I just need to ad a little tag modified or review link. For instance, at the end of my links, it says something like: (Added: 2000-06-13 Hits: 3357 Rating: 6.83 Votes: 6) Rate It I like it to look like: (Added: 2000-06-13 Reviewed 2006-09-10 Hits: 3357 Rating: 6.83 Votes: 6) Rate It (Aadido: 2000-08-07 Revisado 2006-09-10 Hits: 1275 Calificacin: 10.00 Votos: 1) So the website will look more updated (the old version I got is bilingual, so I need two similar changes). I don't even know if this older version of links has this capability already. Second, I'd also like to build the latest links first. I think I do that in links.pm, but not sure anymore... In anyway, I will PAY a reasonable amount for this help.

Look for "build_search_gb" and select "No".

Twenty bucks seems very fair :) I just paid via Share it (let me know if you have any problems with money). As usual I am satisfied with your mods.

Also updated & tested the code on your site. Now sorting correctly. Related sorting analization + fixing + support time was 35 minutes. Becuse of time rounding, 1 hour public custom work price is billed ($20).

At the end of any of my categories pages, I have a list of Related Categories (I just began adding related categories so not all of my cat pages have Related Categories entries at the bottom of the page). The way they are sorted right now is by first come first go basis. This probably would work fine for small directories, but I feel it will look much better and easier to navigate if they were sorted alphabetically. Each related category entry should be sorted alphabetically, according to the category and subcategory names in English and Spanish (I also have other French and German versions which are only translations made by a computer software of the original English version, so I don't need any work on them). This will work great for me, so if I change my mind about a particular related entry in the top of the list, I don't have to erase all the following one so it will look more "organized." I guess, you don't really think about the need of these mods until you start using them. I'd rather have just this modified than explained to me since I am not really a programmer. Thanks, Carlos Note.- The name of my website is my member's "profile," which is, of course, accessible to any registered member in the GT Forum.

So the link goest to the right place (coastal), but the title or text of the link should also say "coastal" but it says "amazonian" which is the same category where that category link is embedded. Also, I went to admin pages, and I tried to add a new Related Category in the category "spanish/Arts_and_Humanities/Amazonian_Culture/" but the system won't late me. For instance, I tried to ad to this category a link to related subject in the spanish section "spanish/Society/Herbs_and_Traditional_Medicine/" but the system won't let me. I get the following error in red: "Sorry, there is no category '' About the first problem, yes I did mention that in some cases I made the titles a little bit different to move some subcats to the end. Also I'll have to rename some category names in the Spanish section of "/Business/Companies." Let me pay you first, as agreed in PM, and then I will go through the tests.

Related links are now displayed correctly. You can check it in Arts_and_Humanities/Amazonian_Culture. One more info about problem 1): I found out, that problem 1) was not about Spanish sorting problem, but instead to sort by categories by title instead directory name. Changes was done in nph-build.cgi and HTML_Templates.pm. Best regards, Webmaster33 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Paid Support from Webmaster33.

I post my opinion, into this thread, too: Quote: Problem 1) sort alfabetically, correctly according accents. Being Hungarian, I had similar problems on my website, so I can help you in this problem. The solution may vary from really simple mysql based solution, to difficulter custom modifications in the core code. The estimated time vary from below 1 hour, to several hours. I can estimate better if check your mysql database & I analyze the code. Analyzation should be the max 1 hour, then I can tell you the rest. Problem 2) related links to match the current language This should be easily fixed, below 1 hour. I will analyze how can the Spanish category sorting fixed in LSQL v1.x. Coming back later.

However, right now I just need TWO QUICK fixes, because my web site is a fully operational portal that generates some revenue. This web is bilingual, with two versions written in both English and Spanish. These two versions are updated constantly (almost daily). However, in addition to these two original versions, I also have two other versions that were translated by a COMPUTER SOFTWARE from its original the English version to German and Frech. These two translation are therefore just made from an online translator, and therefore, they have nothing to do with Links SQL. * Problem One. If you would go to a category I got in English called "english/Business__and__Economy/Companies/" You’d notice that all the companies sites are sorted alfabetically. However, in the Spanish version, they will be arranged also alphabetically but in the alphabetic order of it’s categories names in English. Le me explain this problem with an example. The names of the two first subcategories in the category “Companies” are (1) Accounting, and (2) Agriculture. So they are sorted like that because that’s how this subcategories are sorted alphabetically in English. However, these two subcategories in Spanish are called (1) Contabilidad, and (2) Agricultura. So in the Spanish version of the site, you will see “Contabilidad” before “Agricultura.” Using just these two subscategories as an example, it should have been (1) “Agricultura” first, because it starts with an “A,” and “Contabilidad” second because this word starts with “C” So I need to fix that so the formating of the categories in Spanish will be sorted according to the words in Spanish, not in English. Again, the categories in the English part of the site work just fine. I really need this sorting done in the Spanish section of “companies.” However, if it can be done in other categoires without much extra work, that’d be fine too. Therefore, I just want to notice here that in some other categories, I have added an extra space in the URL “__” so I can push some subcategories to the end. I have done this intentionally, of course, and one example of this is in the category “Education.” Here, for example, the subcat in the URL is “Education/__Other_Topics/” instead of “Education/Other_Topics/” so I can push the subcategory “Other Topics” at last. * Problem Two: For tech-related businesses, I try to keep my domain name in low profile (but my URL is stated in my profile, for those who might be interested in doing this work). So if you go to my site, to the category “pages/spanish/Arts_and_Humanities/Amazonian_Culture/” You will see at the end of the page that a “related category” is “Arts_and_Humanities/Coastal_Culture.” There are two problems with this last link in the first category. First, the cat “pages/spanish/Arts_and_Humanities/Amazonian_Culture/” is in the Spanish version of the site, so the text and hyper link should be in Spanish and linked to a related Spanish categorory. So when you fix this, at the bottom of the category “pages/spanish/Arts_and_Humanities/Amazonian_Culture/” I should see a link with the text of the related category that in this case is “Artes y Humanidades : Cultura Andina.” Also, right now this category link goes to a URL “pages/Arts_and_Humanities/Coastal_Culture/index.html”, but this is the way the cat url would have been read if I didn’t have any original bilingual mods. So between the folders “pages” and “Arts_and_Humanities” there should have a folder called “spanish.” So the correct link should have been “pages/spanish/Arts_and_Humanities/Coastal_Culture/index.html” Also, the ENGLISH category section url pages/english/Arts_and_Humanities/Amazonian_Culture/, the text of the Related Category link is “Arts_and_Humanities/Coastal_Culture” In this case, this is a URL path, it should have been “Arts and Humanities: Coastal Culture” not “Arts_and_Humanities/Coastal_Culture.” In addition, this hyper text points or links to “pages/Arts_and_Humanities/Coastal_Culture/index.html”. It should point to “pages/english/Arts_and_Humanities/Coastal_Culture/index.html” So again, that folder “english” that is in the folder “pages” is again missing. If you click in that link you’ll get an error message. I have already talked to a couple of programmers for doing this two works, but the project is still open to anybody who might be interested in working on it. Of course, I’d consider not only how much I’d charged, but also the experience he or she has in this older version of Links. Carlos 62981ee6723fe77b019c33c80c0755b9 May 1, 2005, 2:45 PM
