When calling the as_url method or just using a tag we have like <%URL%> to link together subcategories, the returned URL is always the static version. How can we return the dynamic version if in dynamic mode or the static version if in static mode?

The tag <%URL%> will always be the same, because this is the URL of the link in the database.

All links that are pointing to categories, detailed pages etc in you Links SQL directory are 'dynamic' (e.g. page.cgi?g=....) when you are in dynamic mode and 'static' (e.g. /Category/SubCategory/index.html) when you are in static mode.

You also need to make sure that you have set dynamic_pages to yes in Setup->Build Option if you want to use dynamic pages.

the reason I ask is that for example in subcategory.html you have the info to format a subcategory link. I use <%URL%> and it always appears as static. E.g. /category/index2.html

What would you use so that the subcategory link appears dynamic in dynamic and static in static?

<%URL%> is a special tag in subcategory.html (not the same as <%URL%> in the links templates).

It should automatically give you a dynamic url if you use d=1.

you mean <%URL%>&d=1?

==> /mycat/index2.html&d=1 =-> I think this fails, but I can check it

If you put in as the address in your browser

http://yourdomain/.../index2.html&d=1

you should see the subcategories as dynamic links - something like

http://yourdomain/...t/index.html&d=1

Please see PM.
