Modify Multiple Links problem
Alex:

I was trying to modify multiple links (all 25 on one screen). Made my changes and hit submit, and all links came back with an error that no Category had been specified. I went back to check, and yes, there was a Category for every link... the second screen (that says there is an error) does NOT show the Categories...

Is that with the _current_ beta, beta 2?

That was a problem with the beta 1, but I didn't have that problem with the beta 2. Beta 2 was released Friday. I've been able to modify, edit, and verify links without getting that category error.

Yes, it was with the newest Beta. I did NOT do a clean install... I installed OVER an old installation.

Which script would handle this? I will make sure that it is updated...

I'm not sure... I've had some problems doing non-clean installs.

I've take to installing everything, except the database. Hopefully this will settle down in the next release.

Hmmmmm.... total clean install. Deleted everything, and ran install. Admin now shows "Version: 2.0.0-beta2". But the problem remains. I Just tried to modify 25 links, and still get:

"You did not specify a Category for Link..."

Yes, the installer did not update your config file, so it's still reporting the old version number. =) I've fixed that now.

As for modify multiple, can you try it on a simpler case with only two or three records? I can't replicate it.

Cheers,

Alex

Yes, I did... it would not even do it for ONE modify...

I am pretty sure I got a full, clean install going...

Want me try again?

Hi,

Very strange. Can you pull up the form again with the records waiting to be modified and do a View Source. Search for: CatLinks.CategoryID and you should see the SELECT lists. Is the Name prefixed with a number as in:

name="1-CatLinks.CategoryID"

or is it just:

name="CatLinks.CategoryID"

Cheers,

Alex

Hi Alex:

Thanks for the start. I did the search, and did NOT come up with what you wanted (sorry).

Here is what came up with a search for "CatLinks.CategoryID":

Did I install wrong? Or could it be messed up because of all my custom fields?

Whoops! Messed up. The above was from the "Pick a Link to Modify..." page, not the actual Modify page. From the correct page, the HTML reads:

In Reply To:
<textarea rows=3 cols=35 name="CatLinks.CategoryID">Famous Studios/Casper</textarea>
Which, again, I still think is not right.

This was the result of picking ONE link (not multiple) to modify...

This is weird! Decided to TRY to Modify it anyway... and I got this error:

In Reply To:
Invalid Category '25', it does not exist.
There is, in fact, a Category 25... I checked.

Replaced the category name with "Famous Studios/Casper" and tried again- same error!

So, I CHANGED The Category from "Famous Studios/Casper" to 25, and got this error:
