Using LinkID to specify a link to modify
Hi all.

I'm trying to make a link to "modify this entry" using href="<%db_cgi_url%">/modify.cgi?LinkID=<%ID%>. When I go to this page, the existing data is not filled into the form fields and when I submit the form I get the error message "Did not specify a link to modify." If I want this to work, do I have to hack the modify.cgi file to get rid of a requirement for the URL (and if so, can someone tell me what to do specifically)?

The site I'm building has content that is not link-based (not all entries will have the URL field), and we want all users to be able to suggest modifications to any entry (to go into the queue for validation by the admin). We're not too concerned about abuse, because the site will have a very small audience. This is a recent install of LSQL, with "user_required" and "user_direct_mod" both set to "No".

I've been searching through past posts but couldn't find a definitive answer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
