Suggest-link ~Retaining Submitted Description Text

[Loren]

How can i retain info in the description field after either a suggest-link error or if the editor wants to edit his/her info?

At present it retains all the other info bar the description, which is blinking annoying if you just written a whole load of text, if you have to go back to fill something you have missed.

I tried to suggest link to my local copy of the script. It worked -- i.e. it retained description field contents.

I opened your directory and registered as editor (Vincent) to check it -- the description WAS NOT retained. Strange.

You can retain it by printing $_POST['description'] value inside <textarea> tag like this:


<textarea name="description" ... >{$smarty.post.description}</textarea>


Hope this helps.

I meant searching the page in your browser, not .php or .tpl file.
