Fixing Problem reporting

[dwg]

Seems that the problem reporting drop doesn't work on my installation. Cause was the fact the author of the article is inputted instead of the user reporting the problem. Solution, fix libs/link.php

Change Line:
$smarty->assign('user_id', $this->author);

To:
$smarty->assign('user_id', $current_user->user_id);


Otherwise, you get some sort of Invalid User when trying to report a problem.

I've just got to give this wonderful post a friendly bump and thank the author dwg. I've been searching for the solution for this issue for a long while tonight, so hopefully bumping it up will save someone else a bunch of time. Thanks dwg!

In my link.php file it's on line 382, almost right in the middle of the file.

Toopie, did you include the bit of code from one of the older link_summary.tpl files? If you compare the skidoo and mollio versions of link_summary.tpl you will see the code you need to add to the mollio link_summary.tpl.

I dont see the code for link_summary.tpl could you paste it here?
