#22 Edit snips with category

[Normando Hall]

With this mod you can edit your snip, and change the category also!!

File "snips_edit.php"

In line 53 replace from

echo '<input type=hidden name=cats value='.$_GET['cats'].'>';

to

echo '<input type=hidden name=old_cats value='.$_GET['cats'].'>';

In line 47 AFTER

echo '<table width="600" border="0"><tr><td class="fr1">';

INSERT:

echo '<table width="600" border="0"><tr><td class="fr1">';
echo '<b>Select category:</b> &nbsp;<select name="cats">';
foreach($all_cats as $cat) {
if(strlen($cat) >1) {
echo "<option value=$cat>$cat</option>\n";
}
}

echo '</select></td></tr><tr><td class="fr2">';

In line 22 replace from

if(file_delete($_POST['cats'],$_POST['old_snip'])) {

to
if(file_delete($_POST['old_cats'],$_POST['old_snip'])) {

ENJOY

Sugestion: Any one can make a mod to include SUBcategories?

In the mod of line 47 change the foreach loop to:

foreach($all_cats as $cat) {
if(strlen($cat) >1) {
if($_GET['cats']==$cat) {
echo "<option value=$cat selected>$cat</option>\n";
}else{
echo "<option value=$cat>$cat</option>\n";
}
}
}

to get the snips category preselected in the menu box.

Enjoy again.

Thanks for sharing, you forgot one important thing, add it as following:
change:

foreach($all_cats as $cat) {
if(strlen($cat) > 1) {
echo "<option value=$cat>$cat</option>\n";
}
}

To:
foreach($all_cats as $cat) {
if(strlen($cat) > 1) {
$selected = ($_GET['cats'] && $_GET['cats'] == $cat) ? "selected" : "";
echo "<option value=$cat $selected>$cat</option>\n";
}
}

Otherwise the category will be changed to the first option everytime a snippet is edited, and we don't want that.
