I've updated, but am having a problem viewing the dialog window... see below.

Hi,
What does the console say ? I suppose it cannot find the html file to load it in the dialog.
Please copy-paste-post the error message in the console.
Try with the RBS file below, extract it and move it to the 'Links Manager' folder. Tell me if it works so I can release the patch.
Regards,

Hi Didier,
Thanks for getting back to me.
I tried the updated .rbs file you sent, and got this:
Windows Internet Explorer error message: Cannot find 'file:///Links%20Manager/linkTools.html'.
The syntax is exactly as shown, including the triple backslash. When I close the error window, the Links Dialog Window opens, but it is completely blank now.
If I download and install the french version it works perfectly. I also tried using fr_sulinks.rb, with fr_linkTools.rbs in the Links Manager folder, but I left in the english version of linkTools.html. This also worked perfectly, with the exception that the Links Dialog Window was titled Liens instead of Links.
Since I am no code guy, I am of little help in determining the problem. I am unsure how to get the Ruby Console to report the error you requested that I copy and paste, but would be glad to comply with some instruction on how this is accomplished.
Thanks again.

I need to be a little clearer on one item...when I loaded the french version and everything worked great, I replaced the fr_linkTools.html file with the linkTools.html file from the english version, and simply renamed it from linkTools.html to fr_linkTools.html. As I mentioned before, this got me everything in English except the title of the dialog window, which remained 'Liens'.
Sorry if my previous explanation on using the linkTools.html was a bit confusing, or misleading.
-
I think I see where the issue is.
Please wait for a correct patch... -
Hello Didier,
Another user and I are experiencing the same problem with Links Manager as fountainhead describes.
Here’s the topic in the SU Help forum:
https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!category-topic/sketchup/sketchup-pro/tvCz8dHb5OYI click on the Links Manager toolbar to launch the script.
Then, click on a Component to set URL.
IE8 then displays the message pictured below.
I tried this with SU’s Ruby Console open. The console remained blank.The previous version "Links" works fine.

Hi,
Here is another version for Links Manager (english version) that should work. The scrambler does not his job properly IMHO...
Put this file in your Plugins/Links Manager folder, and delete the previous linkTools.rbs

Thank you Didier
Success !

Hmmm.
SU Pro V8.0.15158 - ASUS - Windows 7 - Core i7 - NVIDIA Geforce GTX - Chrome
I have spent the afternoon trying to get this to work in all the various forms (english and french). I get this over and over:
Message from 000_AdditionalPluginFolders
1 ERROR(S): The following plugins had errors and may not be fully loaded:

TIG helped me with a corrupt SU8 install (my doing) and 'links' now works as advertised.
I think it will really help out with my project.
Thanks to all.

Follow-up:
With this ruby, I can attach a url to an object so that it is displayed (see attached image), but the viewer can't do anything with it (me, in this test).
I am wanting the object to display a link to another file (which this does, but you can only copy it from the dialog box and then cut and paste in a browser).
I am looking for the link tp be displayed and clickable active in the SU file...possible?
What am I missing (aside from a brain!)?

When you activate the tool; note the message in the Status Bar at the bottom-left of the screen.
Ctrl-Click to Open Links-Geo

OMG!
THX!

An opportunity:
Multiple links to same object.
What I am trying to do: link several different types of information to the same object, like spec sheet, color selections, delivery schedules, maps, etc...
I would like them to display in the pop-up that the current 'links' ruby provides and then give the user the choice of which to select.ArcView (GIS) and AutoCad have such functionality with their 'link' option, but I do not seem to be able to do the same with SU at this time.
Any idea on what I can do?

It would be fairly straightforward to do this as a plugin, you just need to find someone who needs a plugin to write. Maybe we should develop a plugin request list for authors looking for some fun challenges
-
as someone in the field of education, this pluggin is very useful especially when you are using your sketchup model as educational tool. I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee it.. thank you ...
-
i have the same message as the others, the icon that you are saying on the tutorial doesnot appear eventhough i put the patches.
-
Chris:
Creating a 'plug-in request site' would be an excellent addition.
Let's start with the 'multiple links to a single object' display!
-
until now, i cant make it work. in the end i relied on the old version...
