I am adding a batch of links through an sql query and I have a question.

I have

Text Formatted Code
INSERT INTO gl_links VALUES ('', 'Games', 'http://www.sierra.com',
 'Sierra.com the makers of many of the games you play ',
 'The Sierra Web Site',
 '0', '2003-01-18 16:02:52', '1', '1', '3', '3', '2', '2');


as a link to add right but I see a couple differences from that and my saved datavase. for instance
Text Formatted Code
INSERT INTO gl_links VALUES ('20021115192738175', 'Curiosities',
 'http://www.silentblob.com',
 'Well it is the Silentblob. He doesn't have much to say, but he's cool.',
 'The SilentBlob', 18, NULL, 5, 7, 3, 3, 2, 2);


Firstly the lid is the first value from the key I have and I have all of the fields for that value empty. I want to how GL assigns lid value? I also see that where the database has a value of NULL I have a date. I forsee this giving me issues.

Any opinions as to what I need to do to correct this would be appreciated.

I will also post this on the Squatty site.

Thanks

Well, why don't you simply look it up in the code? Searching for "lid" in submit.php will bring up this line: $A['lid'] = COM_makeSid(); So this is how the lid is created. As for the date - that field wasn't really used up until 1.3.7sr1. Putting a date in there is correct (now) and shouldn't give you any issues, even if you're not running 1.3.7sr1, since it 's simply ignored in older versions. bye, Dirk
