How to set all categories to auto approve for Basic links?

[inrated]

Hello All,

Is it possible to set all categories to accept links and automate the submission.


Right now, i have BASIC free submission enabled, but when a user submits a link, i get the email as admin and so does the user.

But when i log into admin back-end link is no where to be found? very strange.

Can anyone help with this?

thanks

Do you have the categories so that an admin has to approve the link? If you have it so that all links are automatically approved, you'll still get the same e-mail as if they have to be approved.

i recall that long ago, either Bruce or someone else had given me a quick method to put all categories to require editors approval.

Now, this only works if users submit links as paid, either premium or sponsored.

If i submit a BASIC free links, nothing happens. The link is no where to be found. not even for approval or validation from the back end??

Have you checked your SPAM links?

Also, you might want to check out this thread...

No links to validate - strange but they're

Let me know if this helps

thanks for that. I have checked my spam links and nothing is in there.

I have followed the chage in the old forum post you recommended to look in. I assume i had to add the extra or spam = '' after that in admin panel i get error message when i attempt to validate link>>
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING

I am using 5.4.1

Also, i have set all my categories to require editors approval, but yet, any free links are no where to be found.

When you say they are no where to be found, are you speaking of just within the Admin panel or in the DB as well?!?!

[inrated]

Admin panel. I have not gone as far as looking in the DB tables.

[inrated]

hmmm....,

i do see the links i submitted as BASIC (Free) in the DB under this table: idx_link_temp

[FSGDAG]

Are they in idx_link???

[inrated]

nope. just under idx_link_temp in the url field.

[inrated]

tell me exactly how i should insert this, from the previous old post??
is the below just indicating to add this: or spam = ''

-------------------------
if (!$spam) {

$links_obj->query = "select * from idx_link_temp where spam = '0' or spam = '' order by date desc, vid desc";

}

else {

$links_obj->query = "select * from idx_link_temp where spam = '1' order by date desc, vid desc";

}

---------------------------------------

Well, that post was for 5.4 and not 5.4.1, so its possible it was fixed and no longer needed in 5.4.1. If its giving you an unexpected T-String error, I would remove it and ensure that validate links work again.

I'm not the 'Offical NiceCoder Support Guy'... Bruceper is... You have three choices right now...

1 - Wait until Bruceper comes back on the board and have him get into this...

2 - Send an e-mail into support ( support (at) nicecoder.com ) and hope that one of the programmers or even Bruce picks up the ticket

3 - Send me your FTP information and IndexU Admin information in a PM and see if I can figure out what the problem is. I'm not guaranting anything... But maybe I can see whats wrong.

FSGDAG ,

thanks for all your help, i have opened a ticket, but i still tried to get help here. Seems like tickets might take long at time as they are busy with other things as well.

thanks anyway.

If the listings are in idx_link_temp and not in idx_link then one of two things is happening.

1) They need to be approved
2) The database structure for idx_link is incorrect.

Go to the admin panel - database - query and run the following

alter table `idx_link_temp` change `spam` `spam` char(1) NOT NULL default '0';

Yes it is telling you to just add that into that line.

If you're still having issues after this then send me your indexu login and phpmyadmin/control panel login to support
