modify & multiple categories
I may be missing something obvious, but I can't get the modify to allow multiple categories. Is there a way to do that? It's an inconsistency that needs worked out.

I've also hit the problem in the Admin, trying to modify some records. Even with a category selected, I'm getting a

"You did not specify a category for this link." error

I tried a bunch of things, but I still get it.

Both of these issues should now be fixed.

Alex:

I am encountering this problem, too.
When I try to modify multiple links I get the error "You did not specify a category for this link". Looking at the select field, I find that the correct categories are selected.

In the source code of the page the select fields' names are "1-CatLinks.CategoryID", "2-CatLinks.CategoryID" and so on. (You asked for that in another thread on the same subject).

So, everything seems to be OK - still it produces the error.
I'm using LinksSQL 2.0.1

Any hints?

I haven't had those errors in a couple of months!

They were fixed.

Did your install go ok? Is your database non-corrupted? Is everything installed properly -- tables updated, resynced, etc?

Yes. Installed without problems. Just to be sure I did repair tables and resynced - the problem remains.
I even tried with different browser to be sure that it's not a problem of browser compatibility.

Maybe it's because I am using a table prefix ("L2_")?
But other things work OK, so I don't really think that's the problem.

While checking everything to find the reason for the problem I tried to start with a new import.
What I found is that the import does only work when I do "straight import" i.e. preserving all the IDs from the old database. When I try to import without the "straight" option I get an error saying
In Reply To:
CRITICAL ERROR OCCURED: Unable to execute query `INSERT INTO L2_CatLinks (LinkID, CategoryID) VALUES (?, ?)': Column 'CategoryID' cannot be null at /htdocs/cgi-bin/links2/admin/Links/Import/S1S2.pm line 655
When I do the straight import I get only error messages saying that there was not enough info to add users so that the user "admin" is added instead - which is quite normal, I suppose - and the import is complete and successful.

That way the data were imported before the problem with "modify multiple links" appeared.

So maybe it has to do something with Category IDs not getting correctly imported?
