Can two or more people add and edit at the same time?
Hello,

I didn't want to try this without knowing I wouldn't break Links 2.0.
Could I be adding new links, building, etc. to the database, while another person on another computer does the same, without breaking anything in the Links program?

If so, how does that work?

Thanks,

Dave

Do you have more than one administrator accessing the LINKS Manager console? I would not recommend having more than one person access the LINKS Manager console at one time. You risk the chance of corrupting your database file.

Eliot,

Thanks for the quick reply.
Yes, I am referring to multiple administration to the Admin Panel. You think that will break things if I do that?

Thanks again,

Dave

Yes. Especially if you are allowing other people to use the build utilities. The better thing for you to do is wait for the Multiple Administrator Level Mod to come out, which allows multiple levels of access to functions to the LINKS Manager Console. It is being worked on by some LINKS users. I don't know when it will be released.

Another thing you could think about doing is download the DBMAN Template System that works with LINKS2 and adds records to the links.db and categories.db. This mod is discussed in the Links Modification Forum.
