Links Error

[samantha]

Hi Everyone!

My site is up and I'm so excited! Thank you to everyone who has posted on this forum, without you all it wouldn't have been possible! :)

I'm eager to start building my links page and promoting my site, and I installed a contribution for OSC called Links Manager v0.20. It works perfectly except that the links point to my site and then their site eg www.mysite.com.au/www.theirsite. I've racked my brains, read forums, spent many hours testing possible solutions and posted on the OSC forum asking for help, all to no avail. :( Could someone please, please help me on this? It's driving me slowly insane...

You can see what I mean at : http://shadowsphere.com.au/exchange_links.php/lPath/1

Thank you and have a great christmas everyone!

Best wishes,
Samantha. :)

I would guess that you have something incorrectly configured in the contribution, but I don't know this one at all. I suggest that you ask in the Links Manager Support Topic (http://forums.oscommerce.com/index.php?showtopic=45397).

Thanks for the quick reply Steve :)

Yeah I've already posted there but nobody's replied yet...

I'll try reinstalling the contribution again.

Thanks anyway! :D

Try this - you may need to supply the full URL, including the "http://", when you specify your links. I think you are leaving that out which confuses the browser into thinking that it's a page on your site.
