How to turn detailed view off for category listing?
Hi,

when I do look at a subcategory where entries are, those entries are shown with all details, but I'd prefer to have the surfer to click on each entry to have a detailed view.

How can this be done?

Thanks,
Sven

Ok, I got this fixed by myself trying to edit link and detailed Smile

But now there's another thing:

When building detailed pages, the links do look like this:
domain.com/links/Detailed/2.html

but I would like to have
domain.com/links/category/subcategory/Title.html or even better domain.com/links/subcategory/Title.html

any ideas?

Thanks,
Sven

  • Login to GLinks Admin view
  • Click on Setup in Top Menu
  • Click on Build Options in Left Menu
  • Scroll down to "build_category_format" & Select option of your choice.
  • Scroll down to "build_detail_format" Use Advanced and use the property of your choice.

It should do what u want and more.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your help! I use "%Name%/%Title%" and it works :)

One more thing: is it possible to turn the "/Detailed" folder off? I couldn't find any option there.

Thanks,
Sven

It is possible and very simple.
  • Login in to GLinks Admin View
  • Click on Setup from Top Menu
  • Click on Paths and URLs on left menu.
  • Scroll down and look for "Update other paths and URL's to reflect base? If selected, paths like What's New, What's Cool, etc. will be automatically updated, otherwise click here to view them and set them manually" & Click on the "Click Here" Link.
  • Update build_detail_url & build_detail_path as desired to change /detailed/ for detailed url.

I would recommend to do some testing with your GLinks Install and even read the manual. GLinks has many many & many features that you can use to make your web site wonderful, however without understanding the manual & GLinks working, it might be little harder.

Hope this helps.
