How many times were you fighting something and you found out that the problem is not what you was fighting

I found the solution and I realy want to save sombody's time (I was tring to solve it for 3 long days !!!!
it turns out that Mr. Kiovi simply dont like fields name to be "description"
IE - don't try to use it on a field like
<textarea name="description">
so the solution in the case of the xdirectory or the mxdirectory is like this:
in the templates dir open xphns_modlink.html and replace the table row that includes the textarea to:
le="color: #000000"><?php <tr> <td align="right" valign="top"> <div align="left"><b><{$lang_description}></b></div> </td> <td> <{$xoops_codes}></td> </tr>
then open modlink.php in the root of xdir/mxdir
change:
le="color: #000000"><?php // Check if Description exist if ($HTTP_POST_VARS['description']=="") { $eh->show("1008"); }
to:
le="color: #000000"><?php // Check if Description exist if ($HTTP_POST_VARS['TZZdescription']=="") { $eh->show("1008"); }
and change:
le="color: #000000"><?php $description = $myts->makeTareaData4Save($HTTP_POST_VARS["description"]);
to:
le="color: #000000"><?php $description = $myts->makeTareaData4Save($HTTP_POST_VARS["TZZdescription"]);
then look for this:
le="color: #000000"><?php $xoopsOption['template_main'] = 'xphns_modlink.html'; include XOOPS_ROOT_PATH."/header.php";
and right after it enter a new line to call XOOPS form (which turnes to kiovi's site-wide hack)
le="color: #000000"><?php // Tzvook hack 4 kiovi // include XOOPS_ROOT_PATH . "/class/xoopsformloader.php"; // // Tzvook hack 4 kiovi //
and the last thing ... look for this lines
le="color: #000000"><?php $myts->htmlSpecialChars($description), 'adminlink' => $adminlink, 'hits' => $hits, 'votes' => $votestring));
and right after it put this:
le="color: #000000"><?php // Tzvook hack 4 kiovi site-wide hack // $TZdescription = new XoopsFormDhtmlTextArea(_MD_DESCRIPTIONC, 'TZZdescription', $description, 10, 60,''); $xoopsTpl->assign('xoops_codes', $TZdescription->render()); // end Tzvook hack 4 kiovi site-wide hack //
That's it ... now users can edit a record (suggested editing) with kiovi's help
it can of course be iplemented to sending a record too, but I'm lasy to do what I don't need to ....
foooo ........... got me tired, and my kids forgot who I am .... hate those things
