Modified links not displayed as updated

After modifying a link, the "updated" sign does not show up in the main directory or categories, but show up next to the link itself only.

So I checked subvategory.html which does contain:

Code:
 <%if Has_New_Links eq 'Yes'%><font color="red"><small><sup>new</sup></small></font><%endif%> 
<%if Has_Changed_Links eq 'Yes'%><font color="red"><small><sup>updated</sup></small></font><%endif%>

I assume that Has_Changed_Links must not be equal to 'Yes' for some reason. Where else can I check? What is causing this? Crazy

Thanks,

Adrian Smile

In subcategory.html, do a <%GT::Template::dump%> What does that give you?

Hi Andy,

I'm not quite sure what you mean, but I've added <%GT::Template::dump%> into subcategory.html and got a whole bunch of links displayed with their associated variables.

Laura,

I'm using the dynamic option, so I don't think that by modifying build.pm would change much. I've tried it anyways, but don't see a change though.

Thanks both of you for helping. I would be happy to hear any other suggestions though Smile

Sincerely,

Adrian

Hi Andy,

Checkout the link:

http://64.69.64.197/...n/links/page.cgi?d=1

You will be able to see the variables. I'll need to take that out soon though. Let me know once you've seen it.

Thanks,

Adrian

Re: [waffle] Modified links not displayed as updated In reply to

Ok, you can take it out now. The 'updated' tag you were using, is showing up as 'No', so its not a problem with Links SQL's template parser. What do you have set for the 'updated' variable in the admin panel? 9i.e 2 day, 2 days etc).

Andy,

This may be the problem. I don't know where in the admin panel I can set the updated variable. I see under setup, a build_new_cutoff, build_pop_cutoff, but no build_update_cutoff.

Actually, I think I got a little confused there. Not sure there is an 'updated' cutoff variable. Could you please paste the contents of subcateogry.html here?

Cheers

Here's my subcategory.html:

Code:
<%--  
    File        : subcategory.html  
    Description : This template is used when creating your list of 
                  subcategories (either on the home page, or the category 
                  page). 
    Tags        : All the properties of the category being added are available, plus: 
                    Short_Name => The last part of the category name 
                    Related    => A flag saying this is a related category 
--%> 

<table border=0 cellpadding=3 cellspacing=0><tr> 

<%-- This is only useful if you have added an Image column to your category table --%> 
<%if Image%> 
    <td width=30 align=center valign=top> 
        <img src="<%build_images_url%>/default/<%Image%>" border=0></td> 
<%else%> 
    <td width=25>&nbsp;</td> 
<%endif%>

<%body_font%><b><a class="category_links" href="<%URL%>"><%Short_Name%><%if Related%>@<%endif%></a></b> <small><i>(<%Number_of_Links%>)</i></small>

Re: [waffle] Modified links not displayed as updated In reply to

I don't think the necessary code is there for dynamic directories. I think this is a bug. There is a set_new sub in Category.pm and I think there should be a similar place that sets the changed flags.

I could be completely wrong though Tongue

Re: [waffle] Modified links not displayed as updated In reply to

Re: [Andy] Modified links not displayed as updated In reply to

Actually, they don't appear even on a static page. You can check it out here:

Static:
http://64.69.64.197/pages/

Dynamically:
http://64.69.64.197/...n/links/page.cgi?d=1

You can find an updated link under:
>Anesthestiology>Mountain>University of Colorado Program

Thanks for your help,
Adrian
