Building to wrong category
I'm stumped. I moved some sub-categories around and now Links is building the pages to categories with a space added at the end for some but not all of the categories I changed.

For instance... I have a main category called Premiership. I moved a few sub-categories out and moved a few new ones in (it's a football site.. it was to reflect the end of season promotions and relegations)

Links is building the index.html page into Premiership (correct) but is then building all the sub-categories into Premiership_ which of course messes up the whole structure. Premiership_ doesn't exist as a category when searched for.

This has not happened to all the main categories I changed, just some. I can't spot any differences.

I'm using Links SQL 2.0.4

Any help appreciated Thanks

Run repair on the database, see if that helps.

I've run 'Repair Tables' if that's what you mean, with no effect. I have always had to run that anyway before each build to update the 'New' images.

Also tried Resync database but which usually cures a problem but not this time. It's the first time I've had any trouble for a year so I'm a bit lost now Frown

Hi,

I've seen this before on some imports. Here are some SQL queries you can run to manually fix things:

UPDATE Category SET Name = TRIM(Name), Full_Name = TRIM(Full_Name)

and then do a repair tables. If that doesn't work, try:

UPDATE Category SET Full_Name = REPLACE(Full_Name, " /", "/")

and see if that fixes it.

As always, be sure to backup your database, before making any changes through the sql monitor.

Cheers,

Alex
