texte = Just a note about a somewhat erroneous error message I received the other day...I had a link that send the user to a page via
Clickwhere I was passing along both the name of the database and the current category. Unfortunately, I had forgotten to pass the db parameter to that page, so the link ended up reading
ClickIn other words, the value of db was, literally, [db].I had template security preferences set up to serve any and all filename extensions, but the _database_ security prefs would only serve .db and .txt files.Nonetheless, clicking on the link above generated an error that states Template security preferences will not allow...implying that I was somehow requesting a _page_ with an invalid suffix. But since I wasn't using template security, that couldn't have been the issue. In the end, it was the _database suffix security_ that was the problem...it saw my link and tried to find a file ending in [db], which wasn't a valid suffix.Something to fix in the error message for the next rev? OK, so I wouldn't have had this problem if I'd sent the db parameter properly, but the error message kept point me in the wrong direction to find the cause of the problem...Just a tip in case anyone runs into this in the future!spud. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- a.h.s. boy ---------------------- manifesto overlord, dada typographics spud@nothingness.org ------- http://www.nothingness.org/ Now featuring Social Anarchism and the Situationist International archives J'suis l'enfant de l'etat, et je me bats contre ca
