Hi
is there a way to mark a top or sub category to be hidden so visitors can not access it through the regular interface?
Kind of like the adult in DMOS..

This was discussed awhile back during the BETA development of LINKS SQL 2.0.

Basically, what you need to do is the following:

1) Add a column called Hidden (ENUM - 'Yes','No', DEFAULT = No) n the Category table.

2) Then hack the nph-build.cgi by adding a conditional statement that checks the value of the Hidden column.

Buh Bye!

Is a sample available how to hack the script that I can hide a category using dynamic pages?

Hello all,

Can somebody tell me how to hack the nph-build.cgi the way Eliot say above ?


Please help ..

You don't need to add any columns nor hack nph-build.cgi

In subcategory.html try surrounding the code with:

<%unless Short_Name eq 'Adult'%>

...code...

<%endunless%>

Change Adult to the category name you want to hide. If you want to hide large numbers of categories then you may then need to add a column but it still doesn't require changes to nph-build.cgi.

Thank you so much paul, i will try it later .... thanks again ..
