Category Permission

[tariqali]

Hi,

I have created a category and set the permission to not allow anyone to submit to it.

When I went to test it out, I browesed to that category and clicked on list your site and it allowed me to submit my site.

I did this to different categories and it is not working on any of them.

Did any one noticed this problem? I am running Patch 2 of indexu 3.

Thanks.

Are you adding these listings at an admin? cause I think its still possible to add links as the admin or registered user.



Run this query in your application setup query box to set everything to require admin approval.

update idx_category set permission = '1'

Hart,

Thanks for your reply.

update idx_category set permission = '1'

This is not what I am looking for.

I did more testing and this is what is happening.

When you add new category, there is an option to allow members to add links and directly go to database, or require admin approval or Not allowed to add links to this category

I have setup some categories to NOT allow anyone add links to them.

But when you go to that category, and click on List your site, it will take you the add form page. After they fill out the form and click submit, it give you the message that you are not allowed to add links to the this category.

I thought that this message should come as soon as someone click on List your site and tell them that no one is allowed to add links to this category or this category is not specific enough.
Now indexu is setup to display this message after they go through the trouble of adding their site and click on submit. I think this is not very user friendly and it could annoy users.

First I thought this function is not working, but it actually work but not in a very pleasant way or how it suppose to work.

My question is, is there a way to have that message "Adding links to this category is not allowed" come as soon as they click on "List your site"?

I think the best option would be to post this in the suggestion box and talk to dody about fixing this annoying feature as well as making the default to require admin approval, that's what is personally annoying me.
