Links added by admin with Reciprocal enabled

[softstor]

I have the Reciprocal Links option enabled. But when the admin user attempts to add a link, the script requires a reciprocal link. Is it possible for the admin user to add a link with the reciprocal link field blank?

[echopulse]

Yes it is. You can do it in the admin panel.

[softstor]

When I try this in the admin I receive the following error message in a big red box:

No reciprocal Link

The link is never added. The only way I am able to add the link is to turn off the reciprocal option.

Well, you can disable your reciprocal checking directly in file then

*** open admin/suggest-link.php in any plain text editor ***

*** find there the following code ***

	if ((!isset($link['recip_valid']) || ($link['recip_valid'] == 1)) && (
			($link['link_header'] == 200) || 
			($link['link_header'] == 301) || 
			($link['link_header'] == 302)))

*** change it to the following ***

	if (($link['link_header'] == 200) || 
			($link['link_header'] == 301) || 
			($link['link_header'] == 302))

*** save changes ***

let me know if there are any problems

Thanks, it works perfectly.

May you please include this change into the next update?

np, already done I completely remade our checking section and gave you (eSyndiCat users) more flexibility in checking configuration

HI:
Simon
Please help me.

I can not find the codes that you said.
The suggest-link script that I used is like this.
How to edit it to make reciprocal link checking disable?

Hi uscasinos,
You may also disable reciprocal links in AdminPanel - > Link Checking
in field Reciprocal Links Checking
check it all to disable.
On should be worked
