Make URL field so it is NOT mandatory

[Glenn]

The people placing adverts on my index might not have a web site - I don't want to send them packing as it seems this field is mandatory. Any simply way or removing this mandatory requirement?

Thanks

Glenn.

Assuming you're talking about 5.41, if it's any other version then you need to search for similar code

line 216 and 217

Change

elseif (empty($url) || $url == 'http://')
$error_msg = $msg["10102"];

to

// elseif (empty($url) || $url == 'http://')
// $error_msg = $msg["10102"];

I think that's all that's required. You may also need to alter your database table idx_link and change url from NOT NULL to NULL

You will have to change files in the admin directory also.

just do a search for the same string and you will find the files
