New UPDATE to the - 2 column link listings - mod
I'm releasing an updated version of the '2 column link listings'.
With the new version you only have to enter the number of columns you want and the mod will make columns.

No more cut and paste - just to have more columns.

Please remember this is for links listings.

It is a little annoying having to sign up for a free email address to get the mod.

I actually went through the process, but their system didn't remember the email address that I signed up for.

Couldn't get into my account to find your mods.

I assume you mean the email companys' site.
When I tried to have them email my password, they said I wasn't in the system. However when I found my password. It allowed me in.

Tell ya what, send me a private message.
With the email that you used on my mailing program, plus give me an email that I can sent to.

I went back to the email site again, but this time I signed up using Netscape, not IE. Everything worked fine. Then, just to test it, I tried to sign up for another account through IE, and again I had the same problems. So, it appears that part of the problem is the browser. Netscape works okay.

Also, when do you anticipate coming out with the other Row/Column mods that you mention on your site?

Thanks.

I got working for single page, but still need to get it working for expanded pages (page 1, page 2, ... )

check out etracks.com <- great example of what it will do.

Hi Taylor

Did you create eTracks? Do they use your column/row mod?

Also, I noticed that a default empty_cell_background.gif is used to fill empty cells. Does your mod automatically plug them into the default, or is that done manually?

BTW, which shopping cart do they use, if you know.

Thanks.

I wish I created etracks $$$...
No I have nothing to do with them execpt being on their newsletter.
I did send them several emails asking how they did this... To this day no response.
So I figured it out myself.

This is automatically done for you. However I need to put everything in the links.cfg file.
Like how many rows? How many columns? And the Defualt background picture.

If you have a wish list of features, PLEASE... let me know

One possible feature would be to allow each cell to have its own background and other characteristics like border colors, etc. I'm not sure how to work this in, but it would open some possibilities. Perhaps a separate config file or db.

Oh, BTW, will you be charging for your mods?

Thanks.

DogTags,

Different background colors for "cells" and "rows" has been provided before in this forum.

Search for widgetz $bgcolor.

Thanks, AnthroRules. I knew about some of the threads, but I wasn't sure if Taylor would have to do something different to make it work. That's why I suggested cell attributes.

Here are some of the threads for anyone who needs them:

Is it a bug or is it just me?

I applied this MOD to my script and every timeI have 10 or more links in a category It does this weird thing where it number the colum like

0 |1| 2| 3
0 |1| 2| 3
0 |1| 2| 3
0 |1| 2| 3

Is it just something Im doing wrong or is there something I can do to keep this from happenning?

Take a look at the pages yourself, you will see what I mean.

I used to use a "mod" for the image displays in the past but I actually found it easier to just create a directory somewhere on the site and to just place images named ##.gif depending on the ID number of the link.

On the template just place and image there next to the place where the title is supposed to be displayed.

something along the lines as..

<IMG SRC=http://www.yourdomain.com/imagedirectory/linkimages/<%ID%>.gif>



when the page is created the part that sais, <%ID%> will be replaced with the actual id number of the link. so it will end up looking something along the lines as

http://www.yourdomain.com/...ry/linkimages/32.gif

You can set the heith and with too but dont cause in the future some images are going to be larger than others so as to make them stand out more.

you just gotta make sure that you go to your linkimages directory and place a image named 32.gif on it, ptherwise you will get a little empty box with an X there.



You could if you want ad a new field to your database (in links.def) called pics.

But then you will have to modify all your forms to reflect the new database entry. The advantage to that method however is that your users can imput their own address to where ever the picture is on the web.

and then you could have that picture displayed on the links pages where ever you place the <%Pic%> tag.

I like your site,
I remember now that I was doing tests on one of the backups.

take out ever instance of $links .= $c_i;

that will take out the numbers

Would really like to use this mod - let me know :)
