By default...add.cgi will only build the select list if the
CategoryID is not found...like from the home page. But if you have to configure the following variable:
Code:
$LINKS{db_gen_category_list} = 1;in the
Links.pm in order for this to work.
Look at the following codes in the
add.cgi file:
Code:
# If we don't have an id, and can't generate a list, let's send the user a message.
if (! $id and ! $LINKS{db_gen_category_list}) {
&site_html_error ( { error => "Please go to the category you want to add to, and click add from there." }, $dynamic);
}
else {
if ($id) {
$name = &get_category_name ($id);
$category = "$name <input type=hidden name='CategoryID' value='$id'>";
}
else {
$category = &get_category_list ();
}
&site_html_add_form ({ Category => $category, %in }, $dynamic)
}Translation:
1) If there is NO ID and you have "turned on" (1) the
$LINKS{db_gen_category_list}, then send an error message to the user stating that they have to select a category before adding a link.
2) If there is an hidden print the Category name and hidden field for the CategoryID field.
3) If $LINKS{db_gen_category_list}) is turned off and if a Category ID is not found, then print the drop-down menu of the Categories for the
CategoryID field.
