I have MyLinks_SQL installed the way it says but it just won't show up in the links. Has anyone had this problem?

Correction....if I have it set up for User-only, it doesn't show up.

Hi,


>>but it just won't show up in the links<<

>>if I have it set up for User-only, it doesn't show up<<

Could you explain a little...I'm not sure what you mean.

Okay, I originally had the MyLinks_SQL set up so only users could use it but then it would never show up on the page at all. When I changed it so anyone could use it, it showed up but I want only Users to be able to use it so I'm kinda stuck.

You can only do that in DYNAMIC mode (or with dynamic headers).

If a user is logged in, they will see the various menu options available to Users (just like editors). Taking the hint from the include-menu.html file:



You wrap the options in the <%if Username%> tag. If a user is logged on, Username will be non-null.

Ah yes now I understand. Pugdog is right, you need to wrap the mylinks link with <%if Usernam%> but you can only do with with dynamic pages as static are just that, and so the tags aren't parsed per request.

I am using the site dynamically. I've even signed in and it still doesn't show up.

Could you put <%Username%> in a template and see what it prints.

I put it on home.html and I get

Unknown Tag: 'Username'

Are you using the auth system?

errrr....I don't know. What is it?

Forcing people to login?

If you mean checking pretty much everything under User Options to yes, then yes, they must log on.

Problem solved.

The instructions say to put:

<%if USER%>
<a href="http://www.fanficweb.net/cgi-bin/fanficdir/fave.cgi?do=add&id=<%ID%>">Save It</a>
<%endif%>

But appearently what you need is

<%if Username%>
<a href="http://www.fanficweb.net/cgi-bin/fanficdir/fave.cgi?do=add&id=<%ID%>">Save It</a>
<%endif%>

But a different proble...the Delete All doesn't seem to be working. I hit Delete All and then yes but nothing happens.
