Two Linking Option Free with reciprocal & Annual Fee without

[rondelw]

Hello...

My question is how do I get two ways of getting a link posted? I want to do one where it's free in exchange for a reciprocal and I would like to charge $10 a year for a link without a reciprocal. How do I do each of these? My big question is how to set up a llink so it will expire in a year...to get the annual subscription thing going on.

Thank you,

Did you try to create a sponsored plan with 1 year expiration from the admin panel (Manage plans > create...)?

[rondelw]

I did....and when I go to my site: www.solanodirectory.com it shows the options of free and then annual - $10 but it doesn't provide the descripton. I want the free one to be described as "with a reciprocal link" and the other one to describe that it's $10 a year without a reciprocal link. I added the text to the language file that I was supposed to after I created the plan and the description didn't show up. I don't know how to edit the free description though.

All suggestions are appreciated.

Thank you,

Rondel

You need to make those changes in Language file

.

I added the text to the language file that I was supposed to after I created the plan and the description didn't show up. I don't know how to edit the free description though.

How do I edit the text? Would you like a cut and paste of what it is?

Add something like this in your language file-(replace the info to suit yours)
Find this code

'free' => 'Free',

Change to something link this.

'free' => 'Free' with reciprocal - Or whatever you want,


Add or change your Annual to

'annual' => 'Explain here,
'annual ad ' => 'Explain here',

I know it sounds crazy to say yeah It worked...but Yeahhhhhhhhh...it worked...i'm still pretty new...so, I'm still getting aquanted with the script and it's functionality...thank you for the tips...no i'm going to search the forum for info on featured links...I want to find out how you chare to become a featured link?

Thank you,

Just click the button "Add to featured" when you open this link in the admin panel

[rondelw]

I understand the part about clicking the button to make it a featured ad, but I wanted to see if there was a way to charge for that prominent placing. Is there?

[rondelw]

One of the things I learned on my own, which might be worth mentioning is that

'free' => 'Free',
'Free' => 'Free' with reciprocal - Or whatever you want,

won't work because the 'Free' => 'Free' with reciprocal - Or whatever you want, needs to be: 'free' => 'Free' with reciprocal - Or whatever you want,

It's case sensative...that one took me a few minutes to figure out...just thought I'd share...

I added this to english.php -

'free' => 'Free - A reciprocal link is required.',
'SilverSponsorship' => '$1.00 - Your link is listed as a category sponsor for 30 days.',
'GoldSponsorship' => '$5.00 - Your link is listed as a category sponsor for 180 days.',
'PlatinumSponsorship' => '$8.00 - Your link is listed as a category sponsor for 365 days (1 year!).',

The page displays this:
Free - A reciprocal link is required.

$1.00 - Your link is listed as a category sponsor for 30 days. - $1

$5.00 - Your link is listed as a category sponsor for 180 days. - $5

$8.00 - Your link is listed as a category sponsor for 365 days (1 year!). - $8

It looks a little weird since I wanted the price to be at the front and the system automatically displays it after the text I added.

Hi
You can change the order if you modify your suggest-link.tpl file.

*** open your suggest-link.tpl file and find the following code ***
<p class="field"><input type="radio" name="plan" value="{$plan.id}" id="p{$plan.id}" {if $smarty.post.plan eq $plan.id}checked="checked"{/if}/>
<label for="p{$plan.id}"><strong>{$lang[$plan.name]} - {$config.currency_symbol}{$plan.cost}</strong></label></p>

*** change to the following ***
<p class="field"><label for="p{$plan.id}"><strong>{$lang[$plan.name]} - {$config.currency_symbol}{$plan.cost}</strong></label>
<input type="radio" name="plan" value="{$plan.id}" id="p{$plan.id}" {if $smarty.post.plan eq $plan.id}checked="checked"{/if}/>
</p>

*** save changes ***
