Hyperlink on/off mod

Hyperlink on/off mod
I have 3 questions-
1. Is the "hyperlink on/off mod" for links 2.+ perl compatable with linksSQL? I am building a directory with content that may or may not have a URL? If not how may this be done?
2. How do I modify "add a link" to be called by the ID number instead of a url?
3. Can the check for duplicate be set to title instead of url?
Any insight into this would be helpful. Thanks-

Definitely not.

Huh? Don't understand your question.

You could hack the nph-verify.cgi to use the TITLE field rather than the URL field. Although I would highly recommend error checking upon submitting the resource, meaning via the ADD.CGI and MODIFY.CGI, you would add a hack to check the TITLE name before actually submitting it to the VALIDATE table. If the TITLE already exists, then the user would receive an error message.

I'm sorry, it is modify.cgi. How do I change the "Please enter the URL of the link you wish to update" to find the ID number instead. (Since some entries do not have a url)

About the hyperlink on/off mod not being compatable- could I just change the url as not required? (how/where)

add a hack to check the TITLE

Is there a hack for this? I am somewhat of a newbie.

Thanks-
