in IR 6.X.

Shawn · 1 year ago

I just wanted to thank you for sharing your hard work with a beginner. I offer a special thank you for the time and resources you provided for the nice documentation, as well.

Mori · 1 year ago

Greets. I was wondering if anyone knows how to change the plugin to obtain a different url for the link. Right now it's giving me
http://localhost/mywebsite/index.php?option=com...
but I just want to have
http://localhost/mywebsite/index.php?option=com...
How would you go about doing that?

Thanks

l33p · 1 year ago

@ Craig
hmm.. try clearing your browser's cache.

@ Mori
If your using Linkr 2.2.3, you can change that in the plugin parameters. See the "FAQs" page in your site's back-end.

Frank

Patrick · 1 year ago

Hello everybody,

i have this problem that when i press the "create links" button nothing happens in internet explorer 7 but it does work in google chrome. Can anybody explain or help me how to get this working on internet explorer 4

l33p · 1 year ago

IE Problem

I made some changes to the component. But before I post it up, I want to know if it works for you. You need to uninstall 2.2.3a and install 2.3.3b: http://codes.statsful.com/files/com.linkr_2.2.3...

No need for uninstalling the plugins.
Frank

Patrick · 1 year ago

First let me apologize for not answering directly. I have tried the component but it still doesn't show anything in internet explorer. Could you please look at it again.
Thank you for your help.

Nick · 1 year ago

Is there a way to create a link that links to an entire section? I am trying to create a restaurant menu and I have 3 menus (dinner, dessert, and wine) and I am making each menu item (such as dishes and wines) as their own article. The menu page itself is a "section blog layout" and I would like to create a link that would open the "section blog layout" with all the articles shown.

l33p · 1 year ago

@Nick
No, there isn't. You would have to create a menu link first. That sounds like a feature to add to future versions...

@Ben Kilah
To choose which directories to show in the files list, go to "Administrator » Components » Linkr » Parameters" and type in the folders you would like to display for browsing.

Internet Explorer problem
I uploaded a fix which works for me. You can download it here: http://codes.statsful.com/files/com.linkr_2.2.3...

Julian · 1 year ago

Hi,

This statement on you web does not make sense? can you link to articles or not?

Can Linkr create links to articles?
No. Linkr is a tool for adding links to articles and improving SEO for your site. If you want to create a new link, you need to use the Menu Manager.

l33p · 1 year ago

Linkr can link to articles, but it cant create menu links.

If the menu link (e.g. "example.com/about-us.html") already exists, than Linkr will help you link to it. But if it does not exist, and you want to create it, you need to use the Menu Manager.

regards,
Frank

Aman · 1 year ago

Hi,
I have tried everything as you have stated, b ut I cant see the Linkr Button any where in the article page. Its been activated from plugin manager.

What should I do?

Robbie · 1 year ago

Is it possible to remove the article ID from the URL? As it stands, my URLs consist of the article ID, followed by the article name: e.g. http://site.com/month/44-article-name

Is it at all possible to have the URL only list the article name? If so, where would I find documentation on how to do this?

Kindly,
Robbie in Florida

scott maxworthy · 1 year ago

Hi All

Great extension just one little problem I'm having

When bookmarking the links generated are "http:www." instead of "http://www."?

l33p · 1 year ago

@ Robbie
Unfortunately, Linkr doesn't decide how your URLs look like. To remove the article ID, you would have to download a "SEF plugin" like sh404SEF or ARTIO JoomSEF. You can find some here: http://extensions.joomla.org/component/option,c...

@ Aman
If "Editor - Linkr Button" is activated then it should show. Is it just the Linkr button that's missing? or are you missing the "image" and "read more" buttons too? Also, make sure you're using the latest version of Linkr on Joomla 1.5.1 or later.

@ Maxworthy
I don't know how that can happen :S If you add "related links" with Linkr, do they show properly? Also, do you have a SEF plugin installed? Let me know and I will look into it..

l33p · 1 year ago

Sorry,

SEF Plugins are here: http://extensions.joomla.org/index.php?option=c...

Robbie · 1 year ago

Thanks for the speedy response... I'll look into it.

paulissen · 1 year ago

I uploaded a pdf-file through Linkr, it works just fine, except for the destination folder. According to the documentation the deafult folder is /images, but the pdf-file landed in the root.
Also I was not able to ad lookuo-folders for Linkr via the admin menu.
When I try to link a file I should be able to choose between several menu's but Linkr doesn't sho them.

Can you give me some clues.

Thanks

paulissen · 1 year ago

The problem is fixed now. Probably I used an older version.

Linkr for President

l33p · 1 year ago

great lol

Matt · 1 year ago

Linkr is great, but how can I force it to make a secure/SSL link??

l33p · 1 year ago

You would have to manually edit the link to add "https://your-site" for a secure link.

raffy · 1 year ago

First of all, thank you for this great extension!
I noticed only a thing:
Environment:
An aritcle shown also on front page with an internal link to another article, and with a read more button.
On front page the link differs fron the one shown inside the full article page (read more).
Example
In front page: http://www.robotale.net/robotalecms/component/c...
In article page:
http://www.robotale.net/robotalecms/the-news/28...

Can you help me?

Thank you!
Raffy

l33p · 1 year ago

Hi Raffy

I can see you have SEF turned on in your web site. Every time you visit your web site, the links are built by Joomla's SEF plugin. That means that Linkr doesn't control how your links look like in the end.

Linkr was made that way so that you can decide if you want to use Joomla's SEF solution or other solutions, or change solutions at any time.

I think there talking about "duplicate URLs" (like yours) in the forum. There probably going to fix this in a future release.

Frank

maccs · 1 year ago

Hi all,
I have a problem!

why obtein this error:

403 - Invalid Token

with linkr version:
com.linkr_2.2.3_2008-10-13
Joomla version:
1.5.7

Thanks

Maccs

l33p · 1 year ago

Hi! where do you get this error? is it when your linking an article? In any case, you should try refreshing the page, or closing and re-opening the Linkr box.

Frank

sHuRuLuNi · 1 year ago

OK, how would I go on extending this for linking to Mosets Tree Listing?
Basically, I wanna be able to link a phrase in content with the respective Mosets Tree Listing. I had a look on the plugin & component source but couldn't (yet:) figure out how to do it. Is it possible at all?

sHuRuLuNi · 1 year ago

OK, I managed to bring up the Mtree Categories in the Dropdown, and I can select a category, but then this shows ALL listings (not only those for THAT category), and when I select one listing I get a "bad request". When I use "search" I get the message I should type at least 3 characters. I can't for the life of me figure out why.

sHuRuLuNi · 1 year ago

Anyone?

l33p · 1 year ago

Hi

If you type in more than 3 letters in the search box, you shouldn't get this message. Post back here if you do.

Frank

sHuRuLuNi · 1 year ago

I think you missunderstood. The search issue was for Mosets Tree, which I am trying to make Linkr work with. As I said, I managed to bring up the Mosets Tree Listing Categories in the Dropdown, and I can select one, but then I get "bad request". And if i simply search for something (yes, more than 3 letters) I get the message I wrote in the post above. So, the search DOES work for Articles, but my Problem is how to extend Linkr to also work with Mosets Tree?

l33p · 1 year ago

Ok. This might be a bug. Let me check it out and get back to you. You're using Mosets Tree in Legacy mode right?

sHuRuLuNi · 1 year ago

Yes. But, as you know mtree is not supported in Linkr, so I had to basically "massacre" the articles_menu.php just to modify it and try to make it work with Mtree :). Would be nice if there was a "real" articles_mtree.php.

l33p · 1 year ago

Ok. If you know a little bit of JavaScript, then you can create a plugin to add Mosets Tree to Linkr. See http://codes.statsful.com/linkr-api

I was trying to download Mosets Tree, but there doesn't seem to be a registration area on the web site. Do you think you could send me a copy of the installation file?

Tom · 1 year ago

I set up website on localhost and your extension worked great.
Uploaded site to siteground and get the following error when I try to edit articles with Linkr button enabled

Fatal error: Call to undefined method stdClass::onDisplay() in /home/tdmoxam/public_html/libraries/joomla/html/editor.php on line 261

If I disable button, I can edit articles

l33p · 1 year ago

Hi Tom. Do you know what version of PHP is on siteground?
I'll try to see how you can get that error.

Tom Moxam · 1 year ago

PHP versions currently supported are: PHP 5.0, PHP 5.1 and PHP 5.2

l33p · 1 year ago

A new version will be released soon, hopefully it fixes that issue. I'll post back here when it's ready.

Tom Moxam · 1 year ago

Need help getting LINKR to work on Siteground.

Site worked great building on localhost, but, when i uploaded to siteground could not edit articles.

When I disable linkr it works fine?

What happens exactly? do you get a blank page? or an error message?

Tom Moxam · 1 year ago

fabricio · 1 year ago

I'm getting a problem with the URL not showing corretly. I'm getting http://meneame.net/submit.php?url=http:elpp.es/... inseat of http://meneame.net/submit.php?url=http://elpp.e.... I've got sh404SEF installed.

fabricio · 1 year ago

OK digging throught the code I found the problem to be in $this->_furl which is returning http:site instead of http://site .Where is the value coming from? I cant find on the global configuration where to add site URL...

l33p · 1 year ago

There's no global configuration for that. The value comes from variables in Joomla, so it's automatically set.
I checked www.elpp.com and the links seem to be fine. Did you fix this yourself? I would be glad to add this fix to the next release.

Frederik · 1 year ago

It look s a great solution, because I despered need to link too PDF files.
Hoewever, when i hit the linkr button, I see only link_article and nothing else.
Can't browse too files en can't browse directorys. Please how do I solve this?
Thanks!

Frederik · 1 year ago

Problem Solved.
Plugin seems to be corrupt. I removed linkr from de database, installed again, everythinks works fine now!

l33p · 1 year ago

Great! I'll double check the installation files to make sure there's no mistakes.

marco · 1 year ago

i have a problem with your plug in.
i installed (and activated) it but i can't see any button it in my editor.
i have joomla 1.5.8. and the default editor
Thank'you for your job and for your answer
Marco

l33p · 1 year ago

make sure you activate both plugins. did you activate "Editor Button - Linkr" as well?
If you did and the button still doesnt show, do you see the "Read More" button?

If the only button that doesn't show is the Linkr button, it might have something to do with the editor.

marco · 1 year ago

thank'you.
Now your job works well.
It was all ok. I modified nothing and it........ works.
I don't know waht happened !
Marco

Pete · 1 year ago

Linkr is great and I use it a lot. I would however like the popup window to be higher, how can I tweak this setting?

Pete

l33p · 1 year ago

Unfortunately, that can't be changed, since the popup window is automatically centered (not by Linkr).

A new version will be released soon, maybe the size should be editable?

Matthew · 1 year ago

In the bookmarks it removes the // at the end of the http://.

So for the stumble, it has the URL: http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=http:www....

which causes stumbleupon to be confused as it's not a valid URL.

l33p · 1 year ago

You're not the first to report a problem like that. But when I visit http://www.polarisrising.com/november-2008.html the links seem to be fine... Did you fix this yourself? or are you still getting that problem?

Matthew · 12 months ago

yes, I did a code hack.

I replaced in plugins/content/linkr_content.php :
$this->_furl = str_replace(JURI::base(true).'/','',JURI::base());
with
$this->_furl = "http://www.polarisrising.com";

without this, it has what I described above

Loh · 1 year ago

There isn't a Save or Submit button in the popup box when I click on Linkr button in an article. That is, i cannot save the changes i make.

Loh · 1 year ago

I've figured that out .. now I'm feeling a little dumb for asking that question lol

Now another dumb question : Can a bookmark (eg digg) open in a new window? I don't want my visitors to leave my site.

l33p · 1 year ago

hmm.. you would have to edit that yourself, in "Administrator » Components » Linkr » Bookmarks" and by selecting the bookmark you want to edit. To change Digg for example, you would have to add " target="_blank" " before href="...

I'm starting to think that there should be a way to automate this..

Do you have anymore stupid questions? lol im just kidding.. this is what the Support page is for.

Loh · 1 year ago

Thanks for the quick response, I'm going to do that now, yeah, makes more sense for it to open in a new window or a popup. I was planning to use addthis if there's no way to hack the target= ..

I did not say stupid, I said dumb .. well though they mean the same thing, but it sounds cuter lol

Schley Andrew Kutz · 1 year ago

If you change

//$index = 'index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id='. $id .'&catid='. $cid;

to

$index = 'index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=' . $id . '&Itemid=' . $id;

And then turn on Joomla's rewrite capabilities then URL will be rendered normally without the article ID. This looks much nicer IMO.

l33p · 12 months ago

Hi

You can leave it that way if it works for you. Linkr builds the links the same way Joomla! does, that way it can stay compatible with other extensions, especially SEF extensions.

I am getting a 'invalid token' error when trying to install Linkr on my Joomla 1.5.8. website...

What is causing this error?

l33p · 12 months ago

Try using the latest version of Linkr.

If you're already using the latest version of Linkr, then there might be a bug in your Joomla! installation. Try closing the window and logging in again. If you still get that error, post back here.

Hi - This extension looks fantastic, except that I can't quite get it to work for me! I've got the same problem people have mentioned before - the URL is returned as "http:site.com" rather than "http://site.com". I can't see an indication on here about how people have fixed it. Any thoughts?

l33p · 12 months ago

Yes.. I would also like to know how they fixed it. Are you still getting that problem today?

Tod · 12 months ago

Great extension - much better than other social bookmarking plugins!

But is there a way to make the bookmarks appear at the top of the article, instead of the bottom? Or, even better, how about being able to choose some bookmarks at the top and others at the bottom?

Just my suggestions for future releases :)

l33p · 12 months ago

That's a good idea. This will definitely be taken into consideration.

Thanks for the suggestion!

ball.in.th · 12 months ago

Hi,

This extension is great. I love it. I am having a little problem with it regarding SEF though. When a link is created when SEF is on, once SEF is turned off, the created link still points to the SEF style and would no longer work.

ball.in.th · 12 months ago

More information about problem with SEF: it seems the links are created correctly (index.php?...), but once the article has been edited and saved when SEF is turned on, all links would get changed to the SEF style permanently. After this, once SEF is turned off, all links would no longer work.

l33p · 12 months ago

Are you using an SEF extension? Or a content plugin/extension?

ball.in.th · 12 months ago

I enable all SEO Settings in Global Configuration. There's no other SEF or content extensions. It sounds like you're unable to reproduce this problem. hmmm I am using the TinyMCE editor, do I have to change anything there? The editor has code cleanup options.

l33p · 11 months ago

TinyMCE is probably not the problem. I guess I'll have to look into it deeper.. You're using Joomla 1.5.8?

Clive Churchyard · 11 months ago

Hi there

I've installed as per your instructions but am unable to find the Linkr button
I am running Joomla 1.5.7 will this be my issue?
Cheers
Clive

Clive Churchyard · 11 months ago

Just tried it on a 1.5.8 installation and still don't see the button in the editor
Help!!

l33p · 11 months ago

Hi

Make sure you activated the two plugins. The button plugin is called "Editor Button - Linkr" and the other one is called "Content - Linkr".

Herman van Delen · 11 months ago

Something went wrong with the Linkr installation so I want to uninstall and reinstall Linkr but get the message "Plugin Uninstall: Manifest File invalid or not found ". Is there an alternative way to uninstall Linkr? Thanks!

l33p · 11 months ago

You'll need to access the files in your site.

Try browsing to "plugins/content" to see if there is anything called "linkr_content". Delete those files.

Then, there might also be a file in "plugins/editors-xtd" called linkr_button. Delete those files too.

If you can access your database, you should check your joomla database for the plugin entries in the "jos_plugins" table. delete anything called Linkr (there should be one or two entries).

This might not be necessary: try closing your window and re-opening it, and re-downloading Linkr,

-Frank

CK · 11 months ago

Is it possible for Related Items to be limited to categories/sections? Currently it is pulling all types of content even those that aren't supposed to be there.

I know there's the option to Exclude items manually but it only takes care of existing unrelated content, the problem will be back when new content is added down the road

l33p · 11 months ago

No. But that's a feature I'm looking to implement soon enough.

l33p · 11 months ago

A newer Linkr was uploaded today. I suggest you try it out, since it fixes some of the issues reported here.

-Frank

McBirdie · 11 months ago

I've just recently switched over to SEF--using the Joomla standard set up, not an additional component. Now, though, my Linkr button doesn't work when I'm trying to insert links into my articles. I was getting a 404 error until I reinstalled everything.

Now it works fine for 'articles', but when I click to have it select files or menu items, it pops up the main page of my site in the Linkr box. Any ideas on how to fix this?

l33p · 11 months ago

It looks like I made a type in the code. I'll upload a fix today or tomorrow.

You can easily fix this manually by looking for the file "administrator / components / com_linkr / views / articles / view.html.php". At the end of the file (line 151) there is a line:

//$doc->setBase( $c );

which needs to be changed to

$doc->setBase( $r );

This will fix the problem.

McBirdie · 11 months ago

Thank you so much! I really need to learn such magicks. :)

pvd · 11 months ago

I've got a problem and I'm not sure where the culprit is. I have TinyMCE and SEF turned on, and I can use Linkr to add the links. Suppose I have a "History" page with this URL:

http://www.cfcnews.net/who/history.html

Then I use Linkr to add a link to a "Resources" page in another section. It appears to work. But, on the front-end, users see this link:

http://www.cfcnews.net/who/history/75-resources...

Unfortunately I wanted it to create THIS link:

http://www.cfcnews.net/news/resources.html

Also, I use Extended Menus to create side menus for specific sections. And something strange happens: When someone clicks on the wrong link (e.g. shown above with "75-resources.html"), a strange thing happens: the page loads the content from the Resources page, but it's shown with the same page template and sidebar as the History page from which it is linking!

Is this a problem with Linkr, a problem with Extended Menus, or a problem with Joomla and SEF??? Help! I just want to link to other pages and actually GO to those other pages......

pvd · 11 months ago

Additional comment... the SEF doesn't matter; the linked page content loads into the current page layout/sidebar even if I turn off the SEF. Still, is this a Joomla problem or a Linkr problem?

l33p · 11 months ago

The SEF plugin (in your case Joomla SEF) is what decides how your URLs look.

What happens is this: Linkr creates a regular link (with the category and article IDs) and that is saved with your article. Once you enable SEF URLs, every time an article is shown in your web site, the SEF plugin will look for article links (whether they were created by Linkr or not) and replace them with what it thinks should be the SEF URL.

It's been noted, and the Joomla! developers are aware that for one article, different URLs are generated, depending on where you are inside the Web site. In fact, the J! people are working on a way to have 1 URL per article only.

You mentioned that you would like your URLs to look a specific way (without any numbers i think). That's a feature that many site owners want. That's why Linkr doesn't interfere with the link-building. If you find an SEF plugin (other than the default) that you like, just install it and use it. None of your links created by linkr will be broken.

Just post back here if you need anymore details. You can find some SEF plugins here: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/site-ma...

faizan · 11 months ago

hi1
i have a sections for events, news and opinions
they all have a category called human rights
now i what i want is that when a user click on the menu button called human rights he/she sees news ,opinions and events related to human rights.
in short how can i link a menu item to different categories

l33p · 11 months ago

Well.. Linkr can't really do that. My best guess is, instead of having 3 sections, you should have one section called human rights, and 3 categories for events, news, and opinions. That way, you can create a menu link to the human rights section.

Todd Gray · 10 months ago

My add link / edit link buttons vanished in JCE Joomla Content Editor after installing Linkr component, plug-in, button. Is there a fix? I didn't see anything about this in FAQ.

l33p · 10 months ago

So, all the other buttons are there except for that one? I don't know how that happened. Try closing the browser and logging in again.

Scorptech · 10 months ago

Hi, I've started to use linkr and found it to be very good however, when you setup a customer html module and you setup a link from the module to an article, the article displays but the rest of the modules on the page don't show up. Example: I've gone into the "who's online" module to add it to the article, but the article doesn't show in the list as it is an article, not a menu item.

So do you have any idea's why I cannot get the rest of the modules on the page (I don't have the modules on all the pages for specific reasons). This is happening on all the Linkr module links.

If you want to view the website to see what is happening let me know.

Regards

Scorptech

l33p · 10 months ago

Im not sure I understand what you mean by "module links". But I can tell you that, if your linked page doesn't look like you expected, it might be because you choose the wrong ItemID. For example, when you link an article, you can click on "configure link" and the last option will be to pick an "Itemid" (because you might have different menu links for one article).

cat · 10 months ago

Ok this is silly, but I just want to make sure. I have an older version and I want to set up the new version. Do I just uninstall the old and reinstall? will my existing links break? what is the right procedure.
Thanks,
Cat

l33p · 10 months ago

You should uninstall the component, the plugin and the button, and reinstall al three.

Unless you're using Linkr 1, your links wont be broken

-good luck!

Chelena · 10 months ago

Hi

I would like the "read more" to show BEFORE related articles, it does that with only plugin installed not after I installed the component, I want the related articles to show only if you view the full article.

Thank you for a very usable component.

Chelena · 10 months ago

Got it sorted out, I thought front-page means front-page component, also means here intro , thank you it works like a charm.

Shiller · 10 months ago

How do I prevent an article to be shown in the RELATED ARTICLES?

l33p · 10 months ago

If you're adding "related articles" manually, you can exclude individual articles by clicking on "Show all articles" and un-checking unwanted articles.

For automatic "related articles", this isn't a possibility for the moment.

Finn · 10 months ago

Scandinavian umlauts do not work when linking to another article. Can it be somehow fixed?

l33p · 10 months ago

Do you mean you can't link to text like "ä" or you can't link to an article with a title like "ä"? In any case, an example would be helpful. I'm sure it can be fixed.

Morktral · 10 months ago

Hello I´m using J1.5.9 with MyBlog (2.0.1 Build 282). I used your Linkr component, which is a great help to me, but now, on my Blog page I get this error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /var/www/virtual/dunklekreaturen.de/htdocs/plugins/content/linkr_content.php on line 98

Any Idea about this?
(My Website is http://www.dunklekreaturen.de, but I have disabled the plugin...)

l33p · 10 months ago

I'll get a trial version of the component and try to figure out the problem. I'll let you know what happens

Morktral · 10 months ago

Any news about this?

l33p · 10 months ago

I tried it out, and I do get the same problem. It is coming from MyBlog. Here's the quick fix:

Find the file "plugins / content / linkr_content.php"

On line 42 (near the top) there should be a line that looks like: "$this->loadLanguage('plg_content_linkr_content', JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR);".

Right after that, add the following lines:
--------------------------------------------------------
if (!$this->params || empty($this->params))
{
$db = & JFactory::getDBO();
$db->setQuery(
' SELECT '. $db->nameQuote('params') .
' FROM #__plugins WHERE '. $db->nameQuote('element') .
' = '. $db->Quote('linkr_content'));
$params = (string) $db->loadResult();
$this->params = new JParameter($params);
}
--------------------------------------------------------

If you can't edit that file for some reason, let me know.

-Frank

Morktral · 10 months ago

Thank you for your help. It´s working :) Great plugin, very helpful!

bela · 10 months ago

I'm using Linkr extensively and find it very handy. Unfortunately, if in the link text there are "exotic" (non-english) characters, I get their 2-byte UTF representation that must always be fixed manually.
Example:
FĂŠkteĂĄkĂśzlĹ�

What am I doing wrong?

Pal · 10 months ago

I have the same problem. I think it must be about the encoding of the plugin. I will post here if I figure it out.

l33p · 10 months ago

Hi

hmm.. Could one of you provide me with an example text that results in gibberish (eg FĂŠkteĂĄkĂśzlĹ�)?

Pal · 10 months ago

"Lue lisää" transforms to "Lue lisÃ¤Ã¤ Â»"
"Ympäristönsuojelu maksaa, mutta ympäristön pilaaminen vasta kalliiksi käy." transforms to "YmpÃ¤ristÃ¶nsuojelu maksaa, mutta ympÃ¤ristÃ¶n pilaaminen vasta kalliiksi kÃ¤y."

These excamples are in Finnish.

l33p · 10 months ago

Alright, I'll look into it. In the mean time, I would like to know what browser and what editor you're using.

Pal · 10 months ago

MacOSX Leopard, Firefox 3, standard TinyMCE 2 editor. :) Thanks for your help. This extension is great and should be added to Joomla core.

bela · 10 months ago

To complement:
Also Firefox 3 (US English) , but on XP SP3 (also US)
Editor is TinyMCE 2.0

"AntennĂĄk ĂŠs hullĂĄmterjedĂŠs" instead of
"Antennák és hullámterjedés"
(in Hungarian.)

Thanks for looking into this issue!

bela · 10 months ago

A quick note: sometimes the Category dropdown list contains gibberish, some other time not. The Section dropdown and the final link text is invariably gibberish.

l33p · 10 months ago

I would like you to try and re-install Linkr (just the component part). Your links wont be affected, but if you added new bookmakrs, you should export them from "Administrator > Components > Linkr > Import / Export".

When you uninstall "Linkr" from "Components", re-install it from this link: http://codes.statsful.com/files/com.linkr.utf8t...

Also, do you know what encoding your browsers use? If you have time to check, edit an article and open Linkr in a new window (by left-clicking the Linkr button).
In Firefox, in the toolbar after "File" and "Edit", go to "View > Character Encoding". What does it say?

Let me know how the new component works. Take your time.

-Frank

zerochaos · 10 months ago

how do I link an image in a custom module to a word in an article with linkr

l33p · 10 months ago

Edit an article, open Linkr, and click on "Files". Then, browse to the file you want to link.

If the folder is not shown, you'll need to log in as an Administrator and update the list of folders in "Administrator > Components > Linkr > Parameters > Global Configuration > Folders"

Brian Pence · 10 months ago

in linkr_content.php, I believe a space before the title is missing. This causes validation failure when validated with the w3c.com html validator.

'<div class="hasTip linkr-bm-b"title="'. $title .'">'.
should be
'<div class="hasTip linkr-bm-b" title="'. $title .'">'.

l33p · 10 months ago

That's true. Since you've found it, you can add the space yourself. That will be fixed in the future.

Sandra Both · 10 months ago

I have an article that has a link to it in my menu. In a second article I would like to link to this first article and use the itemid that corresponds to the menu-item this first article is in. But when I click 'Configure link' in Linkr, the dropdownlist for 'Menu Link' does not show this menu-item. It only shows the name of the first article with '(no itemid)'.

I debugged a little and found that the query built up in models\articles_article.php has the '_' character in 'com_content' escaped with a slash, like this:

SELECT id,name,alias FROM #__menu WHERE link LIKE 'option=com\_content' AND link LIKE 'view=article' AND link LIKE 'id=1' ORDER BY id

When I run the query without the slash it does return rows from jos_menu.

Am I doing something wrong? Or is this a bug somehow?

Joomla: 1.5.9
Linkr:
com.linkr_2.3.0b_2009-01-04
plg.button_2.3.0_2008-12-22
plg.linkr_content_2.3.0_2008-12-22

Thanks for any help!

l33p · 10 months ago

It looks like you've stumbled onto a bug! This actually affects many other things, but if you haven't got a quick fix for this, try this:

Go back to that file (admin/.../models/articles_article.php) and look for line 160 (3/4th of the way down). You should see a comment "// Get Itemids". Change line 163 from "$this->_Q('option=com_content', true)" to "$this->_db->Quote('option=com_content')"

That should do the trick.

stevetsi · 10 months ago

I tried the fix above, but I also still get '(no itemid)' after the article name (when configuring the link).

Any suggestions?

l33p · 10 months ago

There's always going to be an option with "no itemid". That is the default option. Sometimes, however, you might create a menu-link to an article, for which you're going to have specific conditions (e.g. modules, article title, etc.). In those cases, you'll be able to choose what version of the article you want to link to: either the default version or the "menu-link" version.

For more information, see the Joomla! documentation: http://docs.joomla.org/Adding_a_menu_item_which...

stevetsi · 10 months ago

By the way, the solution to the Item ID issue is MUCH more complicated than it seems at first glance.

In a large website with mulitple templates and many modules assigned to multiple different menu items and positions, it becomes critical to link to the exact URL of the generate page which contains all these elements. In that situation, you really only have ONE Joomla url, mapped to an SEF URL which provides that content.

I use sh404sef to manage my urls. The table jos_redirections has a list of all cached Joomla SEF URLs. What I did (in testing) was to query the 'newurl' field for the option, view, id, etc. and retrieve the EXACT Joomla url which produces the *complete* page view with all module positions and correct template assigned.

This results in a even more powerful tool which is actually able to find a Joomla page as it appears to the end user, which is really what we expect to get of a tool like Linkr, anyway.

l33p · 10 months ago

That would make the links more accurate in your case. But Linkr does not do that because different users might use different SEF plugins. Also, by using the "sf404sef" specific URLs, it makes it harder to make changes in the future. Say for example, you make an update to your Site which affects the way the URLs are built, then are your links become outdated.

By building the links Joomla!'s way, sf404sef will always be able to recognize the URLs and direct the user to the right page.

I have to admit though, in a large Web Site, the URLs might never change, and it might just be simpler to link to the sf404sef URLs...

I'll see if I can think of something. Just post back here if you have any other suggestions.

jan · 10 months ago

I cannot install the third file (com.linkr), i get the message "unable to write entry". I probably did something wrong, but don't know what. Can i install these files by hand (ftp) and in what places do i have to put them? Perhaps jou have an answer for me,
thanks very much! Jan

l33p · 10 months ago

Hi Jan.

I'll first suggest that you try to install it again.

To install it manually, first unzip "com.linkr". Upload the contents of "backend" to the a new folder called "administrator / components / com_linkr" on your site. In that folder, there will be a file called "en-GB.com_linkr.ini". Move that file to "administrator / language / en-GB". Then, upload the contents of "frontend" to a new folder in the root of your site: "components / com_linkr".

Once that is done, there is one file left called "linkr.xml". That file goes in "administrator / components / com_linkr".

From here, you should access your Joomla! database. Find the file "com.linkr / backend / install.sql". Either use that directly to install the tables, or open the file with a text editor, copy the contents and "execute the query" (in phpMyAdmin: either "Run SQL query" or "Import").

Finally, you'll have to add a record to the "jos_components" table ("jos_" will be your database prefix). Access that table and create a new record (in phpMyAdmin: select the table from the left-side navigation and select the "Insert" tab at the top).

Enter the following information (without any quotes):
id: (leave blank)
name: "Linkr"
link: "option=com_linkr"
menuid: (leave blank)
parent: (leave blank)
admin_menu_link: "option=com_linkr"
admin_menu_alt: "Linkr"
option: "com_linkr"
ordering: (leave blank)
admin_menu_img: "components/com_linkr/assets/linkr.gif"
iscore: "0"
params: (leave blank)
enabled: "1"

let me know how this goes

Mike · 10 months ago

I think this is an excellent component, and it's saved me a lot of time. 2 Questions:

When using the Related Articles I need to turn off the CSS, or else each article has 2 bullets in front of each listing. I'm using J 1.58 with ja_purity, JCE and sh404sef. I'm unable to find what I need to change so I can use the CSS version of this tool (related articles). What do I need to change to eliminate that first bullet?

2nd - on the bookmarks tool, how do I get them to align to the left instead of on the right?

Thanks for the excellent extension,

Mike

l33p · 10 months ago

Here's how to fix the two problems:

1- Login to the administration of your Site
2- Go to "Extensions > Plugin Manager" and look for "Content - Linkr"
3- In the plugin parameters, find "Default CSS" (halfway through) and select "No"
4- Find it again (last parameter before "Advanced Parameters") and do the same thing.

You should be able to use your own CSS styles

Anthony McLin · 10 months ago

When the linkr plugin is enabled, it overrides Joomla's settings for php error display, AS WELL as any options set in a php.ini file. This should be considered as a bug because it causes problems in development environments when you want to display bugs.

l33p · 10 months ago

There is a way to disable that. For debugging purposes, you can login to the administration of your Site and go to "Extensions > Plugin Manager" to find "Content - Linkr". There, under "Advanced Parameters", change "Suppress PHP notices" from "yes" to "no"

In the preview it works, but as I publish it it doesn't.

Do you mean the "related links"? I'm not sure if it'll work with your photo gallery. What is the name of your gallery extension?

Dude · 10 months ago

Hi! I am the one who needs to link using Finnish language with umlauts like ä. ö and å (Ä, Ö, Å). you posted this UTF8 test file to test. I installed it and noticed that it works partially: the link text now gets umlauts right. However, there is a weird "ï»¿ï»¿ï»¿ï»¿ï»¿ï»¿ï»¿" line before listing the found articles. And still the prelook of the article doesn't show umlauts right.

Thanks for your great plugin and support!

Hi,

I experienced the same. The most important is that the links are now perfect, as are the contents of the list boxes as well. I also noticed the "weird" lines in front of the list boxes and the glitch with the preview, but the component is totally usable now, as my No. 1. extension to Joomla :-) Many thanks for having this corrected!

I have a little prob. I installed all the three packages and enabled them.
But when I select the text and click on the linkr button, it doesnt appears properly.
Its possible to pick a section, but thats all. The other buttons like tools and also search dont work.

Mozilla Firefox 3.0.6.
But I suppose it's not problem of browser. I also tried IE and it's the same.

No, that's a bug with Linkr. But that shouldn't happen with the latest version. Make sure you get it from http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/linkr2/frs/.

pal · 10 months ago

Okay, I installed the new versions (2.3.1) you linked to earlier. It seems that Linkr cannot connect the database while using the new version. I try to make seach from articles but nothing happens. It just keeps showing two different animated circles at the same time.

This search problem may be due the installation because Joomla didn't accept the XML file. Thus, I made the installation updating the files by hand. I should try to run the sql script in phpmyadmin and try again. I think you have done some changes to the relations.

Now I'm flooding. I ran the sql script and it still does the same thing.I stay with the older version until you have finished 2.3.1.

Thanks. but I don't seem to have any problems installing it though. Did you try uninstalling the earlier version first?

I totally love Linkr. It does exactly what I need it to do. One thing I can't figure out, though. When I add the related articles block, the articles show up in a very random order. Is there any way of sorting them?

Thanks for a great product.

l33p · 9 months ago

Right now there isn't. The aim was that all related articles would have an equal chance of getting listed. You're not the first to come with this question though.

Are you voting to add this feature?

I have category names in Russian.
But when I open Linkr with Linkr buttom,
category list shows Russian category names as gibberish (РљР°С‚РµРіРѕСЂРёСЏ1) .
Looks like encoding problem with Linkr
Database is UTF-general-ci, page is in UTF-8 format.
I am using Joomla 1.5.9 and Firefox.

Yes, that's a problem with Linkr. The newer version will be posted at the top of this thread before it's uploaded to JoomlaCode.org. Make sure to check it out.

Hello, having some weird breadcrumbs issues. Articles that i linked the other day when i initially installed linkr are showing up in the breadcrumbs of the page see here: http://www.okacco.com/newsite/Staff/gayle-ward.... . However, today when im trying to link my articles, i looks like this: http://www.okacco.com/newsite/Staff/jim-dougher... . Breadcrumbs should say Home>Contact Us>Persons Name but today all the ones i link just show Home>Contact Us

Anyone seen this before?

Hi,

when you're linking articles, you sometimes need to pay attention to the ItemID. Before clicking on "get link", click on "configure link" an find the "ItemID" attribute. If there is no "ItemID" attribute, that means the article has no ItemID. Else, a list of possible ItemIDs to choose from will show.

hello,
i really enjoy you component, but please, where is the define the "bm_def_css" or whit class in my css themplate works,,,,

Tks!

l33p · 9 months ago

I'm not sure I understood what you meant.. to disable the default CSS styles, go to "Administrator » Extensions » Plugin Manager » Content - Linkr" and switch the last parameter in "Plugin Parameters" to "No"

kadaffy · 9 months ago

The basic idea is to customize the css.
For example :
if I use with css, the custom icon for bookmark have a hover. With no css, the custom icon for bookmark are position on vertical….
If I want to remove some of that stuff with somthing for my like, where can I find the css file….?

l33p · 9 months ago

There's no css file. but you can find the styles in "plugins / content / linkr_content.php" on line 232 (1/3 of the way down the page).

Let me know if you can't find it.

kadaffy · 9 months ago

exactly what I was looking for. Know the show perfectly as I want them.
Tks very much for help.

bm_def_css is not exactly there, but I’ve manage to find it quick.

Tks again.
