* I posted this in the links discussion board but it may also be relevant to a mod problem*

I am not getting any 'new links' to show up - definetly have new links but they are not building. This was happening pre and post installation of the three graphic mod for what's new (i've left out the updated portion)

i've posted my codes for a few files:

www.wheelweb.com/downloads/links_cfg.txt

www.wheelweb.com/downloads/links_def.txt

www.wheelweb.com/downloads/nph-build_cgi.txt

www.wheelweb.com/downloads/site_html_template_pl.txt

There are the files I believe are relevant - if someone could take a peak and see if there are any obvious errors causing the 'new links' graphics (or words) to not show up. (I personally believe it is the links.def file) Good Luck!

Much appreciated

Rather than adding a duplicate Thread in another forum...you should simply add a reply to your original Thread in the Discussion Forum...

I have looked over your codes, and I need more time (like other LINKS users) to debug the problem...Please give others MORE time to respond to your Thread...If you do not hear a response in a day...then add a reply to bring the Thread to the top of the Forum.

i agree elliot, all appologies as i dislike duplicates as well - however, i re-thought the problem and i believe it may be a mod problem caused by installation of another mod perhaps.

i'll try to get the forum right the first time from now on

Since it does deal with the 3 Graphics Mod, it should've originally been posted in this Forum.



Again...I need more time to look at your files...It is not readily apparent what the problem is because the codes seem to be pasted correctly in the correct spots in the files.

This may not make any difference...but I see that you have not included valid expressions in your valid expression column for the isNew field.

Try adding replacing your codes with the following:


Change the variable setting in the %add_system_fields to the following:


Also, make sure that you are using the following codes in your link.html file:


If you do not have the Enhanced Template.pm Mod installed, then you will have to have these codes on separate lines.

No go on the new code - the new links are not even building for some reason.

Wonder why?

Any other files that may tip anyone off, ask and I'll post'em

Thanks for the effort Eliot

Ah...figured out the problem! You need to change the $db_add variable in the links.def file to $db_modified.

The $db_modified is what is used to re-build the New pages and status for links. Look in your nph-build.cgi script...look for $db_add...not there, right? Welp, that is because you need to use $db_modified in your links.def.

Whoo...this took longer that usual...sorry.

wow - I don't even have a $db_add variable in the links.def file so where should i incorporate the $db_modified variable?

Opps...I meant $db_date variable! That is what you need to change to $db_modified!!!!!!

I am through helping people for awhile...I need a fiesta to restore my patience and state of mind...

Good luck, everyone...Hope oldmoney, Bmxer, and Widgetz will be around the forums to help you...I am out of here.
