Updating the ClickBank Links in your LTE Traffic Exchange Script

The Ventrino LTE Manual Exchange comes with a number of high gravity ClickBank links. These were added so that there is something to see with some viariety to get you started. I expted people would delete them and a few of their own prior to launch. However I was asked if they could be updated to use the owners hop link, which they can. Here’s how it’s done:

Run the following code in your SQL viewer or phpmyadmin, whatever you prefer, but replace your-clickbank-id-here with your ClickBank ID.

UPDATE links
SET link = 
REPLACE(
  link,
  'ratemyop',
  'your-clickbank-id-here'
)

Don’t change anything else, make sure you do not disturb the ‘ otherwise it won’t work.

The code will replace all of the “ratemyop” entriies with your ID instead.

I recently experienced a problem with a complex MySQL query which reported “MySQL server has gone away” and then just stopped.

There are plenty of posts with suggestions to help you fix this rare but annoying message and it’s likely they will help you more than this post. However I found a solution, and one that I could replicate so that for my particular issue have conclusive evidence of the cause. An unusual luxury.

Remove flush()

It is as simple as that. If you find flush() is called at any time while processing a page that suffers this error, rem it out and try again. More information on flush() can be found here: http://uk3.php.net/flush
