I think you have a different idea of what a detail page is.

Check out http://postcards.com/ for a pretty standard (but modified) use of a detail page.

The information is entered on the add.html screen (we don't take submissions on that site, so don't look for one there). Usually, people add a field to the database such as "Long_Description" or whatever else they want.

Then, on the detail.html template, you make room for these extra fields. These are things that don't fit on the link.html template.

Check out the FAQ below for a really "munged" use of the link.html and detail.html to provide both more and less data in a somewhat random way.

My point is, you need to set this up. The functionality and features are all there. You need to decide what data to collect from the users, and what to display, and how.

The tag <%build_detail_url%> should contain the path to your Detailed directory, so you'd link to the file there by :

<%build_detail_url%>/<%ID%>.html
