hey guy
i have the latest 2 featured listings on my directory to appear on front page
the problem is that this one guy keeps submitting a featured listing then not paying

is there a way to mod this code to exclude pending featured links?

{foreach from=$feat3 item=link name=links}
<img border="0" width="111" height="87"
src="<A href="http://pthumbnails.alexa.com/image_server.cgi?site=webspassage.com&size=small&url={$link.URL}"><br><img">http://pthumbnails.alexa.com/image_server.cgi?site=webspassage.com&size=small&url={$link.URL}"><br><img src="<A href="http://www.webspassage.com/images/icons/featured.gif"><a">http://www.webspassage.com/images/icons/featured.gif"><a href="{$link.URL}" id="{$link.ID}">{$link.TITLE}</a><br><br />
{/foreach}

It would have to be coded to aquire the link status from the db. I am not completely sure how to do it all, but I will see if I can come up with something.

Of course, if one guy keeps doing it intentionally, you could always ban his IP.

I'm not sure if your PHP call is pulling the necessary DB fields.

but from what i made bold above, your php is pulling teh status, and if the status is equal to two, which means the link is 'active' then you should be ok.

if you want to change the PHP, then add to your call AND STATUS = 2

^^that will only pull the featured links that are active via php, and you won't need to check via smarty.

as noted, you might not be pulling the necessary fields (e.g. STATUS) in your call.

Munt, check your php files for this.

And an0n can double check, but you may want to change it to something like this.
