Neighbour Links on Detailed Page

[Bangkok Bob]

Hi eSyndiCat Team,

Festive greetings to all and I am wondering if it possible to:

add to a detailed page maybe five random links from the same category as a "more listings like this" sort of feature mainly for surfers who landed directly on the detailed page from a search engine -- possibly just the titles linked to the relevant detail pages inside a custom box.

Best regards,
Bangkok Bob

Hello Bangkok Bob,
***Open view-link.php and find code***

/** breadcrumb formation **/
$bc['viewlink']['url'] = '';
$bc['viewlink']['caption'] = $gDirLang['view_link'];
$breadcrumb = $gDirLayout->print_breadcrumb($category['id'], $bc, 1);
$gDirSmarty->assign_by_ref('breadcrumb', $breadcrumb);

***Before this code add***

$neighbour_links =& $gDirDb->getLinksByCategory($category['id'], 0, 5);
$gDirSmarty->assign_by_ref('neighbour_links', $neighbour_links);

***Save file***
***Open tepmlates/YourTemplate/view-link.tpl and find line of code ***

Hi Professor Dave Baker,

Your hot mods shop is really turning out stuff to order at a very rapid rate!

Just implemented your Alexa Thumbs (http://www.esyndicat.com/forum/post53062-24.html), Random Sort (http://www.esyndicat.com/forum/post54326-5.html) and now going to add your Neighbour Links (http://www.esyndicat.com/forum/post54355-2.html), too.

Many thanks for your quick response and great collection of mods.

This eSyndiCat directory/links exchange script really leaves the competitive products looking seriously less endowed in the feature richness and functionality departments.

Best regards,
Bangkok Bob

[Dave Baker]

Thanks Bob for the positive report about eSyndicat and our work! :friends:

[bunny]

Excellent Sir Baker.

Bangkok Bob... are you using link comments with the Alexa thumbs... or do you have comments disabled?

[Bangkok Bob]

Hi Professor Bryan Ex,

Apologies for the tardy reply as I only just revisited this thread for the post info again.

In answer to your question: I have link comments enabled but without captcha (on Pro version 1.2 install) and the call to the thumbnails scripts is in header.php.

Thanks for your thread about Alexa thumbs -- I lurked in Amazon Web Services forum for how-to info but your thread and posts by Dave Baker were the real mother lode that got me in business with the thumbnail displays.

Best regards
Bangkok Bob

[Bryan Ex]

In answer to your question: I have link comments enabled but without captcha (on Pro version 1.2 install) and the call to the thumbnails scripts is in header.php.
Have you tested actually submitting a comment with your set up? Everything seemed to work fine for me until I clicked on "Submit" and that's when I received a header conflict. If it works for you then I'll need to figure out what is different between our scripts.

[Bangkok Bob]

Hi Bryan,

Yes it works fine for me on the detailed page.

Please feel free to try out this example page (http://www.bangkokworld.com/bars-and-pubs/silom-road/the-duke-of-wellington-l320.html) if you like (comments textarea has minimum of 50 chars set).

Best regards,
Bangkok Bob

$breadcrumb = $gDirLayout->print_breadcrumb($category['id'], $bc, 1);
$gDirSmarty->assign_by_ref('breadcrumb', $breadcrumb);

***Before add***

/** get links for this category **/
$featured_top = ($config->get('order_featured') && $config->get('featured_links')) ? TRUE : FALSE;
$sponsored_top = ($config->get('sponsored_top') && $config->get('sponsored_links')) ? TRUE : FALSE;
$links = $Category->getLinks($category['id'], 0, 10, $featured_top, $sponsored_top, $gDirEditor['id']);

$p = '';
if($category['id'] != '0')
{
$p = $category['path'].'/';
}

$c = count($links);
for($i=0; $i < $c; $i++)
{
$links[$i]['path'] = $p;
}
$gDirSmarty->assign_by_ref('neighbour_links', $links);

***Save file***

[ibs]

ohhh this one is lovely too - real nice, and it works for me real good - - thanks

[Dave Baker]

Esyndicat always at your services! :)

[StanG]

This mod doesn't work for version 2.1.03=(((((

[Dave Baker]

Welcome to our forum StanG,
This modification should work with all 2.1.x versions.
Please try to reimplement this modification.

[ellan]

Ok, I found, it works on 2.1.03, but could you please modify some strings to avoid redisplaying the same links on the view-link page.

Example:
Now:
We are on the view-link page of link #3.
Neighbourhood links:
#1
#2
#3
#4
#5
What I think really shoul be:
We are on the view-link page of link #3
Nrighbourhood links:
#1
#2
#4
#5

Because if they are not really random, let them exclude the link #3. Please. Thank you so much.

PS I used code from post #12. I use version 2.1.03/

Thank you so much.

[ellan]

Up the topic=)

[ellan]

Dear Support, Pelaes PAY ATTENTION AT this topic, it's very important!!!! I still have big problems with this mod, and this is the only thing that makes problems with validation on my SITE!!!!

[John Turner]

Hi ellan,
Here solution for you in compliance with Dave's post #12 here change set to avoid duplicated links display.

change this code

/** get links for this category **/
$featured_top = ($config->get('order_featured') && $config->get('featured_links')) ? TRUE : FALSE;
$sponsored_top = ($config->get('sponsored_top') && $config->get('sponsored_links')) ? TRUE : FALSE;
$links = $Category->getLinks($category['id'], 0, 10, $featured_top, $sponsored_top, $gDirEditor['id']);

$p = '';
if($category['id'] != '0')
{
$p = $category['path'].'/';
}

$c = count($links);
for($i=0; $i < $c; $i++)
{
$links[$i]['path'] = $p;
}
$gDirSmarty->assign_by_ref('neighbour_links', $links);


to the following code

/** get links for this category **/
$featured_top = ($config->get('order_featured') && $config->get('featured_links')) ? TRUE : FALSE;
$sponsored_top = ($config->get('sponsored_top') && $config->get('sponsored_links')) ? TRUE : FALSE;
$links = $Category->getLinks($category['id'], 0, 10, $featured_top, $sponsored_top, $gDirEditor['id']);

$p = '';
if($category['id'] != '0')
{
$p = $category['path'].'/';
}

$c = count($links);
for($i=0; $i < $c; $i++)
{
$links[$i]['path'] = $p;
if($links[$i]['id'] == $link['id'])
{
unset($links[$i]);
}
}
$gDirSmarty->assign_by_ref('neighbour_links', $links);


HTH

[ellan]

Yep, it works=) All is fine. Thnak you. Now I am ready to finish my validation...=)

[kamy81]

After log time I am here again.. I am using eSyndiCat 2.1.02 (Plain) and I saw many update version available on download area but I could not think about to update. Because these long time I missed many things.. Really eSyndiCat team doing good job. All time they are updating.:good:

Could you please change #21 modification to show related links. I mean neighbour links shows same result for all link. It shows recent 10 links in category for all links.But I want to show deferent result in each link details page.

Say,
Link 1 shows neighbour links - recent 1,2,3,4,5...10 links
And link 45 shows neighbour links - recent 1,2,3,4,5...10 links (both links shows same result )

I want to show deferent result for each link. like:
Link 1 will show related links - match with link 1
And link 45 will show related links - match with link 45

Please help with this modification.

[kamy81]

OR it can show random links by category instead neighbor links
