Good Day,

forgive me if this topic has already been covered, but in my searching I have been unable to come across it. For Links Version 2.0, Widgetz made a modification that allowed for sub categories for Top Level categories to be displayed as links below. Is there anyway that a similar effect can be done on Links SQL?

Thanks in advance,

Read the following Thread:

There seems to be no solution at this time.

Basically, what you need to do is add SQL queries to retrieve the appropriate subcategories. You need to place these queries into nph-build.cgi. So, suppose you want the categories listing to have access to the subcategories.. you would need to add the query:

#this gets all the subcategories containing 'Software'
my($sof, $software, $this_sof, $software_cat); #for the software category listing
THen you just add into the %OUT hash

$software ? ($OUT{software_cat} = &site_html_print_cat ($software)) : ($OUT{software_cat} = '');

now you can use the <%software_cat%> global variable in your categories template.. the variable will contain all the subcategories in the 'Software' category. Hope that helps.
