Dear all,

In Add Link, my users must choose a category. But since I have over 200 categories, I don't want this field to be compulsory.

I want to leave out the Category-field in the Add Link. If I remove Category from links.def I get all kinds of errors. If I just remove the HTML-fields for Category, it still wants to have a choice.

Any suggestions?

Try removing it, and then adding a hidden value for it, which just goes to a default category. Then, when you goto validate it, you can choose the appropriate category for it.

Cheers

How elegant! Thanks.

Why not just set $db_single_category to 1 in links.cfg? That way the current category is automatically used.

If you remove the link to add.cgi from the main menu on your "home" page, users won't be able to add links from outside of a category.
