I set the links.cfg script to use detailed pages. Now how can I link the listings where there should be http:// straight to those details pages for each listing?

If you searched for Detailed Pages, you would've found quite a few Threads that provide explanations and codes for doing this....

Anyway...as mentioned before...

You add the following link codes in your link.html file:



Make sure that you have defined build_extension as a global variable in the %globals hash in the site_html_templates.pl file, like the following:

I did that exactly as you said, but after I "Build All", when I go to the listing on my site, I get the following error:

Unkown Tag: build_detail_url

Also, what do I put when it asks me for the listing's URL in my Admin panel?

Nevermind, I was able to detect where the problem was. Thanks for all your help, it worked like a charm.

All though this is off topic, but I need help with the non-english characters. I installed the mod for version 2 but I'm still not able to have a "-" or a "&" in my category names. Can you help please?

I want the link go straight to the details pages. I followed exactly Eliot Lee's instructions. But when I built and run the program, I got error message

Unkown Tag: build_detail_url

Please help

Right...and you need to have the following global variable defined:



Remember that if this is your last global variable in the %globals hash, then you need to add a comma at the end of the precedding line.

Also, you could simply use the following link:



HOWEVER, if you change the Detailed directory or build_extension, then you will have to continually edit the link.html to update the correct directory and extension...that is why defining global variables is MUCH easier and more manageable in the long-term.

It works.

Thanks Eliot

Good.

The Detailed Page works perfectly, but not the jump.cgi.
If I leave "http://" in the URL field, it jumps to Detailed page OK.
But, if I remove "http://" in the URL field, it shows error

Error: Can't find link id: (ID#)

I set URL field optional. I don't want to display "http://" in the Detailed page, if the link does not have a website.

Any way to fix this problem? Please help

Thanks

Download and install the isLinked Mod located in the Resource Center (click on Resources link at the top of the forum web pages).

My detailed pages are built fine but when I try to add this to my link.html file:

<a href="<%build_detail_url%>/<%ID%><%build_extension%>">info</a>

I redceived a build extension error as described above. I then added the build_extension => $build_extension to the globals section at the top of the site_html_templates.pl and received the following error:

Error including libraries: syntax error at /web1/tr100538/cgi-bin/links/admin/site_html_templates.pl line 40, near "$build_extension site_title" Compilation failed in require at /web1/tr100538/cgi-bin/links/admin/nph-build.cgi line 33. Make sure they exist, permissions are set properly, and paths are set correctly.

Any help would be appreciated.

Okay...I changed the build extension variable to:
build_detail_url => $build_detail_url in the globals section and now I receive the following error whrn I try to view links:

Unkown Tag: build_extensionUnkown

You need to have commas AFTER each of the values you add in the GLOBAL HASH (as stated quite a few times in these forums) EXCEPT for the last value....

EXAMPLE:



See the commas??? If not, then look again at the bolded blue codes.

I have it working now....

I simply added the following to the globals:

build_extension => $build_extension,
build_detail_url => $build_detail_url
