Modifing Resource
When visitors want to modify their link, I would like to have them access it by the ID number instead of the URL. (some of the resources do not have a URL, some do) I will print the ID number under the description along with the "modify link" info. How do I set the call to search for the ID number instead of the URL?

this was something that i always wanted to do for links2.0 but never appeared to be able to, it would be very useful here.

If users are registered, when they go into the modify, they are presented with a list of their links. If you want that to be listed by ID, just edit the template, to make the visible part <%ID%> instead of URL or TITLE. In order to modify the link, the LinkID is used as the key. Just pass that to the modify script.

A bit of testing to make it work the way you want may be necessary.

You can simply use:

Code:

<%db_cgi_url%>/modify.cgi?ID=<%ID%>


in the email-add.txt file.

PUGDOG,
Do you think you could help me with this? I can't seem to get it right. I am able to set it to use the ID, but then it gets listed without being held for verification first. With your knowledge, I hope you might have the time to walk me through this. I would appriciate any insight, so I can learn how to do this.
Thanks-

Seems like I have made this harder than it should be. There is a difference in the yahoo NG templates and the default NG templates modify tags. When I use the default ones everything works fine. So far...
