is user has no URL
I want to be able to give a user a listing even is they have no url. I'm thinking I need something like:

if no url go to detail page, if url go to link

What would be the tags for this? And I would edit the Link.html template?

Something like this in link.html should do;

Code:
<%if URL eq 'http://'%>
<%detailed_url%>
<%else%>
show your URL link here... probably through jump.cgi
<%endif%>

Hope that helps.

Cheers

Ok, problem. In place of the normal link I now get the actual detailed URL appearing without being linked. How can I make this use the title Not the URL and link to the detail page?

I'm thinking of a change. How about I make the title the link to the detail page and the detail link the 'Visit website' link. I already have the code for this in place but I'm having a problem with Title. If I use that as my detail link it will show the working for the link.

Thanks!

You need to use stuff like this (my above post was not literal :p)

Code:
<%if URL eq 'http://'%>
<a href="<%detailed_url%>" target="_blank"><%Title%></a><%endif%>
<%else%>
<a href="<%db_cgi_url%>/jump.cgi?ID=<%ID%>" target="_blank"><%Title%></a><%endif%>
<%endif%>

Cheers
