shaggy,
it looks like you're using an outdated version of the MOD... the line numbers you provided are way off the numbers of the current version.
Which version did you download, where from and when?
Get the latest version and try again.

Another good one would be to either upload them as a .txt file for me to resave as a .asp file. I'm sure that when you click on them in your forum that they work just fine : ) Another idea could be for you to cut,copy,and paste them in your next post to allow me to cut,copy, and paste them and save them as the appropriate .asp files. Either way is fine with me.

The files I use at the moment are included in the zip file of the latest version.<

My MODs:
Birthdays - Custom Policy - F.A.Q. Administration - Forum Rules - Guestbook
Links Manager - MyOwnGoogle - Profile Views - Search Log - WebSearch

Useful stuff:
Forum and MOD Installation - MOD Installation Guide - Snitz v3.4.05 Readme - Free ASP Hosts - Support Snitz

Is this MOD safe to use on a live forum yet? I only ask because I was going to install Links Manager 2, but LM3 looks more like what I want.

Thanks.<

The final version should be available soon; it contains some minor updates (email options, MySQL support etc.), so I recommend you wait until the release.
Though I think some people already use this MOD on live forum.

Serously - what would it take to make this into a multilevel category - I have a real need for a links/downloads library with multiple category levels in it. I am prepared to go as far as to try and raise some money from our forum members to ease the process :-)<

Well... OK.

I think I'll add it, I hope it won't be too much work.

Haha, no need for that, better donate some money to Snitz when I'm done

S! The current file library I use is now crashing our host when we do one particular operation in it. The situation has got so bad that our ISP is offering programming staff for me to get a new version written! If some our our site sponsers ever payup :-( I will make sure some money goes snitz way :-)<

Hi,

Earlier in this thread someone mentioned receiving an error message that I am also getting but in a MODDED version of Snitz. This error occurs when viewing a subcategory page if show 'stars' is selected (in admin page).

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d'

Type mismatch: 'getStarColor'

/helpwithpcs/inc_func_links.asp, line 354

My question is, which file is this function in and where can I get it

I have been using Snitz 3.4.01 and applying the updates when they came out thinking I was now at 3.4.03 because I applied them all. Obviously there are some changes not reported in the "Announcements" forums and I am indeed missing some changes! Too bad these are not documented somewhere like in the "Announcements: Security Related Bug Fixes" forums which would make upgrading easier.

Anyways, I downloaded the new version and found the "getStarColor" function in inc_func_member.asp and added it to mine. All works fine!

Thanks....<

Glad you got it working.
I was not aware of this.<

Hi,

Don't mean to be a pest but I found this if I do a search, the link to the Category doesn;t work because the URL is something like ...forum/links.asp?action=showcat&id=201 but to display the subcategory it should be ...forum/links.asp?action=showsubcat&id=201

The ID is good but the action part is incorrect. How do I fix it?

Thanks...<

Found it!

In inc_func_links.asp, around line 216

If display_method="search" Then
TmpStr = TmpStr & " Category:" & vbNewLine
If trs("CATEGORY") = 0 Then
TmpStr = TmpStr & "<a href=""links.asp?action=showcat&id=" & trs("PARENT_ID") & """>" & getCategoryName2(trs("PARENT_ID")) & "</a>" & vbNewLine
Else
TmpStr = TmpStr & "<a href=""links.asp?action=showcat&id=" & trs("CATEGORY") & """>" & getCategoryName(trs("CATEGORY")) & " / " & getSubCatName(trs("CATEGORY")) & "</a>" & vbNewLine
End If
End If

Should be:

If display_method="search" Then
TmpStr = TmpStr & " Category:" & vbNewLine
If trs("CATEGORY") = 0 Then
TmpStr = TmpStr & "<a href=""links.asp?action=showcat&id=" & trs("PARENT_ID") & """>" & getCategoryName2(trs("PARENT_ID")) & "</a>" & vbNewLine
Else
TmpStr = TmpStr & "<a href=""links.asp?action=showsubcat&id=" & trs("CATEGORY") & """>" & getCategoryName(trs("CATEGORY")) & " / " & getSubCatName(trs("CATEGORY")) & "</a>" & vbNewLine
End If
End If

Yeah, you're right!

Find the following code in inc_func_links.asp (approx. lines 216-223):

If display_method="search" Then
    TmpStr = TmpStr & "<br /><b>Category:</b>" & vbNewLine
    If trs("CATEGORY") = 0 Then
      TmpStr = TmpStr & "<a href=""links.asp?action=showcat&id=" & trs("PARENT_ID") & """>" & getCategoryName2(trs("PARENT_ID")) & "</a>" & vbNewLine 
    Else
      TmpStr = TmpStr & "<a href=""links.asp?action=showcat&id=" & trs("CATEGORY") & """>" & getCategoryName(trs("CATEGORY")) & " / " & getSubCatName(trs("CATEGORY")) & "</a>" & vbNewLine
    End If                       
  End If

and replace it with

If display_method="search" Then
    TmpStr = TmpStr & "<br /><b>Category:</b>" & vbNewLine
    If trs("CATEGORY") = 0 Then
      TmpStr = TmpStr & "<a href=""links.asp?action=showcat&id=" & trs("PARENT_ID") & """>" & getCategoryName2(trs("PARENT_ID")) & "</a>" & vbNewLine 
    Else
      TmpStr = TmpStr & "<a href=""links.asp?action=showsubcat&id=" & trs("CATEGORY") & """>" & getCategoryName(trs("CATEGORY")) & " / " & getSubCatName(trs("CATEGORY")) & "</a>" & vbNewLine
    End If                       
  End If

Hi,

Don't know if this is a bug or my own problem but I noticed that if I do a search it will bring up a listing (site) that is still waiting to be approved.
Since it has not been approved I assume it should not be diplayed at all, right?

I noticed the search section of the code in links.asp does have the show=1 in the query but for some reason doesn't appear to be working for me!
I am using an Access DB. Anybody else getting this
