Hi Mimo

You don't say what you were doing when you tried=20
to do this ... were you writing code, or running=20
the AA interface.

This should of course never happen in the AA code.

If its something you are writing ...

The idea of the Zids structure is to covert=20
between the far-to-many ways that IDs are stored=20
and used within the system, i.e. long, short,=20
packed and tagged  and three variants of quoting=20
packed ids.

Essentially the idea is that any part of the code=20
can use the zids structure, without caring what=20
form  the ids are actually stored in, and then=20
extract from the zids structure the ids in the=20
form it needs.

However not all the possible translations are actually coded.

What you are doing, is presumably working=20
somewhere where you need shortids, but whatever=20
created the array of shortids created it with=20
packed ids.

Unfortunately I can't get my installation to=20
update from CVS (see separate message) so I can't=20
be 100% sure, but the copy I've got does NOT=20
contain this error message in shortids, which it=20
looks like could handle packed ids (type p).  I'd=20
suggest updating your aa installation and trying=20
again. Otherwise, please email me a copy of=20
apc-aa/include/zids.php3  , and/or check its at=20
or later than version 1.26 (second line of=20
zids.php3).
