Gossamer Forum: Products: Gossamer Links: Discussions: Displaying new links on home page in V3

I am trying to display new links on the home page. I have got the global (named short) to work.. well almost
The string <a href=\"<%detailed_url%>\">more</A> doesn't insert the detailed link.

Code:
 sub {   
no strict;   
my ($rec) = @_;   
my $short;   
my $comma;   
my $cs;   
my $desc = $rec->{'Description'};   
my $id = $rec->{'ID'};   
if (length $desc < 175) {   
$short = $desc;   
}   
else {   
$short = substr ($desc, 0, 165); $short =~ s/\s\S+?$//;   
$cs = chop($short);   
until ($comma eq " ") {   
$comma = chop($short);   
}   
$short .= "...&nbsp;&nbsp;(<a href=\"<%detailed_url%>\">more</A>)";   
}   
return $short;  
}

I am using the same code as link.html to display the global "short" code and this does not want to display the detailed link either. I don't know if it is because this tag will not work on the home page or if I need to use a different tag.

I think I am making it harder that it realy is Tongue

What I am trying to do is display x amount of new links on the home page like hotscripts. I have noticed a lot of new code in the v3 links.html page for paid links. I do not know what has to be there and what doesn't. I just want to make this as simple as I can, so maybe I need to ask the simple questions...
1. How do I create a global in v3 to display the newest x amount of links on the home page.
2. How do I display the results of this global?

If someone can help me with this I will post the complete code once I get it ironed out.
TIA
