link directory...can someone make this?

[Shemo]

rateu,

I recently changed the name of a category from shaving blogs to shaving blogs & websites and for some reason, the category is still showing as shaving blogs as seen in this screenshot:
   

I've made the changes to the link category custom thread field plus changed the text in xtldirmost_forumdisplay_threadlist and xtldir_forumdisplay_threadlist and template to show as this:

Code:

1 2 3 4 5 6

<tr> <td class="trow1"> <strong><a href="{$forumurl_q}filtertf_xtldcat=Shaving Blogs & Websites">Shaving Blogs & Websites</a></strong> <div class="smalltext">Links For Shaving Blogs & Websites</div> </td> </tr>

---

any reason why it's still only showing up as shaving blogs?

Do a template search.  If you can't find it, search all files.

did a template search for "shaving blog" and it returned both of the same templates that I mentioned earlier and both had the necessary changes that I could see.  how do you search all files in mybb?

Use a text editor.  Download all files, use something like Notepad++ and search all files.

that's what I thought you were talking about...

why would I search all of the files when the issue I'm having is from template edits?

If you believe it's from template edits, then find the template responsible and fix it.
Have you even tried tracing it down at all?

Shemo - maybe it is your cache. This happens to me a lot on Opera.

@ Shemo: I don't know whether the thread in your screenshot (Shaving 101) already exists or not before you change the category.
If it is already exists, try to create a new thread as test thread, and select that category.
If the category displayed on the test thread is the same as the new category name ('shaving blogs & websites'), maybe you need to update all threads that use the old category ('shaving blogs'), you can use Custom Moderator Tools to mass update it.
Before you mass update it, try to filter threads using the new category first, whether it will filter the test thread or not.

I have my browser set to clear all history, cookies, and the cache upon closing the browser.

the issue was (and I figured this out last night when adding a new site to the directory) is exactly as you described.  what I did was modify the category after already adding a few links in the "old" category.  there wasn't many so I just went through and manually edited them.

is there a way xthreads can run a check on this and update the categories?

Sometimes the '&' char will give you a query URI? Maybe you need to try to filter using the new category name?

Yumi/ZiNgA already added a new feature (for the next XThreads version) to make us easier to manage our category/filter name (update/edit) for our XThreads applications.
Basically, we can edit/change the category name whenever we want. Because we can use "key" and "value" for each value inside our Value Lists, similar to an array.
We can make it works together with the Formatting Map List setting.
For your case above, you only need to edit the "value" for that category.
