texte = Grant et al,I am running in circles on this and can't figuar out why. Here is the situation. Needing administrative control over a .db that others have selected username and password combonations for.I understand the security issue of having username and password in a .db.After using your suggestion to allow an admin delete, I moved on to admin edit functions.From the SearchResults.tmpl (witch gathers all the record information) I use:
DeleteThis passes the usr/pass combo fine and the record is deleted.However if I try the same trick to attempt editing for the same record using:
EditThe record is displayed with all the information that it contains. I edit a field and pass it off to the ChangeValidator.tmpl for processing and the field is NOT changed in the next search.If I edit the record, (as if I was the record owner) from the first SearchResult.tmpl and am forced to type a user/pass combo in the dialogue box, I'm sent to the same edit.tmpl that displays the record information. I then can make the change, hit the submit botton, taking me to the same ChangeValidator.tmpl and the change IS made.Because changes are made as the 'official' record owner, I know that the WebDNA works fine. But why does WebCat 'quietly do nothing' for the admin edit?<--Glenn-->~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Glenn & Renee Davis Exclusively Web / Net Highway (916) 887-0678 Web Page Design / Hosting Services POB 157, Cool,CA 95614-0157 http://www.ExclusivelyWeb.com http://www.Net-Hwy.com &&& ||| (@ @) (@ @) ----------------------------ooO---U---Ooo---------------ooO--(_)--Ooo------->> Mailto:renee@Net-Hwy.com Mailto:glenn@Net-Hwy.com Mailto:renee@ExclusivelyWeb.com Mailto:glenn@ExclusivelyWeb.com Graphics Design Webmaster
