Evening all. It's been a while since I have been here but I'm stuck on a problem as I want to make some more bespoke changes.
We run a closed membership book site with multiple server access - the main site itself is working great with all the bespoked changes we have made. Our file downloads contain EPUB and MOBI versions of books in a downloadable ZIP file. Now of course there are many book series that newcomers to certain authors/series may just want to download the entire series in one-click - which is where one of our spare servers will come into its own.
This server will have two versions of the complete series - one for EPUB and one for MOBI. Now it's not a problem with regards to checking out these series of books because they are all "free" downloads once the member has signed up and paid an annual subscription.
Our data structure is:
Genre (top category)
==> Author
==> Series (or standalone books)
What I am trying to achieve is to add a field to the Category Descriptions table that can be picked up in the user interface to build two links to the secondary server (SeriesName1_EPUB.zip and SeriesName2_MOBI.zip) as direct downloads.
So I have made the necessary changes in the languages/english/categories.php file and for new categories have a working page that displays my new field added to the Categories Description Table (cat_series_link)
On testing I can enter into this field but an array display and exit is showing that the field is blank when it saves it to the database - so I am missing a trick somewhere!
The file changes to admin/categories.php so far are attached:
I would be extremely grateful if somebody could advise why on entering a new category this new field remains blank.
Many thanks
Alan
