Detailed Pages
Hi All,

verytime I have used links or SQL i have never reuired the detailed pages, I have a project comming up shortly that will require this and just want something cleared up.

Can i specify the informaiton to be displayed in the directory, ie name, picture, etc, then display other information relevant to the link in the detailed pages?

I presume that this is what the detailed pages does.



Regards

Yes...that is exactly what the Detailed Pages does. There are quite a few Threads in the Links 2.0 Customization and Links 2.0 Discussion forums that discuss Detailed pages in more detail. Smile

Basically any of the fields you have in the Links table can be used as a tags in the category pages or in the detailed pages. However, if you include a link to the Category where the link is located, you will need to use the sub get_category_name to translate the CategoryID field into the category name. Use the same codes in the add.cgi in the sub site_html_detailed routine in the HTML_Templates.pm file.

Regards,

Cheers Eliot,

I thought as much, but i didnt want to say to the client that this is what it does if it didnt,

I'll keep you all posted on the site details when it's up and running, so you can all have a look. It's going to be a holiday directory of hotels and attraction in the UK & Ireland. You can see the preview i did for the site at http://www.isee-multimedia.co.uk/holiday/frames
