I would like to pass catid, aliased cat id and a url address value through a url link to prefill these fields in the add a link form - I've been fiddling with it for a while but can't seem to get it. The url with the variables I've been trying goes like this http://www.mysite.com/links/suggest.php?action=ad... The CatID gets passed but not the others - are the variable names right? Or do I need to make changes to the form so it can read the url variables?

I don't use alias in my templates so I can't really test it, but it looks like &filled=1 helps. /suggest.php?action=addlink&catid=1&aliasids=2&url=http://www.test.com&filled=1

You'd have to change

$blanklink = new onelink('blank', 'blank');

$blanklink = new onelink('new', 'new');

in suggest.php.

Thank you! For anyone who might need to know, I needed to use &aliasids[] in the url instead of &aliasids . The filled=1 did the trick.

Is this one of those weird brain puzzles that you'll never use? Or did you think of some trick that you'd like to share?
