Updating Feature?
Hello.

Will your links SQL program be able to allow the submitter to update a listing as this site does with the email or ID?
http://www.scriptsearch.com/cgi-bin/modify.cgi

I did not see this in the demo version on this site.

Thanking you...

1) That site is powered by LINKS 2.0 (flat file version)
2) LINKS SQL uses a username/password fields to authenticate into the system, which is more secure than using a resource ID or another publicly accessible field.

Thank you Mr Eliot Lee,

Does this mean the only ways to allow a user to update a links resource is to sign-up with usname/pass?

I would prefer if it could allow user to update without this routine.

Basically, if they are the OWNER of the LINK, they would have to be a registered user with a username and password...HOWEVER, there is an option to not have people "own" the link and only admin would own it, but anyone could edit a link by entering the URL of the resource, although the script could be modified to check the resourceID.

Although in terms of quality assurance, I would HIGHLY recommend going the username/password authentication route.
