Check_Empty_Cats
Greetings:

I am using the one of Andy's plugins - Check_Empty_Cats, which I find very useful. I think the problem is that it uses the old page.php and the call to display or go to the Category from the listing doesn't work.

Code:
print "Title : <a href=$CFG->{'db_cgi_url'}/page.cgi?do=page&cat_id=$hit->{'ID'} target='_blank'>$hit->{'Name'}</a>
: Category ID : $hit->{'ID'} : Number of links : $hit->{'Number_of_Links'}<BR>";

I've worked out how to change to db_cgi_url (from the php) and page.cgi, but can't workout the correct call to page.cgi to go to the Category by way of the ID. Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks,

Clint.

Hi,

Wow, forgot I even wrote that one <G>

I've just made a few updates to it, and also made it look nicer - you can get the new version from here:

http://www.ultranerds.com/...heck_Empty_Cats_L26/

Should all work fine with GLinks now :)

Cheers

Geez You're Quick!

Installed - just one minor problem. Appears as though if there is '1' link in a directory it will show up in the display as having no links ....

All the best and thanks again ...

Mmm.. you got somewhere I can see this happening? What do you have set as "Number" in the plugin options?

Hi Andy:

http://affiliatesdirectory.com/...ty/cosmetics/bodyart

I have the number set to '1' in the plugin setup.

I also did a repair tables, just in case ... same result.


Regards,


Clint.

Hi,

Mmm.. odd .. Try adding this debug code in:

In /admin/Plugins/Check_Empty_Cats.pm, find:

Code:
my $min_cat_number = $opts->{'Number'};

..and add:

Code:
print $IN->header();
print "DEBUG: $min_cat_number";

Then, when you run the plugin - what does the "DEBUG .." bit show?

Cheers

Andy:

Worked it out .... thanks for the comments (still adding some finishing touches).

I went in using 'Browse' and it also showed there were 0 links in that category. I then removed the link and it then showed -1.

I then re-created that category and moved the link back in and presto - it's working okay. Ran check_empty_cats and it is working fine.

That's very strange. I created this category only yesterday using the SuggestedCategory plugin .... wonder if that has anything to do with it?


All the best,


Clint.

Hi,

Cool, glad it works =) Was starting to doubt my coding skills Tongue

Re SuggestedCategory - I don't think that would cause a problem - due to the way the categories are added.
