Linklist / Favorites plugin probs

[matse]

After enabling the linklist plugin in my install I get its title dispalyed in the sidebar but there is no way to enter links!
Should there be a menue entry on the admin page?
Thanks for your help!

The linklist event plugin adds a link in your admin menu for adding links, or you can configure the links when clicking on the event plugin in the plugin manager to go to its ocnfiguration page.

Thanks for your reply!
There is no link in the admin menu for adding links.
I have two entries concerning the linklist plugin in the plugins list:
1. event plugins: The entry is not clickable like most others
2. Sidebar plugins: There is an entry that displays the output of an ebevnt plugin. After clicking it I get to a page where I can select an event plugin the output of which should be displayed. There the linklist event plugin is selected. But there is nothing to enter the links.

To get furtehr with this problem - should I send you more detailed infos, screencopies or access to the blog via PM ?

thanks again and
kind regards

I originally wrote the post below, but after re-reading your post I believe you have a really old version of the plugin, which uses the event output plugin. Can you check that you have both a "Link List" sidebar and event plugin installed, and what version of both they are?

Otherwise, carry on with this info:

The sidebar plugin contains all of the configuration options for the plugin.

You should look for the option named "Enter XML directly"

If this is set to yes you will have a textbox immediately below it where you can enter an xml formatted list of links (examples should be under it).

If this is set to no there will be a link in the left hand column, under "Entries", titled "Manage Links".

If you are lost, please post some screen shots of your setup, and I can highlight exactly what I am talking about.

    function introspect(&$propbag)
    {
        global $serendipity;

        $propbag->add('name',          PLUGIN_LINKS_NAME);
        $propbag->add('description',   PLUGIN_LINKS_BLAHBLAH);
        $propbag->add('stackable',     true);
        $propbag->add('author',        'Matthew Groeninger, Omid Mottaghi Rad');
        $propbag->add('version',       '1.2');
        $propbag->add('stackable',     false);
        $propbag->add('configuration', array(
                                             'title',
                                             'top_level',

                                             'useLines',
                                             'useIcons',
                                             'useStatusText',
                                             'closeSameLevel',

                                             'imgdir'));

        $propbag->add('requirements',  array(
            'serendipity' => '0.8',
            'smarty'      => '2.6.7',

Problem solved - i am an idiot
I did not create a 'serendipity_plugin_linklist' folder - just the 'serendipity_event_linklist' and put all files in there.

Now I duped that folder renamed it ..._plugin_... et voilà a new linklist sidebar plugin appears ready for install wich i installed.
Now I can enter links in the admin menue and have a new output in the blog pages. I then removed the eevent output plugin which was set to output the linklist.

Thanks again for your support!

I am glad that fixed it, but I want to clarify that you should be able to install serendipity_plugin_linklist (the sidebar plugin) without having to create another folder... Serendipity has recognized both types of plugins in the same folder beginning with .8 (if I remember correctly)...

Glad it is working for you!!!
