My changes to get WF-Links 1.06 to validate for CSS level 2 and XHTML 1.0 Transitional are shown below -- under XOOPS 2.3.2 and PHP5.

WF-Links 1.06 Module

wflinks_index.html (template)

OLD


 



NEW - simple change removed 13 errors!


 



As to an error regarding a "link rel=" for a style sheet being outside the head section, the line in question containing that is included via a reference (somewhere) to the wflinks_tag_block_cloud.html file which contains the single line:

<{include file="db:tag_block_cloud.html"}>

and tag_block_cloud.html is a Tag module blocks template, which contains the "link rel=" code in question. Wflinks checks whether the Tag module is activated; so, the block of code in question may or may not be present in the generated html page.

One solution might be to include the "link rel=" separately and earlier -- placed in the head section. But that would couple the code of the two modules -- require modifying the Tag module (to separate the "link rel=" statement from the following div code) and the wf-links module (to use a separate call in the head section). The easy way to eliminate this vaidation error was to deactivate the XOOPS Tag module.

Another problem was in the (English vs. French) admin.php and main.php and modinfo.php files for string values for PageRank and Google PageRank containing invalid byte values for the trademark symbol rather than "& t r a d e ;" string.

wflinks_viewcat.html (template) - ten &'s and "absmiddle" to replace with "& a m p ;" and "middle" -- for example:

OLD





Fixing those lines left 6 validation errors, all were: value of attribute "align" cannot be "absmiddle"; must be one of "top", "middle", "bottom", "left", "right".

Thank you for sharing this!

Some absmiddle are present in:
/admin/admin_header.php
/include/functions.php
/templates/wflinks_singlelink.html
/templates/wflinks_linkload.html
/templates/wflinks_linkloadsimple.html

BTW: I see in your post some templatenames spelled with a dot in between. Should it not be an underline?

Thanks, ghia. I corrected the template file names in question.

(I am currently working on validation for SmartFAQ 1.0.8, by the way.)

1. templates/wflinks_singlelink.html

Five absmiddle's were replaced with middle.

Lines 1 - 14 inline style (css) block not allowed in body (versus head section) of page. Hmm ... how to relocate or ... Generated code contains the style lines after a "" comment.

The 'socbookmark' style only is used in line 88 which only generates HTML code if $link.showsbookmarx > 0 -- that is, if Show Social Bookmarks is set to 'Yes' in the module's config options. Since I had this option set to 'No' the simple solution for validation was to remove the 14 lines in question.

2. templates/wflinks_linkload.html

Four absmiddle's were replaced with middle.

3, singlelink.php

Line 208 was missing alt attribute.

4. topten.php

For the Popular and Top Rated pages, line 61 was missing alt attribute.

5. include/linkloadinfo.php

Line 145 had simple ampersand for mail body parameter.
