Is there an easy patch to keep the system from deleting the orginal closed item?
That's easy but not recommended.
Go to sub proc_new
and search the sub for this lines:
Code: if ($form{'FROMPREVIEW'}) {
$form{'REPOST'} && do {
unlink "$config{'basepath'}$config{'closedir'}/$form{'REPOST'}.dat" or oops($!);
comment out this line
Code: unlink "$config{'basepath'}$config{'closedir'}/$form{'REPOST'}.dat" or oops($!);
it should look like this
Code: if ($form{'FROMPREVIEW'}) {
$form{'REPOST'} && do {
#unlink "$config{'basepath'}$config{'closedir'}/$form{'REPOST'}.dat" or oops($!);

The changed (edited) item is no longer valid - so why should it be stored?

The edit problem is a real bug - sorry - my mistake :'(
Goto sub new
and search the sub for this lines:
Code:print <<EO_HTML if exists $form{'EDIT'};
</select>
</td>
</tr>
<tr bgcolor="$config{'colortablebody'}">
<td valign="middle" nowrap>
<input type="hidden" name="EDIT" value="$form{'EDIT'}">
add this line:
Code: <input type="hidden" name="old_cat" value="$form{'category'}">
it should look like this
Code:print <<EO_HTML if exists $form{'EDIT'};
</select>
</td>
</tr>
<tr bgcolor="$config{'colortablebody'}">
<td valign="middle" nowrap>
<input type="hidden" name="EDIT" value="$form{'EDIT'}">
<input type="hidden" name="old_cat" value="$form{'category'}">
Go to sub proc_new
and search the sub for this lines:
Code:
if ($form{'FROMPREVIEW'}) {
$form{'REPOST'} && do {
#unlink "$config{'basepath'}$config{'closedir'}/$form{'REPOST'}.dat" or oops($!);
delete $form{'REPOST'};
};
$form{'EDIT'} && do {
unlink "$config{'basepath'}$form{'CATEGORY'}/$form{'EDIT'}.dat" or oops($!);
edit this line
Code: unlink "$config{'basepath'}$form{'CATEGORY'}/$form{'EDIT'}.dat" or oops($!);
