Questions for Articles Submission
Hello,

I have a question : I want to let visitors contribute to the contents of my site, by letting them submit their own articles to me, and I think the perfect way to do that is to use links 2.0; I saw a nice example on this website http://www.parcferme.com/add.cgi.

I want to ask whether you can tell me how I can achieve a similar result without using LinksSQL since I have no SQL support.

I can't afford to have a large database of links.db because it's a flat file and I already have over 2000 articles ready to be put up on the net.

I would also like to still be able to use the modify and build function in links 2.0.

A way that I can think of is that when people submit the stories, it executes a mod script that will build .txt files with the ID number (1.txt, 2.txt, 3.txt, 4.txt etc).

After I approve the submission, links 2.0 will then build the html files (1.html, 2.html, 3.html, 4.html etc). I would like to have both .html and .txt version because web space is not a concern for me.

When I want to modify articles, I will be modifying the text files then I will build the html files again afterwards.

It's like having the content of links.db in separate text files with all search, modify and build function all intact. But the thing is that I don't know how to do this since I'm not a Perl Programmer.

Can any of you help me?

Thanks,
Indri
