hmm another bug i think i have found.

I have the option enabled that lets the user who submitted a site to be able to edit it, but for some reason they keep getting the following error:
Sorry, You cannot Edit this Site. You Might be Seeing this Error for a Few Reasons:

* This Site Was Not Added by you, and therefore you cannot Edit it.
* The Board Administratior has Chosen to Not Allow Sites to be Edited.

You Should Contact an Administrator to Find Out Why you Cannot Edit this Site.

Any ideas?

[derekivey]

Not sure at the moment, I will have to look into it further and see. I'll get back to you on this.

Ok, I have confirmed and fixed that bug. It will be available in the next release.

If you want to fix it now heres what to do:

OPEN delete_site.php

FIND:

PHP Code:

$sql = "SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "toplist_sites WHERE id='".$_GET['id']."'"; 


REPLACE WITH:

PHP Code:

if($_REQUEST['do'] == "delete") {
$sql = "SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "toplist_sites WHERE id='".$_POST['id']."'";
} else {
$sql = "SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "toplist_sites WHERE id='".$_GET['id']."'";
} 


OPEN edit_site.php

FIND:

PHP Code:

$sql = "SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "toplist_sites WHERE id='".$_GET['id']."'"; 


REPLACE WITH

PHP Code:

if($_REQUEST['do'] == "edit") {
$sql = "SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "toplist_sites WHERE id='".$_POST['id']."'";
} else {
$sql = "SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "toplist_sites WHERE id='".$_GET['id']."'";
}

awesome thanks

I am forced to delay the release of this hack. Today my site and all the other sites on the server, including my host's site, got suspended because of a billing issue our host is having. So right now I have no access to my board to work on the hack, so therefore I have to delay the release of it.

Sorry all.
