Allow Auto update of Modified Resource?

I've tried to search in the forum but have no luck.
Is there a way to actually Auto Update
users own Resource without having the need to verify the links?
Does anyone know how?

Look for Auto Validate. I just answered your duplicate question in the Modification Forum.

The most I can find is this code.

Code:
open (VAL, ">>$db_valid_name") or &cgierr("error in add_record. unable to open validate file: $db_valid_name. Reason: $!"); 
flock(VAL, 2) unless (!$db_use_flock);        
print VAL &join_encode(%in);     
close VAL;       
# automatically removes file lock

Change to New

Code:
# Print out the validate input to a "validation database" where it is stored until 
# the admin decides to add it into the real database. 
open (VAL, ">>$db_links_name") or &cgierr("error in add_record. unable to open validate file: $db_links_name. Reason: $!"); 
flock(VAL, 2) unless (!$db_use_flock);        
print VAL &join_encode(%in);     
close VAL; 
# automatically removes file lock 
# Print out the validate input to a "validation database" where it is stored until 
# the admin decides to add it into the real database. 
open (VAL, ">>$db_links_name") or &cgierr("error in add_record. unable to open validate file: $db_links_name. Reason: $!"); 
flock(VAL, 2) unless (!$db_use_flock);        
print VAL &join_encode(%in);     
close VAL;       
# automatically removes file lock

How can I apply this code for the modify.cgi ??

thanks in advance... Smile

Change the following codes:

Code:
# Print out the modified record to a "modified database" where it is stored until 
# the admin decides to add it into the real database. 
        open (MOD, ">>$db_modified_name") or &cgierr("error in modify.cgi. unable to open modification database: $db_modified_name. Reason: $!"); 
            flock(MOD, $LOCK_EX) unless (!$db_use_flock);        
            print MOD &join_encode(%in);     
        close MOD;      # automatically removes file lock

with the following codes:

Code:
# Print out the validate input to a "modification database" where it is stored until 
# the admin decides to add it into the real database. 

open (MOD, ">>$db_links_name") or &cgierr("error in modify_record. unable to open validate file: $db_links_name. Reason: $!"); 
flock(MOD, 2) unless (!$db_use_flock);  
print MOD &join_encode(%in);  
close MOD; 

# automatically removes file lock 
# Print out the MODidate input to a "MODidation database" where it is stored until 
# the admin decides to add it into the real database. 

open (MOD, ">>$db_links_name") or &cgierr("error in add_record. unable to open MODidate file: $db_links_name. Reason: $!"); 
flock(MOD, 2) unless (!$db_use_flock);  
print MOD &join_encode(%in);  
close MOD;  

# automatically removes file lock
