I did a bit of editing of templates and of the links.def file to be able to use Links 2.0 for my project, an abbreviation directory. Directories such as mine don't use hyperlinks, and I wondered if there was any interest in this, or if anyone else had done it. Reply here if you're interested and I'll zip it up for you and upload it to a place where you can download it :)

Eventually I will be adding a glossary to my new site, so sure, let us know what changes were made.

This is interesting. Actually what I want to do is use Links as a registry of people who own a particular car.

Instead of a url I'd like a mailto: tag where people can email a person when clicking on the title. The title would be changed to the person's name.

The categories will be United_States/each state, and I'd make similar subcategories for Europe.

Before I get more involved with this, is it possible?

in links.db you will have a line that looks something like

URL => [2, 'alpha', 80, 125, 1, 'http://', '^http|news|mailto|ftp'],


looks like you could change it to

URL => [2, 'alpha', 80, 125, 1, 'mailto:', '^http|news|mailto|ftp'],

or even

URL => [2, 'alpha', 80, 125, 1, 'mailto:', '^mailto'],

then in add.html



I have the following in my link.html and at one time I had one or two links using the mailto and i think everything worked ok. NOTE: search the forum for clean_title.
