Build Changed Only - Not Updating Links Count
Hi there...:)

When I do a "Build Changed" of my links it only updates pages that have new and/or removed links from the listing. It doesn't update pages where the link count may have increased.

Is this a function or a flaw? :)

New and/or removed links. This is logical. Since the link count should not change otherwise than adding new or removing links... Smile

Sorry, should have been more clear...

The number of times a link has been clicked on..;) Links where the click-thru count has been adjusted are not considered new and/or changed when building..

Hi,

No, it should update links that have had the link count increased since the last build. Every time a link is modified (and that includes increasing the link count), the timestamp is updated. Build changed will update any category that has links in it that have been updated since last build.

Cheers,

Alex

Oh, sorry. I thought you mean link number in a category. Blush

Hi Alex..



I ran an updated "Build Changed" and then went back and clicked on a link to increase the count. The count increased as I verified via the MySQL however when I "rebuilt changed" it did not output the new webpage containing that site with the updated stats.

Can you verify on your running installation that this works? Could it be a problem at my end?

Anything I can do to help, please let me know. :)
