adding new fields - prob with links.def
Hello *,

yes I read ll the faq's of the ressource center and the posts of this forum to "add new fields" to my links.db
e.g. http://gossamer-threads.com/perl/forum/showflat.pl?ubb=000865:Forum3

But I cannot solve a problem with my links.def. Everytime I want to run admin.cgi I get the fatal error:
In Reply To:
links.def did not return a true value at admin.cgi line 55
Any kind of ideas? It would be very kind of you, if you could help me!

I post my links.def here ->
Code:
