In 2.12 a user still cant change a link while this link isn´t validated.
That makes no sense for me.
Cause we haven´t any validate_table, it should no problem to change the link again.

You could write a plugin for this.

Unfortunately not, but i have changed the code as i need it ;-)
Im still hacking my links without that plugin stuff, sorry.
Im too less a programmer.

If you are editing the Links files I recommend that you keep a file which lists all the mods you are making to the core code so that you can easily redo the changes when you upgrade the software.

God idea, i do that since three years ;-)
And with beyond compare it´s possible to upgrade in an hour or two.

That's ok then.

In case anyone is wondering, it's most likely changing one line in User::Modify.pm where the select uses:

isValidated=Yes,

just remove that, and it will list all links.

In Links 2.0, and 2.1 that was all that was needed. It's one of the first changes I made to allow a user to modify their attachments and logos.

I never did see any harm in allowing a user to modify, alter or otherwise muck with unvalidated links, since they were the only ones who could see them. It often prevented multiple duplicate submissions....

I always found it much more problematic, and dangerous to allow them to make changes that overwrote the original data in any way before being revalidated/verified -- especially if it was made live without admin check. Never trust passed-in data extends nicely to never trust users <G> It's they who pass in untrustworthy data.

You can provide options to allow users to "see" links pending validation, and to edit/check them on a page separate from the validated links. You might want to allow different edits to pending links -- such as data you do not allow to be changed in validated/verified links.
