Links SQL - need a small mod
I need a small modification to Links, to let me keep listings in the database as inactive (i.e. validated, but not showing up on the page). It should be fairly simple, and back in the days I knew how to do that myself, but lost touch with it, so I think it might be safer to hire someone for the job.

I am looking for someone who is experienced and has done coding work on this script for others, an active poster with a good record of work (I will need references - preferable recommendations from the official team here). Yes, it's a small project, with a small budget, but I need to be 100% sure of how I give access to my site :)

Please PM me for more details. Thanks!

Hi,

Its a bit of a hard one to do :/

Really - the best way to approach it - is to "move" the link into another table... so its totally out of the Links table.

The reason I'm saying this, is because even if you stop it showing int he validation queue, you're still gonna have the link being "counted" on the actual category counts - which would throw the users off (i.e if you have 2 hidden, and 6 in a category - it would show 8 on the category count, but only 6 would show up).

Cheers
