Here is what I came up with for the mod.
Well here goes, this is the first time I've tried to explain these things:
in the links.def :
find:
# Definition of your database file.
%db_def = (
ID => [0, 'numer', 5, 8, 1, '', ''],
Title => [1, 'alpha', 40, 75, 1, '', ''],
URL => [2, 'alpha', 40, 75, 1, 'http://', '^http|news|mailto|ftp'],
Date => [3, 'date', 15, 15, 1, \&get_date, ''],
Category => [4, 'alpha', 0, 150, 1, '', ''],
AltCategories => [5, 'alpha', 0, 500, 0, '', ''],
Description => [6, 'alpha', '40x3', 500, 0, '', ''],
'Contact Name' => [7, 'alpha', 40, 75, 1, '', ''],
'Contact Email' => [8, 'alpha', 40, 75, 1, '', '.+@.+\..+'],
Hits => [9, 'numer', 10, 10, 1, '0', '\d+'],
isNew => [10, 'alpha', 0, 5, 0, 'No', ''],
isPopular => [11, 'alpha', 0, 5, 0, 'No', ''],
Rating => [12, 'numer', 10, 10, 1, 0, '^[\d\.]+$'],
Votes => [13, 'numer', 10, 10, 1, 0, '^\d+$'],
ReceiveMail => [14, 'alpha', 10, 10, 1, 'Yes', 'No|Yes']
);
and replace with:
# Definition of your database file.
%db_def = (
ID => [0, 'numer', 5, 8, 1, '', ''],
Title => [1, 'alpha', 40, 75, 1, '', ''],
URL => [2, 'alpha', 40, 75, 1, 'http://', '^http|news|mailto|ftp'],
Date => [3, 'date', 15, 15, 1, \&get_date, ''],
Category => [4, 'alpha', 0, 150, 1, '', ''],
AltCategories => [5, 'alpha', 0, 500, 0, '', ''],
Description => [6, 'alpha', '40x3', 500, 0, '', ''],
'Contact Name' => [7, 'alpha', 40, 75, 1, '', ''],
'Contact Email' => [8, 'alpha', 40, 75, 1, '', '.+@.+\..+'],
Hits => [9, 'numer', 10, 10, 1, '0', '\d+'],
isNew => [10, 'alpha', 0, 5, 0, 'No', ''],
isPopular => [11, 'alpha', 0, 5, 0, 'No', ''],
Rating => [12, 'numer', 10, 10, 1, 0, '^[\d\.]+$'],
Votes => [13, 'numer', 10, 10, 1, 0, '^\d+$'],
ReceiveMail => [14, 'alpha', 10, 10, 1, 'Yes', 'No|Yes'],
Graphic => [15, 'alpha', 40, 75, 0, '', ''],
Priority => [16, 'alpha', 0, 5, 1, 'No', 'No|Yes']
);
Next find:
# where the first field equals 0.
$db_alt = 5;
$db_category = 4; $db_modified = 3; $db_url = 2;
$db_hits = 9; $db_isnew = 10; $db_ispop = 11;
$db_contact_name = 7; $db_contact_email = 8; $db_title = 1;
$db_votes = 13; $db_rating = 12; $db_mail = 14;
And replace with:
# where the first field equals 0.
$db_alt = 5; $db_priority = 16;
$db_category = 4; $db_modified = 3; $db_url = 2;
$db_hits = 9; $db_isnew = 10; $db_ispop = 11;
$db_contact_name = 7; $db_contact_email = 8; $db_title = 1;
$db_votes = 13; $db_rating = 12; $db_mail = 14;
Next find:
# System defaults. When adding new links or modifying links, these fields
# can not be overwritten by a user.
%add_system_fields = (
isNew => 'No',
isPopular => 'No',
Hits => '0',
Rating => 0,
Votes => 0,
ReceiveMail => 'Yes'
);
And replace with:

# can not be overwritten by a user.
%add_system_fields = (
isNew => 'No',
isPopular => 'No',
Priority => 'No',
Hits => '0',
Rating => 0,
Votes => 0,
ReceiveMail => 'Yes'
);
Next find:
# Hash of column names to possible options. If you want to use a select form
# field, you can use &build_select_field in your HTML page. This routine will
# make a <SELECT> input tag using the following values:
%db_select_fields = (
isNew => 'Yes,No',
isPopular => 'Yes,No',
ReceiveMail => 'Yes,No'
);
And replace with:

%db_select_fields = (
isNew => 'Yes,No',
isPopular => 'Yes,No',
ReceiveMail => 'Yes,No',
Priority => 'Yes,No'
);
Now we go to db.utils
And find:
sub build_sorthit {
# --------------------------------------------------------
# This function sorts a list of links. It has been modified to sort
# new links first, then cool links, then the rest alphabetically. By modifying
# the sort function below, you can sort the links however you like (by date,
# or random, etc.).
#
my (@unsorted) = @_;
my ($num) = ($#unsorted+1) / ($#db_cols+1);
my (%sortby, %isnew, %iscool, $hit, $i, @sorted);
for ($i = 0; $i < $num; $i++) {
$sortby{$i} = $unsorted[$db_sort_links + ($i * ($#db_cols+1))];
($unsorted[$db_isnew + ($i * ($#db_cols+1))] eq "Yes") and ($isnew{$i} = 1);
($unsorted[$db_ispop + ($i * ($#db_cols+1))] eq "Yes") and ($iscool{$i} = 1);
}
foreach $hit (sort {
($isnew{$b} and !$isnew{$a}) and return 1;
($isnew{$a} and !$isnew{$b}) and return -1;
($iscool{$b} and !$iscool{$a}) and return 1;
($iscool{$a} and !$iscool{$b}) and return -1;
($isnew{$a} and $isnew{$b}) and return lc($sortby{$a}) cmp lc($sortby{$b});
($iscool{$a} and $iscool{$b}) and return lc($sortby{$a}) cmp lc($sortby{$b});
return lc($sortby{$a}) cmp lc($sortby{$b});
} (keys %sortby)) {
$first = ($hit * $#db_cols) + $hit;
$last = ($hit * $#db_cols) + $#db_cols + $hit;
push (@sorted, @unsorted[$first .. $last]);
}
return @sorted;
}
And replace with:
sub build_sorthit {
# --------------------------------------------------------

my (@unsorted) = @_;
my ($num) = ($#unsorted+1) / ($#db_cols+1);
my (%sortby, %priority, %isnew, %iscool, $hit, $i, @sorted);
for ($i = 0; $i < $num; $i++) {
$sortby{$i} = $unsorted[$db_sort_links + ($i * ($#db_cols+1))];
($unsorted[$db_priority + ($i * ($#db_cols+1))] eq "Yes") and ($priority{$i} = 1);
($unsorted[$db_isnew + ($i * ($#db_cols+1))] eq "Yes") and ($isnew{$i} = 1);
($unsorted[$db_ispop + ($i * ($#db_cols+1))] eq "Yes") and ($iscool{$i} = 1);
}
foreach $hit (sort {
($priority{$b} and !$priority{$a}) and return 1;
($priority{$a} and !$priority{$b}) and return -1;
($isnew{$b} and !$isnew{$a}) and return 1;
($isnew{$a} and !$isnew{$b}) and return -1;
($iscool{$b} and !$iscool{$a}) and return 1;
($iscool{$a} and !$iscool{$b}) and return -1;
($priority{$a} and $priority{$b}) and return lc($sortby{$a}) cmp lc($sortby{$b});
($isnew{$a} and $isnew{$b}) and return lc($sortby{$a}) cmp lc($sortby{$b});
($iscool{$a} and $iscool{$b}) and return lc($sortby{$a}) cmp lc($sortby{$b});
return lc($sortby{$a}) cmp lc($sortby{$b});
} (keys %sortby)) {
$first = ($hit * $#db_cols) + $hit;
$last = ($hit * $#db_cols) + $#db_cols + $hit;
push (@sorted, @unsorted[$first .. $last]);
}
return @sorted;
}
And finally:
In link.html
Place this whereever you want the logo to appear:
<%if Graphic%>
<a href="<%db_cgi_url%>/jump.cgi?ID=<%ID%>" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.concepts2000.com/Images/Logolinks/<%Graphic%>" border="0"></a>
<%endif%>
That should be it. Sorry about the lack indent. I would also appreciate everybody helping me with content and add your site to our site.
Thanx,
