Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knows how to automatically add to a current directory a user is in without generating a category select list in the form. I know its possible with SQL Links.
Thank you inn advance.

It is also available with the standard LINKS 2.0 release. Go to the Resource Center and download Bobsie's Exclude Category Mod.

Hi Elliot,
I already have this mod. Maybe I did not explain properly. Let's say the user is in "category1/subcat1" and when they click on the Add URL the category list is not generated but the current category is written into a form as <input type=hidden name=category value=category1/subcat1>

If they go to let's say "category1/subcat1/subcat1" and click on Add URL the form will have input <input type=hidden name=category value=category1/subcat1/subcat1>

Is this possible.

You have to add the subcategories in the @exclude_categories array in links.cfg file. Same format as you add them in the LINKS MANAGER console, like the following:


Hope this works and helps.

Hi Elliot,
Like I am trying to explain, I have the Exlude Mod installed aready and it's working fine. My question is how a user can add to the current directory they are in without choosing from a select list of categories. Perhaps if I point you to a thread that explains how to do that in Links SQL version, it will help you understand my question: "How can I achieve the same in Links 2.0?"

I hope you will be able to help.

When you were setting up your links.cfg variables, you should have seen this just below the file extension variable.

change:
to

Is this what you mean?

Thank you for responding. I have this in link.cfg
$db_single_category = 1;
and it does not do what I am trying to explain. All I want to do is automatically assign a current category the user is in when they click on Add URL without generating a category select list.

I am very puzzled, why no one can understand what I am talking about.
I am still hoping that someone will.

we understand you, and what you just said


Turning db_single_category to 1 does do this exactly.
