Structured extended reviews in Links SQL
Hello ...

I have started working on a new project which I hope will
incorporate Links or Links SQL -- if I can make it fit.

Features of the new project include:

1. Category editors.

2. Must include detailed reviews in a standard HTML template -
All links will have reviews which have the same format and
structure, each about 1000 words with the same headings, etc.

3. Multiple categories.

4. Pages should be static, generated by cron.

The most important requirement is the third.
The database will have relatively few links.

Could I do this in Links SQL?

I hope so, because I have got used to Links 2.0,
and have a good appreciation of its strengths.

Alternatively - is there any way I could use DBMan
SQL to generate static pages?

Links SQL can do what Links 2.0 can and much, much more. Tour the various sites to see what people have done with it.

1. Yes -- in a limited fashion, this will be enhanced/improved in next version.
2. If it's an admin review, then yes. If it's user based reviews, then no.
3. Yes
4. Yes.

Hope that helps,

Alex
