Enabling Relative Links PLUS Using Perl
Hi,

I have Links*SQL which was purchased just a few days back, so it must be v2.
I tried to first search in the forum, but didn't find (or didn't understand what I found) an answer for this:
  1. How can I enable relative links to be entered in Links*SQL - [Add Link] page? Right now I'm getting a client-side JavaScript validation error message. But in the on-line demo at gossamer-threads.com, I could add a relative URL with no validation error message.
  2. How can I use perl functions, say substr(..) in my templates?


.. appreciate your response in advance,
SP

A relative URL, meaning internal to your site, without an "http://" ?

You need to edit the "match" regex in the Admin->Database->Links table.

Thank you, Pugdog .. for responding so soon .. worked just as you hinted.

Any clue about how can I use perl functions in templates, or may be, build my own functions and use them? I tried GT::Template help, but over-head-transmission so far.

You can use globals, to return tags, and have the whole power of perl behind you.

you can also build modules, add functions, and call them with a tag like <%Path::To::Module::function%>
