Hello,

In Browser.pm on line 665 you will see the following code snippet:

# finally check that category_to ain't a category_from descendant
my $from_full_name = $info_from->{Full_Name};
my $to_full_name = $info_to->{Full_Name};
if ($to_full_name =~ m,^\Q$from_full_name\E/,) {
return $self->javascript_error ( message => Links::language ('BROWSER_MOVECHILD'), tree_go => -1, info_go => -1 );
}

this disabled that you can move a category to a child of itself.

But i can do this without error message in the normal admin.

my question is:
Is this a known issue, or is there a code snippet for it to copy in a module (I think Links::category.pm) ??

I've tested this on my local computer & you've right.

When you build, it will repair the normal structure, but the links in the damaged category are gone, until you modify the category again & place it in a normal order.

Hello

Yes it will repair the structure as good as it can, but this it not normal.

is their anybody who have a piece of code to paste in Links::Category.pm which report an error message if you modify a category in a child of itself?

Hello

I found a piece of code in the header of Links::Category.pm that should give a warn, but this code is never used

the code is:

'CORRUPTCAT' => "Loop detected! Category ID %s is a subcategory of itself!",


I think this is a part of former links-SQL distributions.
Does anybody have pieces of code that uses CORRUPTCAT, and why it's removed in the current versions??
