i am using links 2.01 (i think - it's the flat file version) and am having problems with the span pages function.

i have searched the forum and tried the fixes, but nothing seems to work.
in links.cfg i have

$build_span_pages = 1;
# Number of links per page.
$build_links_per_page = 10;


but when i build my category pages (i haven't started entering links yet) all sub-categories show on the page - e.g. if there are 20 sub-cats there will be 20 displayed on the page.

the template has the appropriate next/previous code, but since all sub's are being displayed the next/prev code isn't being displayed anyway.
have there been any definate answers posted to this? i couldn't find them if they were.

by the way, is there a way to set the number of columns to display categories?
instead of 2 i would like to have 4


thanks for the help

Hi,

1) Wrong forum ;) (this is Gossamer Links, SQL - not the flatfile version, which is further down (I'll move it for you)

2)


Thats how its meant to work. If you look, you've notice it says LINKS per page, not Categories ;) On a category page, ALL the categories are shown.

3) Re the 4 column links, I'll have a quick look for you. I think there is a 3 column hack, but its been a long time since I worked on Links2.

Hi,

This is the closest I could find for a multiple-column link thing:

http://mainstop.com/...mn_link_listing.html

If you have a little bit of Perl knowledge, you could probably change it yourself to make 4 columns. If I had time, I would take a look at it - but I'm afraid I'm a bit busy at the moment, and don't have time to setup a new links2 install+ test out the mod/make changes to it.

Anyway, hope that helps.

Cheers
