Hack to add the link ID to link search page

[esm]

While in the admin center, I wanted to be able to search the links for a specific link ID - hey, I'm an accountant, I like numbers!

First, add the following to link_search_form.html ( I put mine just before the Title section ):

<tr class=tbl_light>
<td>ID: </td>
<td width=280><input type=text size=10 name=link_id></td>
</tr>

Then in link_search.php, find the section like:

while($i<count($fields)) {
$field = $fields[$i];

global $$field;

if($field=='category_id' && !empty($cat))
$query .= "and $field = $cat ";

and right after it add:

// mod to add the link field
elseif($field=='link_id' && !empty($link_id))
$query .= "and $field = $link_id ";

Finally, you could add &#60;%link_id%&#62; to the link_view_rows.html if you wanted to actually see the ID print ( or just mouseover the [edit] hyperlink on the right ).

As I recall, that is all that needs to be done.

BTW, if you add something that will cause multiple pages you will need to adjust the line further down that reads:

$links_obj->more_param = "&pflag=search&title=$title&url=$url&description=$ description&cat=$cat&contact_name=$contact_name&em ail=$email".$custom_field_param;

I have never used PHP or SQL before April 28, 2003 when I registered with this forum

Whatever I have learned, I learned from you. And you have a long way to go to teach me more!

As I said, I just use the work you have already done as examples.
