Password Mod for Templates & Category Select Problem??

Hello,

I guess this question would be for Bobsie mostly, since he is the creater of the category select modification.

The password modification for templates and the Category Select modification seem to conflict with each other. In site_html_templates.pl file their is a sub called

Code:
sub site_html_modify_form

There are changes made to this sub in both of the modifications. I installed the password modification first, so it looks like the category select mod works, (haven't really tested it thoroughly.

The password modification makes this change to the sub:

Code:
sub site_html_modify_form { 
# -------------------------------------------------------- 
# This routine determines how the modify form page will look like. 

	my %rec = @_; 
	my $category = &build_select_field ("Category", "$rec{'Category'}"); 

    &html_print_headers; 
    print &load_template ('modify.html', { 
                                        category => $category, 
                                        %rec, 
                                        %globals 
                                    }); 
}

while the Category select Modification makes thisa change:

Code:
Change:

  my $category = &build_select_field ("Category", "$in{'Category'}"); 

to read:

  if (!@exclude_categories) { 
    ($category = &build_select_field ("Category")); 
  } 
  else { 
    ($category = &get_cat_select_list); 
  }

Do you know how I can make these two modifications work together. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks Smile

It would seem to me that all you need to do is change the line in the Category Select mod that reads:

Quote:

($category = &build_select_field ("Category"));

to read:

Quote:

($category = &build_select_field ("Category", "$rec{'Category'}"));

That should work okay.

OK, so what about if the Alternate Category mod is in the mix too? P/W plus Category Select give you this:

Code:

 &html_print_headers; 
    my $category = shift; 
   $category ? 

	if ($category) { 
                   ($category = 
                     qq~$category<input type=hidden name="Category" value="$category">~); 
                 } 
                 else { 
                   if (!@exclude_categories) { 
                     ($category = &build_select_field ("Category", "$rec{'Category'}")); 
                   } 
                   else { 
                     ($category = &get_cat_select_list); 
                   } 
                 }

And what I'm trying to get it going with is this:

Code:

	&html_print_headers; 

	my $category = shift; 
	my $category = &build_select_field ("Category", "$category"); 
	my $altcategories = &build_select_field 
  	("AltCategories","$in{'AltCategories'}","AltCategories","MULTIPLE Size=3"); 
	my $location = &build_select_field ("Location", "$location");

This forum has been helpful beyond belief, to the point where a non-programmer like myself can hot-rod this script to the nines, but now I'm stuck... any ideas?

Spyderdood,

Have you looked at this?
http://www.concepts2000.com/Mods/join.html

It combines the AltCategory mod and my Category Select Mod.
