My b2evolution Version: Not Entered

When using my link blog if I put a http:// site in the url link field I get this error "Supplied URL is invalid. (URL not allowed)" even though it will preview fine.

I previously had a similar issue with people commenting and saying that they were getting a cannot use a character is in the URL link I corrected that through the formatting.php file. I can't see that this has any relation to this but I'm at a loss as to how to correct this.

Along a similar vein, I don't completely understand how to change the order of my links within the link blog. I researched this on the forum but I obviously am not putting in the correct search parameters because I want certain links to appear at the top even though I put them in on a later date. I am sure this is doable but I can't seem to find the instructions, can someone help me out with these two items? Thanks in advance.

I don't clearly get your first question. If you hit the [Url] button, it will give http:// by default. You can type the link afterwards, but do not repeat the http:// part. Is this along the line of your question?

To re-arrange the order of the linkblog, you edit the posts in that blog (usually, but not always h*tp://yourblog.com/index.php?blog=4 or from the backoffice). It will sort with the most recent post date/time on top. So edit the individual posts and change the date/time.

Good luck

I am sorry, I was not reffering to the link button in the boddy, I was reffering to the url link that creates the post subject as a clickable link. This is the way i list my links.

Put the title as the link name and the URL in the url box, and I have started to get the error.

Thanks for the clarification on the ordering, I knew it was something simple.

Three things you need to do:
In the linkblog, create a new post, go to 'Expert mode'
1) Set the 'Type:' dropdown box from 'Post' to 'Link'
2) Put the name (B2evolution) in the 'Title:' textbox
3) Put the URL (h*tp://www.b2evolution.net) in the 'Link to Url:' textbox
Leave the body empty

That makes a clickable link in the linkblog sidebar.

Good luck

An error occurs even though the preview looks good when I go to save. I already have the steps you outlined down pat.

Maybe these snap shots will clarify somethings. I have tried all names and URLs to no avail. Even tried to use URL addresses in other posts and no go. Started with1.9 and I just went to 1.10.2 and same thing so I am wondering config issue or plugin?
