It was very easy, but my links 2.0 is very "messed up", so I hope this will helpfull someone with a more original links 2.0.

First in build_update_ratings in nph-build.cgi, I changed the line in which the rating is formated by sprintf from

Code:

$values[$db_rating] = sprintf("%.2f", $values[$db_rating]);

(the original line looked something like this, I doesn't kept the "old" code) to

Code:

$values[$db_rating] = $values[$db_rating];

(Yes, this is senseless, in fact...)

And in site_html_templates.pl, I changed site_html_link like this:

Code:

return &load_template ('link.html', {
detailed_url => "$db_detailed_url/$rec{'ID'}$build_extension",
new_img => $new_img,
%rec,
%globals,
Rating => sprintf ("%.2f", $rec{Rating})
});

(Shure, you have to finde all the other places where you use the ratings-value too, and change it too!)

That's all! (It's not very clever done, you have to change all places you output the value, but it was the easiest way to me. Perhabs it would be better to add a second ratings-field to the db, and store the unformated rating in it, and using the old one only for output?)
