Disappearing Descriptions..
Since the yahoo subcategories mod doesn't work with V1.11 of LinksSQL, I manually placed links to some of the subcategories for each main category. Well, over the last few days those have been disappearing. Why would this be happening? I checked the category description those links are there.

* Have you made any changes to the sub site_html_print_cat routine in the HTML_Templates.pm file?

* What codes are you using in the subcategory.html file?

* Have you edited the sub build_category_pages routine in the nph-build.cgi file?

* Have you edited the weights for the Description field in the editor.cgi script?

Regards,

Eliot,

I had changed the weights. But only for Description, Title and URL. I haven't changed any of the other files. If you look on my main page www.weathertalk.net you'll see what i'm talking about. Only 3 of my 12 categories are showing up correctly. This is just been happening over the last few days..

Here's my subcategory.html file:
-----------------------------------------------------
<font face="Arial" size="1">

<dt><strong><a class="link" href="<%URL%>"><%Short_Name%></a></strong> <small><class="numlinks">(<%Number_of_Links%>)</small>
<%if Has_New_Links eq 'Yes'%><%if Days_Old < 15%> <img src=http://www.weathertalk.net/new_<%Days_Old%>.gif><%endif%>
<%if Has_Changed_Links eq 'Yes'%><img src=http://www.weathertalk.net/updated.gif><%endif%>
</dt>
<%if Description%><dd><span class="descript"><%Description%></span></dd><%endif%>
</font>
-----------------------------------------------------
This had been working just fine..

When I go and attempt to modify the category record I get this message if I don't change anything:

There were problems modifying the record: The requested record was not found in the database, or there was an error modifying the record The requested record was not found in the database. Please fix any errors and submit the record again.

If I do change something then it modifies just fine. But if I check the database the categories are there. Hmmm very interesting..
