in the downloads area (where you downloaded linksql) there is a template set there with about 5 different sorts there.
for plugins look in the plugin manager in your admin area, click on Plugins, Plugin Download, List plugins at Gossamer... under there is a whole list of plugins, some free some paid. Click on some of the plugin authors names to visit their web sites - some have more plugins listed there too.

From the link you showed me, it sounds like if I change the default template, it will overwrite the first set. I need both template sets up there, with different number of links per page...
-------
I need to explain the situation better. I'd like the following setup...say my default links pages are here:
domain.com/links/
I'd like to automatically build a second set of pages based on a second template either here:
domain.com/links/yahoo/
or here:
domain.com/yahoo/
BTW, I run the nph-build every night in cron so that daily hits are updated. If I can even get this thing to work I suppose I'd need to run it again with a switch to get the second template set built.

I'm not sure you can bulid 2 different template sets standard - it sounds like you might need to do some hacking!
As a rough guess you might be able to duplicate the nph-build script and actually hard code the template set to use inside the two scripts, and also the build paths. Then run each script individually via your cron.
Others might know of a different way to do it...

Why not simply have a complete second /cgi-bin/links/... and a cgi-bin/links2/...
You can make 50 of these and set each one up as you want and play links all day long to your hearts content to different base directories. Sould not affect the database one way or the other as far as I am aware - you really only are dealing with a different template set and a different build path. Maybe some-one with better knowledge can advise if this way is not possible.

Please note, you will need another license of LSQL if you want to run 2 copies of it.
Using different template sets with a shared database would be fine. You would just edit the settings appropriatly for each install, but have them sharing the same database :)
Hope that helps.

So what you're saying is, just copy the entire directory structure from whereever you installed Links, this will cause it to point to the same database and not require a second license. And setting it to a different template will allow you to build to separate directories? So the template setting is NOT kept on the db?

If you are going to have 2 installations; then you would be required to have 2 licenses. The settings are stored in /admin/Links/Config/Data.pm, but this will vary.
Not sure if that makes sense

How about copying just the admin directory into admin2? This way it isn't a new installation. Your files are still pointing to the same add.cgi etc... it's ONLY for the purpose to create that additional set of template pages. Do you think that would work?
Or maybe you have some other idea how to build a second template?

Are you looking at having the 2 "installs" running on one server? If so, it may be possible with mod_rewrite. Something like;
RewriteRule ^directory/.*? /cgi-bin/links/page.cgi?g=$1&t=default
RewriteRule ^directory2/.*? /cgi-bin/links/page.cgi?g=$1&t=directory2
It would need to be a bit more complicated that this (to pick up things like "Cool", detailed pages, etc .. but the idea is there :)

Its not the "skinning/template sets" that is the problem. If you were to have ONE install, then it would only require ONE license. However, if you were to make a duplicate of LSQL, then it would be TWO physical installs, which would require a new license :(
DWH: Regarding mod_rewrite... do you have it on your server? It would make your site a LOT easier to work with, as you could get away with one LSQL install, and pretty much as many template sets as you want :)
Hope that helps.

Chances are, you will have it. To check, log in via SSH, and type;
locate mod_rewrite
... what does that give you?
We do offer a service for setting up mod_rewrite for LSQL: http://www.ultranerds.com/cgi-bin/details/54.html ... Not sure if you would be intersted in this... but I thought I would throw it in too :)

I get a listing of files with that command so I guess it's installed. And now I get what you're saying, using mod rewrite I can make it look like it's static even though it's dynamic. I guess in a worst case it can work, but it's rather a shame that GT has 99.9% of this built in to write out static pages to do this and is missing the final step in writing out these pages.

The Multilanguage-Plugin seems to be what you need. Have a look here in the forum or at the products pages of GT.
