hits in one database not multiple files
This is just an ideea. I am a newbie in Perl so i don`t want to make a mess. If someone has allready done this modification , please post it here so i can use it too.

Its quite cool to have hits in one database and not multiple files, huh?

Btw : if you know from where can i get a mod that is used as "my favourite links" please tell me.



Thanks

Perhaps it's just me, but I am not quite sure what you mean.

As for the second modification you are looking for: Philip/Drew/Junko/King Junko II has written a Portal links modification. His site will soon be up again.

You forgot ThatPerson1024 Crazy

Yeah, Paul said the server should be ready today or tomorrow, so I reckon the site will be up by the end of the week.

Oh, and the hits/ratings are done in seperate files like that to keep speed optimal. Imagine having a database of 6000 links and having to traverse through the entire database thousands of times a day just to increase a single number. With the files broken up, you only have to deal with tiny files. The load from performing searches is already pretty bad, so combining the files would only cause more slowdowna.

I think I may have repeated myself a couple times there but I hope you get the point.
