Heh,

I added Ivan's global and Laura's global, named Ivan's global get_link_numbers, and Laura's global set_link_number

and added the links loop in category.html and added

<%if display_start%>
<%set current_link_number = $set_link_number%>
<%endif%>

<%if current_link_number%><%current_link_number%><%endif%>

to link.html

however i still don't get the numbers to display!

here's the values offrom the gt dump of the category.html

get_link_numbers $VAR = 'CODE(0xb0edec0)';

set_link_number $VAR = 'CODE(0xb1b7d28)';
