sidebar links modifications to links.php?

Second one, very much possible. Go to links.php, line 244.

There you see

$output .= '<a href="' . $the_link . '"' . $rel . $title . $target. '>';

This one creates the link. So put this around it:


if ($the_link != "https://") {

$output .= '<a href="' . $the_link . '"' . $rel . $title . $target. '>';

}

As for the first, still thinking about it…

Oops. Forget something. A few lines below the thing you just altered, there’s another:

$output .= '</a>';

Do the same with that, so:

if ($the_link != "https://") {
$output .= '</a>';
}

First thing also solved, also quite easy, but with some more changes. Better replace the whole stuff with this (from 244 down to where it says // endwhile, that is):

if ($the_link != "https://") {
$output .= '<a href="' . $the_link . '"' . $rel . $title . $target. '>';
}

if (($row->link_image != null) && $show_images) {
if (strstr($row->link_image, 'http')) {
$output .= "<img src=\"$row->link_image\" $alt $title />";
if ($show_description && ($desc != '')) {
$output .= $between . $desc;
}

} else { // If it's a relative path
$output .= "<img src=\"" . get_settings('siteurl') . "$row->link_image\" $alt $title />";

if ($show_description && ($desc != '')) {
$output .= $between . $desc;
}
}
} else {
$output .= $name;
}

if ($the_link != "https://&quot;) {
$output .= '</a>';
}

if ($show_updated && $row->recently_updated) {
$output .= get_settings('links_recently_updated_append');
}

if (($row->link_image != null) && $show_images) {
if ($show_description && ($desc != '')) {
$output .= $between . $desc;
}
}

$output .= "$aftern";
} // end while

I have placed all the code in from you last post and it has made my site go all out of wack.

take a look: https://www.terminaldusk.com/dev/

the first and second post worked, that third one made everything go haywire.

thanks! maybe i implemented it wrong?
does it mater if i have div’s wrapping the upcoming releases ?

thanks again!

PS!!!!!

I have link category upcoming releases set to generate:
<div class="upcomingReleases"> before </div> after

I have playlist set to generate:
<li><strong> before
</strong> :&nbsp; in between
</li> after

this is the code being generated:

<div id="sidebar">
<li class="pagenav">
<h2>Pages</h2>
<ul>
<li class="page_item"><a href="https://www.terminaldusk.com/dev/?page_id=2" title="About">About</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<h2>Upcoming Releases</h2>
<div class="upcomingReleases">

<li><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Intricate</strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></li>
</div>

That’s probably it, you haven’t closed the div’s. It’s also strange you now have two descriptions on that page..

well i have not changed anything.
I placed your code and now i have this???

Im confused,

i dont think it is placing the after code for the upcoming releases links, which is </div>

I was stupid I think, change the last

if (($row->link_image != null) && $show_images) {

in

if (($row->link_image == null) && $show_images) {

see if that works.

If I look at your code, you haven’t closed the div’s. That should help.

Im not sure what to do, i have placed the </div>
in the after link?

also it’s not showing the descriptions for the playlist

Where in the code have you placed it?

in the admin, where you can specify what comes before, in between, and after a link

Admin > Links > Link Categories
on this page in the formatting section.

?? thanks for helping me with this ??

Hah. Got it. The code pasted weirdly here, and $output .= "$aftern"; is supposed to be $output .= "$after n"; …

$after calls your </div>, not $aftern ??

Aaah. That space between after and n is supposed to be a backslash, which won’t show up here…

ok that fixed the exploded page but it’s still showing double
$desc for upcoming releases and no $desc for current playlist

here is the code it produces now

<div id="sidebar">
<li class="pagenav">
<h2>Pages</h2>
<ul>
<li class="page_item"><a href="https://www.terminaldusk.com/dev/?page_id=2" title="About">About</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<h2>Upcoming Releases</h2>
<div class="upcomingReleases"><a href="https://www.terminaldusk.com/discog/" title="TD004 : Wisp : Building Dragons"><img src="https://www.terminaldusk.com/images/releases/TD004_40x40.jpg" alt="TD004" title="TD004 : Wisp : Building Dragons">TD004 : Wisp : Building Dragons</a>TD004 : Wisp : Building Dragons</div>
