I've installed the Priority & Logo Mod but now I get a idea making custom sorting for the top 10 links in each category.
I've already make a new field in admin called PriorityNo with 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 to choose from, but now I don't know how to make new entries in db_utils.pl sub build_sorthit
Can anyone help me on this?

Thanks in advanced,

What does your links.def file code look like with this modification? Or, put another way, what mods had to be performed in the links.def file?

Thanks.

Change the code to the following:

Nuno,

Thank you very much!!

Hi,
I installed this mod and nothing happened.
No errors, no changes at links listings.

I was reviewing all the code and I have only found a little differences between mod code and mine.
do you think that could be the problem?
here is an example:

sub build_sorthit
-----posted mode code----
($iscool{$a} and !$iscool{$b}) and return -1; ($priorityno{$a} and $priorityno{$b}) and return $priorityno{$b} <=> $priorityno{$a}; ($priority{$a} and $priority{$b}) and return $sortby{$b} <=> $sortby{$a}; ($isnew{$a} and $isnew{$b}) and return $sortby{$b} <=> $sortby{$a};

----my code-----
($iscool{$a} and !$iscool{$b}) and return -1;
($priorityno{$a} and $priorityno{$b}) and return $priorityno{$b} <=> $priorityno{$a};
($priority{$a} and $priority{$b}) and return lc($sortby{$a}) cmp lc($sortby{$b});
($isnew{$a} and $isnew{$b}) and return lc($sortby{$a}) cmp lc($sortby{$b});

note the lc

Hi there,

I really need I little help on this...
the mod it is working but just sort new links in order,
for links already in DB just give priority and not the specific place.
Any ideas? thank you.

Hello again.

I have amended the code, and it should work.

Try this: -

Great mod but it does not display properly when using netscape 4.7

It displays rectangular box next to the links which do not have an image assigned to them.

This really me

I think you have replied to the wrong person.

My part of this just deals with the sorting routine - nothing to do with images or the display.

Hope this will avoid any confusion.

Has anyone ever managed to get this to work succesfully? If so, can you assist me further?
