I just installed the version 1.13 in my test directory, and will make it live in the next few hours at http://www.creepycards.com
You can also try it out on the FAQ site (link below) and maybe even contribute a valid (helpful) thread here <G>.
I've created a set of instructions to install the editor/password mod I made, and now have followed them twice, catching most problems.
It's _probably_ stable enough if someone wants to try it.
Check back for the list of things it does, but basically:
1) It makes the Editor & User logons work.
2) It can tell the difference between Users and Editors & Cheif_Editors.
3) It forces the User to logon before add or modify options are active
4) It presents an Editor with the links they can modify in pick-list form
5) It presents a User with a list of their links in pick-list form
6) It allows for a Chief Editor that can edit all 'pending' links, but not 'validate' them.
7) Removes 'validate' powers from any Editor, and allows it only for the Admin.
(This could probably be hacked into an option).
8) A few other odds and ends.
9) It reworks and reverses or changes some of the logic, so you need to know what you are doing (with Links SQL in general) to use these mods in the larger 'whole' of a planned growth (and compatibility with links 1.2?)
Note: I cut out a _lot_ of 'features' and stripped the routines down to the barest I could to make them work (that doesn't mean they are efficient, and that there is no 'dead' or redundant code, but it means that stuff is _not_ used).
You need to have _some_ idea of what you are doing to use this mod, since although the templates are fairly generic, you _will_ get tag errors, and such on your site until you edit them down to your needs (or modify your own templates to work with the changes).
_but_ the scripts and stuff work, I've installed it on 3 'new' sites.
Let me know if you'd like to try it.
I would rather a few people who _really_ want to use it try it before I post the code. Don't ask for the code unless you are going to install it. It just wastes my time, and you'll have to upgrade it most likely anyway.
