Gossamer Forum: Products: Gossamer Links: Discussions: Get rid of cats, two columns in News.

Play around with the News at the moment.
I had to do the following things:

1. First i dont want all cats on my News, so there must be a way to exclude some.
Think here is it right:

Code:
 # Get the category names.  
    my @ids     = map { $_->{ID} } @$results;  
    my $catlink = $DB->table('CatLinks','Category');  
    my %names   = $catlink->select ('LinkID', 'Full_Name', { LinkID => \@ids })->fetchall_list;

Maybe with something like "Name" "!=" "Excluded" in the select clause, but how to write it?

2. Second one is to pass my links to the news-page with two rows, while some tags are not passed, i cant use the syntax from the ressources like in category.html

Code:
 <%loop links_loop%> 
<%if first%> 
<table width="480" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> 
 <%endif%> 
<%if row_num %2 eq 1%> 
<tr align="left" valign="top"> 
<%endif%> 
<%if row_num %2 eq 1%> 
<td width=50% align=left> 
<%else%><td width=50% align=right><%endif%>

and

Code:
 <%ifnot row_num %2 %> 
</tr> 
<%endif%> 
<%if last%> 
<%if row_num % 2 eq 1%> 
<td></td></tr> 
<%endif%>   
</table> 
<%endif%> 
<%endloop%>

Maybe i should try to pass the right tags in build.pm / news.
