Deleting columns from links table
Hi There, quick question I hope. I need to delete some custom columns I added to the links table using the standard editor but when I try I get this error:

----------------
A fatal error has occured:

GT::SQL::Editor (24586): Privileges on directory /home/scuba2/public_html/Detailed/UserImages do not allow write or directory does not exist at GT::SQL::Table::check_schema line 1622.

Please enable debugging in setup for more details.
----------------

I don't have any links in this table and I deleted all the static directories that get created so I am not worried about loosing any info.

Can I use the MySQLMan to drop these custom columns or is there something else I need to do??

Many Thanks
Jan

Hi,

This means you have an image column defined, but the directory that is set to store the images does not exist, or is not writeable. If you fix up this path first, then you should be able to drop a column.

Cheers,

Alex
