Re: [Heckler] pages wil not build completely
Hi All,

Just return some help, after receiving so much help from the guys here at the Forums.

I have over 1000 links in some of my catagories.

To do this...I made regular html pages with links and info on them, then made a link refrenced in my links catagory pointing to it.

eg. in help catagory:

link1 - somesite (url points to that site)

link2 - somesite2 (url points to that site)

link3 - raves help (url points to raves help.html page that has 500 links on it)

Note: Just make sure the page looks like the rest of your site and put a return to previous page link on it for your users! (Or use the frames mod!!! found in the resources).

Just think of the advertising possibilities....your ssi links on each of those pages pointing to html pages with advertising ads!!!! makes zoning a breaze!

Just name all those link pages with the .shtml extension (or whatever your server requires)...... Then insert <!--#include virtual="<%meta_keywords%>.html-->..where you want the add to show up.....then in the meta keywords on the links shtml page, put something like....004.....

Remember to use the path to where you are storing your ad html page in the call!!! eg. <!--#include virtual="/ads/004.html--> or use the full url path (http://somesite/ads/004.html).

Then name your advertising page 004.html

Thats It! Zoning made a breaze!

This way you can have thousands of links in each catagory, without maxing out the links database...

Hmmmm...5000 links x 100 links on each html page =

Gobs of links (500,000)....WOW!!!

I hope this gives everyone a useful idea to use Links 2.0 to its fullest potential!!
