modify security script.
My whole Links app works great now, with one little exception. The mod to secure modifications to listings by asking for ID, URL and email addy of link owner gives me an error that says "Unknown tag: Title", I can't find where that message is coming from or what is causing it...any advice?

Do you have a field called Title in your links.def file? If not, delete the field in the modify template files and insert the appropriate field tag.

There is a Title in links.def, but there isn't anywhere in my form to log into the modification form, just 'LinkID' 'Current URL', and 'LinkContact', the 'Title' only shows up in the sendmail thing to confirm by email, and the success page of modifying. I get there error when trying to first log into the modifying section.

Well, you need to remove the <%Title%> tag input field in the modify_first.html file.

Then in the sub send_email routine in the modify.cgi file, you need to delete all the $in{'Field'} statements.

Since I really don't know what codes you are using...please save the following files as text files:

modify.html
modify_error.html
modify_success.html
site_html_templates.pl
modify.cgi

Then upload them to a publicly accessible directory in your web server (NOT FTP SERVER), and then provide the URL to these text files in this Topic.

Regards,

You must be terribly confused...I am in no shape or form related to Gossamer Threads. I am a volunteer user who likes to help people improve their LINKS directories. I see no credit to "Eliot" or "Anthro TECH" anywhere in your web pages, so you must be refering to Gossamer Threads, which as I just stated...I do not work for them nor do I have any association with them (other than using their scripts).

Wink

I will take a look at your files later today.

Well, since I am posting at gossamer-threads.com, it is a logical mistake (other than your handle giveaway I guess)...sorry

Okay...I see your problem...

What you are missing is putting the fields that need to be modified in the modify.html file.

Look at Bobsie's Modify Form:

goodstuff.orphanage.com/cgi-bin/goodstuff/modify.cgi

See the difference between yours and his.

You need to add the following codes:

Code:
<p>Now enter the new information (all of it, not just the changes) below:</p>
<div class="margin">
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="bodymd">Title:</td>
<td><input name="Title" size="50"></td></tr>
<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="bodymd">URL:</td>
<td><input name="URL" size="50"></td></tr>
<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="bodymd">Category:</td>
<td><%Category%></td></tr>
<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="bodymd">Description:</td>
<td><textarea wrap="virtual" name="Description" rows="3" cols="42"></textarea></td></tr>
<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="bodymd">Contact Name:</td>
<td><input name="Contact Name" size="40"></td></tr>
<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="bodymd">Contact Email:</td>
<td><input name="Contact Email" size="40"></td></tr>
<tr><td></td><td><input type="SUBMIT" value="Modify Resource"></td></tr>
</table>
</div>

AFTER the following codes:

Code:
<pre>
Link ID: <input name="LinkID" value="<%LinkID%>" size="8">
Link URL: <input name="Current URL" value="<%Current URL%>" size="30">
Contact Email: <input name="LinkContact" value="<%LinkContact%>" size="30">
</pre>

in the modify.html file.

Also, you only need one submit input statement (<input type="SUBMIT" value="Modify Resource"> ) in the modify.html and modify_error.html template files. Delete the first one in each of these files.

BTW: Thanks for the credit...although not necessary...I just wanted to point out before that I am not associated with Gossamer Threads.

But, thanks...I really do appreciate it.

Regards,

Thanks again Anthro
