Search by LinkOwner
I seem to not be able to search by LinkOwner, under database then Links - Search how do you search by LinkOwner to find out how many links a particular person has added.

That might be something to build into the User management features. How many links each user has. I don't know if I would keep count in the user record, or just have a link to do a pop-up select on it.'

Or, when browsing a category, an option for "LinkOwner" (along with edit, delete, etc) that would open a screen of the user information along with a list of the links they owned.

If you want to do that now, you can use mySQLMan from the admin screen and just

select * from Links where LinkOwner = 'whatever'

Hi Daniel,

This works fine for me. Database->Links->Search and enter 'admin' in the LinkOwner field. It then pulls up all links owned by Admin.

I'll look at adding pugdog's suggestion in.

Cheers,

Alex

Hi alex,
It seems to now let me type in what I want to search for, yesterday it had it allready filled in with admin. Not sure if that was some bug I stumbed upon or not, but seems to work and pugdogs method also worked.

Alex...that would be cool :) (adding in those features)

Also, feel free to add in the modify hack, so that users are presented with their list of links on a modify. Actually, if done in the base code it's only a few lines.

The problem I had is showing the categories associated with the links. It's a 3-way join or a separate look up for each record.
