Editor.cgi : Problems of english understanding
Hello!

Click here to re-synchronize your .def file with your Mysql table.

What does the above sentence means? By clicking on ReSync will the def file get updated or the MySQL table?

Suggestion :

Button one - Update the def file from MySQL table
Button two - Update the MySQL table from your def file.

I did some changes through phpMyAdmin and tried to update the def files!

This is because with every import the script gives error string of "Cannot be left bland". This happened in the category import and the Import.pl.

"Update" -- changes you make to the Links.def file are applied to the database (such as field length, type, null, etc)

"resync" -- reads the MySQL table and writes out a 'default' .def file -- NOTE: depending on how altered your table was, the 'weights' and 'validation' fields can get changed back to the 'default' value for the type, so make sure those are set correctly, then REINDEX the database.

Remember: REINDEX has nothing to do with the MySQL indexes. Those are updated each time a record is altered. What re-index does is update the table_name_index file to match the new layout of the database records.
