- If i don't use d=1 then it also works but what does it do, should i use it or not ?
d stands for dynamic and 1 means to turn it on. It is my understanding that it is used to pull user data and other dynamic information into web pages within your directory when you use page.cgi.

- Now i don't use jump.cgi, but i wanna use the hits counter (in database links) if a dynamic detailed page is viewed. What is the best way to do this ? Does jump.cgi call page.cgi somehow ?
Actually, it is the opposite. Page.cgi calls jump.cgi when you click on links. What you should do is use jump.cgi to update Hits for your detailed pages and change the $goto redirection codes in jump.cgi to go to the detailed pages. This has been discussed before in this forum and also in the Links 2.0 Customization forum where you can port codes into Links SQL.

- Why don't i have to use the variable <%db_cgi_url%> in the link.html like Alex told (see url below), if i use the variable it won't work, is this because the fix i use or something else ?
It should work. Have you inadvertantly deleted the hash defintion for db_cgi_url in your %GLOBALS hash in the HTML_Templates.pm file.

You should see:

Code:

db_cgi_url => $LINKS{db_cgi_url},
