Dan,
Both Links 2 and Links SQL operate in the same way when building pages. The web server creates an index.html in the main pages directory, and then a directory for each top level category and so on.
If you are able to build without changing permissions, one of a couple things could be going on:
1. Your web server is using CGIwrap or suEXEC to run as your own userid. This is nice in that your pages are created as your own user, and you don't need to worry about setting anything world writeable.
2. The files already exist and are world-writeable.
3. The home directory already exist and is world-writeable.
Other then that, I'm not sure what else it could be. The DirectoryIndex wouldn't interfere with your 404 cgi script.
As for the mods:
Rating with images - I think this can all be done in Templates, if not, it would be very simple to move over.
Add Confirmation - would need to be implemented, never seen this one before, so not sure how hard it is to do.
Priority links - similiar concept, but easier to do in Links SQL. 1. Add a new field called Priority from the web based admin, 2. Set the sort order in Links.pm to sort by priority first.
The include code - You can just use <%include filename.txt%> in your template to include it in.
Cheers,
Alex
