Version: 2.1.2 - Email: Selected Link Owners still doesn't work
I have upgraded to Version: 2.1.2 and Email: Selected Link Owners doesn't work.

Also Load and Save email templates.

Can someone at GT give us a quick fix?

When you say doesn't work, what happens?

Example:

I am trying to send emails to all New Validated links ...

When I go to Email: Selected Link Owners

and select

isNew = Yes
isValidated = Yes

... but Search button at the bottom of the page doesn't work (nothing happens, no search is performed)



Email: Selected Users works fine.

Is the form surrounding the button properly?

Wooow, Paul thank you!

The form surrounds the button properly.

The problem is that I have over 100 custom fields/columns.

When I edit/reduce the number of fields to search everything works fine.

(By reducing I mean to edit HTML on my computer to delete a LOT of fields)

I think (Blush) that the problem is too many stuff like this:

admin.cgi?ID=&ID-opt=%3D&Title=&Title-opt=LIKE&URL=&URL-opt=LIKE&LinkOwner=&LinkOwner-opt=LIKE&Add_Date=&Add_Date-opt=%3D&Mod_Date=&Mod_Date-opt=%3D&Description=&Contact_Name=&Contact_Name-opt=LIKE&Contact_Email=&Contact_Email-opt=LIKE&isNew=&isChanged=Yes&isPopular=&isValidated=&Rating=&Rating-opt=LIKE&Votes=&Votes-opt=LIKE&Status=&Status-opt=LIKE&Timestmp=&Timestmp-opt=%3D&Hits=&Date_Checked=&CatLinks.CategoryID=&mh=-1&ETC.&ETC.&ETC.&ETC.&ETC.&ETC.&ETC.





Can someone (with lots of custom fields) confirm this problem?



P.S.

Thanks Paul, now I can pick more options for emailing, even if it's by hand and complicated.

This is what I found on the internet:

Quote:
When using the post method, there is no theoretical limit to the amount of data that can be sent to the HTTP server. The amount of data may be constrained by the physical limits of the client computer.

When using the get method to send data to an HTTP server, the amount of data that can be sent is limited by the maximum length of a URL. In this case the URL cannot be longer than 2048 bytes.

Hi,

I've just a few custom-fields (20-25) but I have the same error. Also in 2.1.2 eMail-templates are still not working!

I've addressed this problem to jack (GT-staff) a while ago but didn't get any solution yet!

Regards,
Manu

Thank you guys ... Smile

I suppose this is the problem:

GT, is there a fix for this?

Yes, because LSQL uses GET in many cases, and as Paul quoted, GET has 2048 byte length limit...
Possibly GT did not plan to work with so long URL, and so much custom fields...

Solutions:
1) You may change the field names to something that is 1 or 2 char long, so this way you can save a lot space in URL...
2) GT may change it to use POST
3) ??? don't know Validate Links so much, so may be possible other solution, too.

The easiest solution is to change the request method in the 'email_selected_links.html' template (which is stored in admin/templates/admin).

I'm not sure the solution would be so easy. I did not check the code, that's just warning...
