I'm currently running 2.6.3 - so if this is what was fixed in 2.6.6, please let me know.
I'm running the FAQ database but linking to specific categories from various parts of my website. If I add a new section, and reorder them, the links end up pointing to the wrong FAQ category.
Is there a fix for this?

Re: linking to ID then reordering
can you please add this as an item to update in the next release? I have about 30 categories, being linked to individually from all over the 3000-page website, and finding the links to update them is time consuming.Thorsten wrote:no.dmpp wrote:Is there a fix for this?
I would imagine that this can be an easy fix by being able to link directly to a category via the URL string. Why is it that when I re-order the categories, the cat # changes?
I link to the categories by pointing the link to: index.php?action=show&cat=18 (for example).
Should I be linking some other way?

Hi,
I'll think how to solve that issue.

this isn't an easy fix. The ID of the category is changing because I implemented that way.dmpp wrote:I would imagine that this can be an easy fix by being able to link directly to a category via the URL string. Why is it that when I re-order the categories, the cat # changes?

Re: linking to ID then reordering
Hi,
Perhaps this (and other) issues could be resolved by using UUIDs - either by themselves or in complement to the current ID implementation.
The UUID would permanently identify the item and the current ID (or a specific field) could be used to custom order items on a list.
There are several free implementations of secure UUID generators in JavaScript, PHP,...
We were writing a text to post on the "Proposals" forum about UUIDs and phpMyFAQ - perhaps it will be more clear than this short reply.
..
Kind regards
