Hi.

I hesitate to contradict a member of staff,
but are you sure? My local copy of the Links
SQL 2.2.0 Manual states, on page 21, which is
part of the section about the Browse menu:

The Category_Template field allows you to
designate the template set which will be
used to build the pages of the category you
are creating and its sub categories, if you
want a different template set to be used for
this category.

Further, I also have Links SQL 2.2.1 installed
locally, and the value in the Category
Template field clearly represents a template
set, not a template. For example, I have
a category in whose Category Template field
I have "galway". "galway" is a directory in
cgi-bin/admin/templates. It contains a "local"
subdirectory, and in this subdirectory are the
following files (among others):

• add.html


• include_menu.html


• category.html


• include_form.html


• link.html

All these files are actually used for the
category in question, i.e. it's not just a
question of one category.html file being used.

If what you describe is a new behaviour,
introduced with version 2.99.0, that would be
disappointing, as we were planning to use this
feature in the site we're developing. Still,
we can probably figure out a way to get the
same effect.

Just to make sure that we're talking about the
same section of the administration interface,
I'm attaching a screenshot showing the part of
the GUI in which I change the Category Template
setting.

Regards,

Excalibur.
