Adding new links question..
Hi



When setting user required to No when adding new links... does links SQL Auto add the link owner as a user to the database?

If not how will it recognize them when they want to change it later?

Hi, I don't think it does create a user for the person. However, when modifying a link with the password option turned off, all the have to do is specify an ID, or URL, to modify the link Wink

Hi



You see the conflict comes..when you have set up the add link user required to No for a long while..

Then you switch to user required Yes..

The link owner will have trouble accessing their links.. and I could not find a solution for this yet..

You would need to come up with something to generate a username/password for each user. Its not quite as easy as just using a single SQL query, as I don't think the data resides in the same tables.

Hi Andy



Thanks

I recreated the users profile based on the links owner e-mail lists and that should take card of the ownership part..

Now on my Users plug in...

I coulc not figure out why it will not accept modifying the User name..

I can set it up wher they can modify everything in the user table, but when I set the user name as modifyable it will return error message?

Username (in the Users table) is a primary key. You can't modify a primary key.

You might want to create an "alias" field,and use that. Allow users to modify the alias, or display name, leaving the Username field intact. Don't mess with this sort of LInks internal. You'll run into problems with upgrades, and other people's plugins. :)
