Links 3.2 add.cgi problem??
Hello,

I seem to be having a problem with Links 3.2 (the most current version).

db_gen_category_list

If this setting is set to: No, the add.cgi does not put in anything in the Category input form.

Under: Setup > Build Options
db_gen_category_list Yes (AJAX) Yes (Basic) No

Here's what I got from the Build settings:
'Whether or not Gossamer Links should generate a category list when a category needs to be selected. If 'No' is selected, the user will have to view the category they wish to add the link to before clicking on 'Add a Link'. If you choose to display the category list, then you have two choices: an AJAX category selector (recommended if you have a lot of categories), or a simple select list dropdown. Note that users must have javascript enabled and have a browser that supports XMLHttpRequest before they can use the AJAX category browser.'

So after setting this to No, when I try adding a link from within a category, i.e. ... add.cgi?ID=23;d=1

It does not convert ID=23 into anything? The add form is left empty for Category field.

I tried to see the variables available in dump mode:
When 'db_gen_category_list' => '0', there is no category_loop variable
but when it's set to AJAX, or basic, there is a category_loop variable being created. (AJAX and basic work fine to create the Category field on the form)

So my question is... is this a bug? Or am I missing something?

Can someone try to change their setting to 'No' and then try adding a link from within a category? Please let me know if you get the same results.

I'm using 3.2, so it would be great if it was tried on the same version.

Thank you.
