Weblinks > ERROR: This URL is already listed in the Datab

Hi there,

Today I wanted to add some links into my new homepage. I added one link yesterday to see what the result looked like. It looked ok and didn't give any more attention to it.

Today I wanted to add some more links, so I went to the administration menu > web links and chose to add a new link. I entered the page title, url, describtion and selected the category (one category available). I then clicked on 'add' and received the error "ERROR: This URL is already listed in the Database!". I fired up mysql to check if there was some truth in this error... selected the database and entered "select * from nuke_links_links;" Only the website I entered the day before was in the database. Then I noticed that the url I added yesterday (www.google.com) was replaced with "/admin.php". Strange.

I tried to modify the old link back into "www.google.com" using the administration menu. No errors, but the url was not changed.

I looked at the 'add' function in /modules/Web_Links/index.php to see if the sql query wasn't working from the start but using that query in mysql the results I got back were ok.

So somehow the result from this add function isn't ok which causes the function to echo LINKALREADYEXT...which is "ERROR: This URL is already listed in the Database".

I can't seem to find the reason why I can't add the urls...maybe one of you has some ideas?

Thanks!

Dennis

If you modified admin.php with the recent workaround posted edit the new code, change the two instances of $url to $checkmyurl

Whoohoo! Yep, that did the trick.

I copy pasted the workaround earlier this week and wasn't aware of a change in code in the meantime. It goes to show that one can't be up-to-date enough Smile

Thanks!
