Display specific category of links on homepage
Got a gal who wants the links in a specific category to display on her homepage. I've reviewed the other posts for links being displayed on html pages, but they are pertain to "new links" and "top ten". She just wants the links from a particular category to display on her homepage. Has anyone done this and would you mind sharing?

Categories in your website, right?

My suggestion is to use RSS feeds or you could create a non-ssi cgi script (kind of like a banner exchange, but exchange the categories with her) that she can then use the following codes:

<script src="http://www.yourdomain.com/bin/links/showcat.cgi"></script>

Another possibility is using XML.

Buh Bye!

Frown Well actually it's her links to be displayed on her own homepage. I checked out the RSS entries in the resources, but the links to them don't work. Unsure If anyone has accomplished something like this, I'd love to hear from you.

Ok...why don't you use an SSI script to include the categories on the non-Links 2.0 homepage...others have done this and codes have been posted in this forum in the past.

That's what I was looking for initially. As I stated in the original post, all the ones I found pertain to "new links" and "top ten"...not to displaying a specific categories links. Unfortunately, I'm not quite skilled enough in Perl to know how to modify one of those to display a category instead of the new links or top ten links.

I'm gonna guess that this something that no one has yet done since there hasn't been any other answers to this. I'll just keep tinkering with it and maybe I'll get lucky.

Thanks anyway.
