Additional fields under link summaries
Great looking product!

I was wondering about a few questions:

Is there a way to add additional fields/options under the summary of each link
eg. Review it, Rate it, etc are there in the demo version, can we add in additional
fields ourselves that can be linked off to other links/scripts that we have
eg. gallery, articles, files, bookmark it, etc?

or would this need to be custom programmed?

2. Is there a way of "redirecting" users from a link to another eg. make one the "primary" link for
where there are multiple versions of the same link ?

thank you.

Just edit the link.html template and you can add whatever you like.

Those particuler links are in the 'linkactions' paragraph, i.e. <p class="linkactions">

I am not sure what you mean by the second question.

Thanks Swissbob!

The second question was really how to address where I have multiple links of the same item/link. Is there a way of redirecting one to the other so we don't have multiple reviews etc. of the same item?

Can you give an example please?

You can have a link item inside multiple categories, but use the same item each time. Would that be better?

If you can have one link only that is active in multiple categories, that is perfect.

Thanks!
