What e107 version are you using?

Latest Github version (just updated)

Bug description

The plugin links_page version 2.2 doesn't work on php 8.3.3

When you open the page of links_page plugin, it throws the followin exception:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Undefined constant "ADMIN_UP_DOWN" in x/public_html/e107_plugins/links_page/link_defines.php:27
Stack trace: #0 x/public_html/e107_plugins/links_page/links.php(33): require_once()
 #1 x/public_html/index.php(69):
include_once('/...')
 #2 {main} thrown in x/public_html/e107_plugins/links_page/link_defines.php on line
27

And if you have the plugin active, and do a search over the links_page plugin, it throws this other exception:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Undefined constant "DESC" in x/public_html/e107_plugins/links_page/e_search.php:43 
Stacktrace: #0 x/public_html/search.php(546): links_page_search->config()
 #1 x/public_html/search.php(647):
search_front->search_info('links_page', 'plug', './e107_plugins/...') 
#2 x/public_html/search.php(69): search_front->searchConfig()
#3 x/public_html/search.php(1043): search_front->__construct()
 #4 x/public_html/index.php(107):
include('/...')
 #5 {main} thrown in x/public_html/e107_plugins/links_page/e_search.php on line 43

With php 7.4.33 works fine.

How to reproduce

1. get working your e107 page using php 8.3.3
2. check if you have installed the links_page plugin. It says that is developed from e107 and aparently its latest version is 2.2
3. configure its page on your navigation menu to access it
4. go to it, and check how the site fails to load when you access to the links_page page

Expected behavior

That the content of the page of the plugin loads without problems. Like that It can do on php7

What browser(s) are you seeing the problem on?

Firefox, Chrome / Brave, Microsoft Edge

PHP Version

php8.3.3

Hi, the plugin is no longer part of core (since e107 v2) and is not supported by the core developers anymore.

Oki @Moc Thanks for the advice :-)

I'll try to fix it, but if I need ask something to someone, where I can do that?

E107 have a discussion site or discord for ask for help without compromising or just small questions about coding e107 plugins?

thanks for all :-)
