static links
Hi,

In links sql the links to the html pages are like this
http://mysite.com/cgi-bin/links/jump.cgi?ID=75
and if one clicks on it it is redirected to the real url like

http://www.bob.com

I would like to have directli on the page the real link. is it possible?


Thanks in advance for your answers,

You can go to the Build Menu, then select User Templates on the left side, and then load the link.html template. On the link.html template you would want to change the part:

<a href="<%db_cgi_url%>/jump.cgi?ID=<%ID%>">

to

<a href="<%URL%>">

Then after you Build All, the static pages will now use the direct URLs (but you won't be able to track how many Hits each link gets).

Please note, that doing this will also cause you to stop tracking outgoing hits to your links, as it will no longer be going through jump.cgi.
