I just noticed that if I am within a category and I click "Add A Site", the URL I am taken to is ...directory/add.html=CATCODE

CATCODE is the category number. This page looks exactly like the "Browse" or "Top" page and there is no form to add a site. I have to click Add A Site again from that page in order to get the form.

This is happening on both of the sites that I've installed DewNewPHPLinks on.

I noticed that on Fatty Matty's site the link comes up as ...directory/add.html?PID=CATCODE and you do get the form right away although it does not pre-select the category that you clicked from.

It seems to me that in a perfect world if someone were to click "Add A Site" from within a category, it should be assumed by default that they want to add the site within that category, but I'll settle for getting the form to appear on the first click if someone can direct me as to what's wrong.

Thanks

You appear to have the version with a slight glitch in the top navigation menu, I think you'll see the bottom add site link works..

Edit /themes/X/navbar.top.php where X is the theme you use , note the subtle change made below to the "if ($PID" line

Code:

$html .= "href=\"$gl[BasePath]/directory/add.html"; if ($usesession == "yes"){$html .= "$and" . session_name() . "=". session_id() . "";$and ="&";} if ($PID > "0"){$html .= $and."PID=" . $PID . "\"";} $html .= "\">Add A Site</a></td>";

The preselected category issue.. well thats just stupidity on my part Edit include/add.php Locate the lines that read ...

Code:

$htmlsrc .= drop_cats($PID, 0, "", $cats); $htmlsrc .= $cats;

There are 2 "if { }" blocks above that, just remove them, or comment them out. If it still doesnt work, make sure you have this line, near the top of the file

Code:

$PID = mysql_escape_string($_GET['PID']);

yep - I did have to make this change back in 2005 or 2006. I remember that one now.

Both of those changes worked perfectly. I only had to comment out the 2 blocks. Did not have to add the other code. Thanks!
