Many directories with only one LINKS SQL
Hi I would like to create many directories with only one script

For example

my first directory could be : the links (as Many people do)

my second one : a news section

my third : an image gallery

4 : a personnal ad section ...

Is it possible to do a such thing? with some particular templates for each section? creating a table (with x columns) for the links, a table (with y columns) for the news, a table (with z columns) for the gallery....

Hi,

This is possible, except you can only have one Links table. So as long as the columns are not too different, it works. For instance our resources directory has a FAQ section, an Installer section, a Sites in Action section, and it works because you can describe what you want using Title, URL, Description, etc.

Cheers,

Alex

txs for you answer

Is there a limit we don't have to go over concerning the number of columns in a table.

I could do this

name
email
adress
zip code
phone
fax
company_name
income
meta_title
meta_keyword
meta_description
job_title
job_description
company_description
news_title
news_resume
news_content

and so on....then using the fields in the different templates (dependind in wich section I am....)


or do you think it is better to install as many LINKS SQL for each of my section (news, ads, links....). then, could I put all the templates in the same place?



thanks
