Hi, I hope someone can help me out with a problem that I am having with adding new fields to the entries. I have searched the database which has got me where I am now.

I have added 6 new fields to links.def for things such as price, version, and platform.

When I add a new entry and then build the files I have got all the modifications working other than price and platform which just say yes.

Below is how I added them to links.def

Platform => [10, 'alpha', 40, 75, 1, '', ''],
Price => [10, 'numer', 40, 75, 1, '', ''],

If I change price to numer I then get No appear in the links.htm file.

With the price I am also trying to ensure that it excepts $ and £ signs.

I hope someone can help me out

Thanks

Hmmm....both have the field id #....which should be unique.

40 and 75 are probably way too large for a number. You may want price to be

Price => [11, 'numer', 9, 9, 1, '', ''],

Instead of 9 put your own - 10, 11, 8 etc



Do you want to accept or except the $ and £ signs?

Gene

To accept $ or £ I think this would work.....


Price => [10, 'numer', 40, 75, 1, '', '^£\d |\$\d '],
If that gives an error you'll need....


Price => [10, 'numer', 40, 75, 1, '', '^\£\d |\$\d '],

Remember that the last filed in links.def has no trailing comma.

Ugh....the forum has parsed out some of the code - after each \d above add a plus sign

Thanks for the feedback.

I will try and type slowly this time so my English is slightly better.

I have managed to get the required fields to be placed onto the links.htm file no problems.

The problem I have at the moment is that when you submit information from the add.shtml file it is being rejected by add.cgi. However from the admin panel I can add them all okay.

Do you know if there are anymore fields within the scripts that require updating at all.

Cheers

can you provide any more info. what is the error message?

Gene

And don't remember to use Bobsie's upgrade.pl if U have data in your links.db!

and without "," at the end of the last field in the links.def

See Ya

I think you mean......

And do remember to use Bobsie's upgrade.pl if U have data in your links.db!
