Constant IN_ADMIN

[hel68c +]

Hi,

My question is a bit technical.

What is for the constant IN_ADMIN?

I work on the file listings.php with the function editListing($data) and I have this:

PHP Code:

        if(!defined('IN_ADMIN')) /
        {
            $sSQL=sprintf("UPDATE ".PREFIX."listings SET title=%s,shortDescription=%s,description=%s,price=%s,display=%s,url=%s WHERE id=%s AND owner=%s",
                      GetSQLValueString(htmlspecialchars($data['title']),"text"),
                    GetSQLValueString(htmlspecialchars($data['shortDescription']),"text"),
                    GetSQLValueString(htmlspecialchars($data['description']),"text"),
                    GetSQLValueString($data['price'], "double"),
                    GetSQLValueString($data['display'], "text"),
                    GetSQLValueString($data['url'], "text"),
                    GetSQLValueString($data['id'], "int"),
                    GetSQLValueString($data['owner'],"int"));
        }
        else
        {
            $sSQL=sprintf("UPDATE ".PREFIX."listings SET owner=%s,title=%s,section=%s,shortDescription=%s,description=%s,featured=%s,featured7=%s,featured7date=%s,price=%s,display=%s,dateadded=%s,expiration=%s,url=%s,pBold=%s,pHighlighted=%s WHERE id=%s",
                      GetSQLValueString($data['owner'],"int"),
                      GetSQLValueString(htmlspecialchars($data['title']),"text"),
                      GetSQLValueString($data['section'], "int"),
                    GetSQLValueString(htmlspecialchars($data['shortDescription']),"text"),
                    GetSQLValueString(htmlspecialchars($data['description']),"text"),
                    GetSQLValueString($data['featured'], "text"),
                    GetSQLValueString($data['featured7'], "text"),
                    GetSQLValueString($data['featured7date'], "text"),                    
                    GetSQLValueString($data['price'], "double"),
                    GetSQLValueString($data['display'], "text"),
                    GetSQLValueString($data['dateadded'], "text"),
                    GetSQLValueString($data['expiration'], "text"),
                    GetSQLValueString($data['url'], "text"),
                    GetSQLValueString($data['bold'], "text"),
                    GetSQLValueString($data['highlighted'], "text"),
                    GetSQLValueString($data['id'], "int"));
        } 


The problem is that if I place a new ad with the option BOLD and later I change my mind and I come back (press on Details link) for HIGHLIGHTED instead of BOLD, the system does not change for the new option.


I noticed that if I changed the line if(!defined('IN_ADMIN')) for if(defined('IN_ADMIN')), it worked. I wonder if this change will have problems later in the system.

The in_admin constant is used to tell the script weather you are in the administration or not. Then based off this it performs different queries.

I think the issue you have may be related to this bug:
