Greetings, if a link is submitted to the wrong category, then how can the editor move that link to the correct category if they don't edit in the correct category.

For instance, say I'm the editor of the category apples, but someone submits a link to me that is for oranges. I'm not an editor for oranges, but John Doe is. How could I move that link over to John's category when it wouldn't appear as an option in my browse interface?

Dmoz has a drop down list where you can move a site into another categories queue, is there anything remotly similar that can be done with links sql?

In order to move and/or copy links into another category, you MUST be the editor of both categories.

Thanks, I guess I can add this as the first item to my wish list for future upgrades. I have 465 categories, so I don't think it wise to make ever editor an editor for every other category.

Does anyone know if it is possible to create a category that only editors can see. If so, I was thinking that I could create one single category of "misfits" that all editors could write to. That location could be a clearing house for editors to go into to find sites that should be in their categories and then they could move them to their own. Does that make sense at all?

One possibility what has been suggested before somewhere is to make 'hidden categories'.

This can be done by adding an extra column to your category table (see links manual on how to add a column).

I would add:

isHidden enum [Yes,No]

then in your category template add a tag before and after the part which display the category:

<%if isHidden eq 'No'%>

blah blah show category

<%endif%>

Alternatively, you could add a column to cateogry isEditor and do the same thing, only showing a category if they are an editor.

Has anyone tried what Ian suggested. Does it work?
