Hi

First sorry to start a new post.. but it is about time..

Two things paul:

1- the custom links are nt showing up on the main users page.. (their is a confusion since the custom links and the data links are both saved links but they are stored in two tables... I think

2- How do a user delete the custom links? deleting all is not deleting the custom links

Yeah they aren't meant to. I kept them seperate. There is a link at the top to view the custom links - "View Custom".

Whoops, I forgot to add a delete function...will add it.

Hi,

I've updated the plugin so users can delete custom links.

Thank you..

In the mylinks_custom_view.html template you may wish to add a link back to the main favorites list as I think it is missing.

<a href="<%db_cgi_url%>/mylinks.cgi">Favorites List</a>

....there is already one in mylinks_main.html linking to the custom list but I forgot the link back.

Thanks for the tip..

Is there a Global or a way to insert the custom links for the users in the public page?

I think that will make the display of those links optional for the admin..

Also..

Have you find out the way to allow users to delete custom links?

Currently not. You could do it wil a global if you wanted. Something like:


That isn't tested but beware that it will select all records for the user and not do any spanning.

Hi paul

This global will return a list of all users custom links, or i will have to create a global for each user..

Is there an easier way to create one global that will work for all users (auto pick their username and custom links)?

It uses $USER->{Username} so will select the links for the logged in user.

Hi

when i tried it it returns a list of all users custom links.

Oh you want them to show to the public...hmm you can't use a global for that.

It would mean editing the plugin. You'd need to make a copy of the custom_view routine in MyLinks_DB.pm, then at the top of it add:

my $user = $IN->param('user');

...and replace all occurances of :

$USER->{Username} ...with...$user

Then you can do mylinks.cgi?do=your_new_routine&user=<%UserID%>

Hi paul

I already have this done..

the problem is I want that list to be available in the users_favorites public page..

The instruction you gave works great to display the custom links in a separate page..

You'd need to put the select query from that routine:


.... into the user_favorites routine and then send the output to the template by adding a new tag..

{ custom_fave => $some_output }

....but remember if they choose to span 5 per page, they'll get favorites x 5 plus 5 x custom links too.

Hi Paul

For some reason..

Some of my users are getting errors when trying to save links..

Oops, we had the following problem:

You have reached you saved link maximum!

They have no favorites on file and I could not find a limit configuration for the users.

Next to the installed plugin click "Edit" ....there are several options there.

Hey Paul

Sory but there are no options there at all..

what I see is

Plugin Details Plugin: MyLinks_DB Version: 1.0.0 Author: Paul Wilson License: Commercial Description: This plugin allows your visitors to save their favorite links. As it uses your database to save the links there are no access restrictions as with cookies.




Any ideas?
