Link validation
Hello.

I'm looking for a way to validate links faster in admin.
Is it possible to show new links in a list for a faster validation?

Example:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Example Link1 Edit [ ] Validate [ ] Delete [ ] Do nothing [X]
Example Link2 Edit [ ] Validate [ ] Delete [ ] Do nothing [X]
Example Link3 Edit [ ] Validate [ ] Delete [ ] Do nothing [X]
Example Link4 Edit [ ] Validate [ ] Delete [ ] Do nothing [X]
Example Link5 Edit [ ] Validate [ ] Delete [ ] Do nothing [X]
Example Link5 Edit [ ] Validate [ ] Delete [ ] Do nothing [X]

Hi,

Been a while since I looked/used this plugin myself, so not sure if it does what you want - but give this a go:

hi Andy.

I'm using your plugin.
It works fine but I can't edit and validate links.
I find there only the option to delete. Frown

Hi,

Mmm.. I see what you mean. Not sure why I called it "QuickValidate", as it only gives the option to "delete" Whistle

Afraid I'm really really busy at the moment. Maybe I'll try and make a commercial plugin at some point to offer a quicker validation system - but I'm all out of time at the moment - sorry Frown

Cheers

Hi Andy,

This plugin would be very useful also with the possibility of contacting the owner :

Example Link1 Edit [ ] Validate [ ] Delete [ ] Do nothing [X] Contact [ ]
Example Link2 Edit [ ] Validate [ ] Delete [ ] Do nothing [X] Contact [ ]
...

Thanks,

Mick

Hi,

Everything appart from the "Edit" would work (although, it could have a link next to it - saying "edit")

Cheers

NP - hopefully other people find this new version useful too :) (I've also asked GT to add it to the Plugin Download area)

Hi Andy,

Just a suggestion for a forthcoming update.

It would be possible to have several pages (10 links by pages) ?
Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 ... [>] [>>]

Thanks,

Mick

Hi,

I'll see what I can do (if/when I get a bit of free time ;))

Only reason I had some free time today, was cos I was waiting for some replies from people, before I could carry on with their projects =)

Hi Andy,

I have a small problem and which resembles a bug.

If the link is validated or deleted
, the value of Number_of_Links or Direct_Links, in the Category table (Category Browser), is not updated.

It is then necessary to use the function "Repair Tables" to update the column.

You think that it is possible to correct this problem ?

Thanks for your assistance.

Mick

Hi,

Mmm.. it should work fine. I'll see what I can do though (doing delete() normally updates the categoryID too)

Oops ! Yes you are right, the problem is only with the validation of the link.

Excuse my error.

Hi,

Ok, in /admin/Plugins/QuickValidate.pm, find:

Code:
$DB->table('Links')->update( { isValidated => "Yes" } , { ID => $link_id } ) || die $GT::SQL::error;

..and add this below it;

Code:
# now update category counts...
my $sth = $DB->table('CatLinks')->select( ['CategoryID'], { LinkID => $link_id } );
while (my $cat_id = $sth->fetchrow) {
$DB->table('Category')->update( { Number_of_Links => \"Number_of_Links + 1" } , { ID => $cat_id } ) || die $GT::SQL::error;
}

That should fix it for now :)
