Wheres the security on MODIFICATIONS? Whats the isNEW for?
Hi!

2 things.

1) Wheres the security on the modification module? Any1 can submit the modifications for review. Who does not tell you that everything on the site has been changed so must make the change? Who does not tell you a site competitor submits false data?

I would not like to install the siteid/password emailer unless there's no other solution available. Please advice!

2) What's the isNEW field in the sites awaiting validation? Why is it pointing to NO? So the site appears as NEW, but then why this field?

Thank you in advance!

Check the Resource Center for a few mods concerning the modification security.

The isNew field is not used while the record is awaiting validation. Since the link is not part of the database, it cannot be considered new, or popular for that matter. Once it is validated and moved from validate.db to links.db, then nph-build.cgi will set the isNew field to Yes if it is less than or equal to the number of days you specify in the $db_new_cutoff in links.cfg.

I hope this helps.
