Edit links directly from Detailed pages.
Here's a good tip which will allow you to edit your listings directly from the detailed pages, rather than having to search for them in the browser.
That's it. Now when you are logged in and you view a detailed page you will be able to click on [Edit This Link] and it will open the database details for that link.
- First create a global to display category numbers in Detailed pages (thank to Andy for this from another thread):
Tag:Code:get_cat_id
Global:Code:sub {
return $DB->table('CatLinks')->select ( ['CategoryID'], { LinkID => $_[0] } )->fetchrow;
} - Next add the following anywhere you like in Build > User Templates > detailed.html:
Code:<a href="<%config.db_cgi_url%>/browser.cgi?action=link_modify_form&category_id=<%get_cat_id($ID)%>&link_id=<%ID%>" target="_blank">[Edit This Link]</a> - Now go to Database and in the Editor box select Users / Modify and click Go.
- Put your username in the in the Username field and click Search.
- In the results box change your status from Registered to Administrator.
- Now go to Browse and expand Home. Click on the first category listed. When you list appears click Editors in the top box.
- Add yourself as an editor here and click Add Editor.
That's it. Now when you are logged in and you view a detailed page you will be able to click on [Edit This Link] and it will open the database details for that link.
