First, Thanks for your help in advance!

Second, here s my problems.

V2.0
I changed the whole thing for the Templates using Frontpage.. I Left all the <%site_title%> and others as their orginal locations. THOSE <%..%> are not deleted. they are still there... And the contents of the web site looks like Yahoo.com. Since I modified those templates by fronpage and never bother to the Site_html_templates.pl files. I uploaded them and try to add links and the SITE MENU looks so big and when I create new categories... Those Categories Look As the orginal Links 2.0... And It Create a Duplicate Footer as I already did in my Templates HTML files. I wanna know what can I make changes to site_html_templates.pl ???

SEE, Links 1.11 just edit the site_html.pl and it does automatically.. but links 2.0 give many headaches..

Finally, I changed the Templates HTML Documents to the way it should be looking... What other changes that I have the do besides those TEmplates HTML file under Admin/templates Folders??

And ideas???

Thanks

I dunno, your message is a bit confusing to read. Perhaps if you broke it down to identify one problem at a time, it would be easier to answer.

Also, don't forget, you don't have to use templates in v2.0 although they are a bit easier (for me) to work with than editing a script. You can just move your v1.1 site_html.pl to v2.0 and turn templates off in links.cfg. There may be a few things you will need to edit in site_html.pl but, for the most part, it will work unchanged.

That would give you more time to figure the templates stuff out if you eventually would like to use them.

I had the same problem. I worked around this by the following:
I edited the category template using Frontpage and did not insert any <%...%>'s.
I then saved the category template and opened it with a text editor, inserted the <%..%>'s and uploaded it to my site using ftp.

You could still use site_html.pl, if you are comfortable. It will only make it bigger and hard to manage.

Templates are the best and you can probably have more flexibility with your layout and design by using templates, as long as you are comfartable with HTML. The best part of it is actually <%whatever%> tags.

In terms of design flexibility either of the options are great, though I prefer to use templates. Give it a try, delete all references to css in your templates and just include <%> tags to callin the appropriate values. The layaout can be changed to whatever you want it to look like, just by manipulating the HTML. Like everything else, it will take some time to understand how they work and what you can and can not do with templates.
