Hi everyone,

Can anyone help me on this? I would like my link's link in true URL instead of using "jump.cgi". How can I do that?


Leslie

In your link.html template replace:
<a href="<%db_cgi_url%>/jump.cgi?ID=<%ID%>"><%Title%></a>

With: <a href="<%URL%>"><%Title%></a>


That should do it

You just beat me to it... You can also use JavaScript onMouseOver's to display the true URL in the status bar, while maintaining the jump.cgi link. The problem with bypassing jump.cgi is that you will not be able to track hits.

What hits? How can I check the hits?


Leslie

Every time someone clicks on a link (which is directed through jump.cgi by default) the program records that as a hit. That's what qualifies links for the Cool/Popular page.

The hits should be displayed with each link in the built pages, unless you have removed it from the link.html template.

Hi there,

How can I use JavaScript? Please give me some hints, I'm not familier with JS


Leslie

<a href="<%db_cgi_url%>/jump.cgi?ID=<%ID%>" onMouseOver="window.status='<%URL%>';return true" onMouseOut="window.status=' ';return true"><%Title%></a>

Replace the current <a href=""></a> in link.html and you will see the real URL in the status bar but not lose hit tracking.
