RE: Random Adoptables
 

Just out of curiosity, how would someone use Firebug or similar to get around the 'post' method? I played around with a copy of my adopt/doadopt and changed it from 'get' to 'post', then used the Web Developer add on in Firefox to change the method from 'post' to 'get' in my browser, and even though it does show you the adoptable id, it wouldn't let me do anything with it, if I tried to run it through the regular URL with the id included, the adoptables script wouldn't let me, it just loaded the adopts page over again. I tried the same thing with the doadopt page to see if it would let me do it that way, but it just came up with the invalid id message.

It's easy enough - you don't get around the method, you get around the hidden variables.
<input type='hidden' name='petid' value='2' />
In firebug, just change the value and you're set. You can't change it from post to get, but you can change the values. :?

Ah right yes, you can do that in the Web Developer add on too. Sneaky!

Still, I do like this post version I must say.

RE: Random Adoptables
 

actually I already use that query from the first place but the user still able to enter the url manually in the address bar to adopt the pet he wants :(

my problem now is how to change the method from GET to POST just like what brandon said

any idea?

RE: Random Adoptables
 

We changed the system at mystic grove to include a random code each time a new [pet is made.. then the code is called not the id number.. stopped our problem

EDIT: nevermind...I managed to do what brandon said
