Problem adding new links/categories and building
Hi folks,

I've been using Links 2.0 for a while and never had any problems with it, but I recently setup a new server

and had to reinstall the program and transfer over my old data files. Although everything looks and works as it should, there's a problem with building new links and categories which I'm unable to resolve and I hoped someone else might be able to help with?

Whilst I can add new links and categories, and the links do show up on the validate list, once I validate them and do a build, the same links still show up as pending in the validate listing. If I try and validate the links again, I get an error message saying the links cannot be found (as really they've already been added). Also when I add a new category, it doesn't show up in my category listing if I try and add a new link.

Now here's the strange thing... After doing several builds usually over a period of a day or so, the links are eventually updated and removed from the validate list and also the new categories appear in the listing!

Any help would be greatly appreciated :-)

Have a good christmas everyone!

Hi. It sounds like a browser caching problem to me. Try, after doing the validations, having a look at the 'validate.db' file in the admin/data folder. If it is empty, then that is why you are getting those errors. I have never worked out a decent way to get around browser caching, except for deleting all my history and temp files!

Well, hope that helps a bit (and maybe solves your problem Tongue)

Oh, and have a good xmas yourself Wink

how about adding the no-cache pragma to the output?

I'm not sure. I tried that once (doubt i had the right format though...lol Wink) and it made no real difference. I suppose it could be worth looking into, but there has to be an easier way with the browsers settings or something! Tongue

It has nothing to do with your browser....the Internet Settings program is in your Windows control panel.

The Temporary Internet Files bit isn't a menu option or tab, it is just on the main screen on the Internet Options window.
