Question - In the Limit Number of Records per User mod (Easy Way), if I want to change change the error message from "duplicate key error" to "Click your back button, then click [Modify] to update your existing report." I found 3 instances of "duplicate key error" in the script but am unsure what needs to be changed.

Thanks,
Will

The only thing is that the duplicate key error would not come up when a record was being modified, only when it is being added.

That's perfect. Some of the guides that contribute fishing reports can't read too well. Instead of updating their current report, they add a new report each time and that causes problems.

Another quick question. This is an existing database and $db_key = 'ID';. Will anything be harmed if I change it to $db_key = 'Userid';?

Thanks for your help.

I made the changes to db.cgi and my reports.cfg. It broke displaying the image from the file upload mod.

I don't see how the two could be related. Displaying the image is in sub html_record. The change is in sub add_record.

I don't see how either. I can guess though. I think it must be related to changing $db_key in the .cfg. After I made the change, I tested it and it did not keep me from adding a second fishing report using one of the old UserIDs. The same old dummies would be mucking up my database.

You changed the $db_key field? From what to what?

(I gotta tell you that your graphic is very distracting. I'm about to turn off graphics just because of yours.)

Carol, what graphic?

Go to the top of the page and click "Edit Profile." Click "Basic Profile." Go to the bottom of the page. There is a field labeled --

Your Picture (Entire URL - Picture size is 65x75 pixels)

In that field will be the following

That's the graphic I'm talking about. It is very distracting. However, I have just changed my settings so I won't see it any more.

If you have changed the key field of your database, the uploaded files will no longer be associated with their records, since they were keyed to the key field.

Thanks for reminding me of the graphic. I had the display option turned off and didn't realize how bad it really was. I have dumped the graphic.

I guess the answer to my above question,
should have been yes.

Obviously I had missed the question when you asked it before.

The answer would be "No," unless you already have records in the database. If you already have records in the database, the answer is "Possibly."

Yeah, I had to retreat from that one.

Thanks just the same.
