I am installing a new links due to a problem with the old one and have rung into a problem that seems to be related to the NEW & Updated Mod. This is the error I get:
Error including libraries: syntax error at D:/domains/speedo/cgi-bin/links/admin/site_html_templates.pl line 35, near "qq| |;" syntax error at D:/domains/speedo/cgi-bin/links/admin/site_html_templates.pl line 114, near ")" Make sure they exist, permissions are set properly, and paths are set correctly.

And I am including the line area that is affected:


%globals = (

Please help with this if you can!

The links to the NEW Graphics has to be out of the global settings. Put the codes before the %globals = {. The NEW graphics are NOT global variables.

Eliot,

Thanks, that almost worked. It did resolve that error but now I get:

including libraries: syntax error at D:/domains/speedo/cgi-bin/links/admin/site_html_templates.pl line 136, near "elsif"
Make sure they exist, permissions are set properly, and paths are set correctly.

Here is that section:

sub site_html_link {
# --------------------------------------------------------
# This routine is used to display what a link should look
# like.

my %rec = @_;
my $days_old;
my $new_mod_img = "";


# Set new and pop to either 1 or 0 for templates.
# The record is either New, Updated, or neither. Only a New or Updated
# graphic can be displayed for a link, but never both.
# First, check to see if the link is new. if ($rec{'isNew'} eq "Yes") {
# Calculate age of link based on Date Added, not Date Modified.
$days_old = &days_old($rec{'DateAdded'});
# Display appropriate New graphic based on age of link.
if ($days_old <= 2) { $new_mod_img = $new_1; }
elsif ($days_old <= 7) { $new_mod_img = $new_3; }
elsif ($days_old <= $db_new_cutoff) { $new_mod_img = $new_7; } }
# If the link is not new, check to see if it has been updated.
elsif (&compare_dates($rec{'Date'}, $rec{'DateAdded'})) {
# Calculate age of link based on Date Modified, not Date Added.
$days_old = &days_old($rec{'Date'});
if ($days_old <= $db_new_cutoff) { $new_mod_img = qq~ $updated~; } }

($rec{'isPopular'} eq 'Yes') ? ($rec{'isPopular'} = 1) : (delete $rec{'isPopular'});

return &load_template ('link.html', { new_mod_img => $new_mod_img,
detailed_url => "$build_detail_url/$rec{'ID'}$build_extension", %rec,
%globals });
}


Thanks again,

Kurt

Your codes are a bit messy and you seem to have an extra right bracket, which is causing the syntax error. Delete the following codes:


And replace them with the following:


Then you can add the codes for the Updated mod.

Suggestion: It is best to get one mod working, then try additional mods. One of the problems I see in your codes is that you tried to use both the Three New Graphics and Updated Mod at the same time.

Boy now I am totally confused. I copied the instructions direct from the download in the Mods. They were all in one part - can you tell me what part it is that I have to add after this - I don't see them separated in the instructions.

Thanks

Kurt

Eliot,

Thanks for your help - i figured it out, there was one line that was in the comments line and was not being read - fixed that and all is well - sometimes it just takes a rainstorm that makes me stay in the house and read!

Kurt

No problem...Glad it worked!

Eliot:


That mod IS one mod. Actually, there are three separate mods:

1. "Updated" & 3-Level "New" Modification.
2. 3-Level "NEW" Graphic Usage Modification.
3. "Updated" Graphic Usage Modification.

It looks like he was applying the first one.
