Gossamer Forum: Products: Gossamer Links: Discussions: possible bug in editor system

NOTE: This may be old news but...

I was trying allow some editors to modify some links within a given category. No matter what, LinksSQL was throwing back an error -- "you are not authorized to perform this action" (or something like that.)

After nosing around a bit, I found what appears to be a bug -- at least in my build.

In admin/Links/Browser/Controller.pm the following code:

Code:
sub link_modify { 
# ------------------------------------------------------------------- 
# Display modify link form. 
# 
    my $self = shift; 
    my $base = $self->is_in_subtree ($IN->param ('CatLinks.CategoryID')) or return; 
    $self->{perms}->{$base}->{CanAddLink} eq 'Yes' or return; 
    $self->link_modify_form(@_); 
}

it should read as follows:

Code:
sub link_modify { 
# ------------------------------------------------------------------- 
# Display modify link form. 
# 
    my $self = shift; 
    my $base = $self->is_in_subtree ($IN->param ('CatLinks.CategoryID')) or return; 
    $self->{perms}->{$base}->{CanModLink} eq 'Yes' or return; 
    $self->link_modify_form(@_); 
}

CanAddLink should be CanModLink.

Hope that helps anybody else that was having the same problem.
