How does Links sort the results? How can I hilight "top 3" sites in category like AV?
Newbie installing Links to http://camcities.com/

I'd like to know how does Links exactly sorts the results.

And also, (as seen on Altavista) a way to make a Top 3 sites appear ALWAYS on top of a search result and/or if some1 clicks on NorthAmerica->USA->California, display top 3 sites selected by me, always the same ones in the same order, and after that, the rest of the sites.

How could I achieve that?

Thanks!

I can answer this part:

In db_utils.pl, you will find this:

Quote:
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.).

I hope this helps.

Bobsie,


Thank you for this answer and all of the rest you've made recently to me.


Let's see if someone else can answer my second question. Anyone?

Thanks!
