New links in the first page
Hey guys,

I want the new links added to be shown on the first page of my LINKS 2 . let's say in a separate table column. And I need the names of the links along with there dates (the last ten days). Can any one do this for me? P.S. I am using the non-english MOD, so I need the non-english names of the links to be shown.

You have to define the LastLink tag in the sub site_html_home routine in the site_html_templates.pl file, like the following:

Code:
LastLink => $lastlink,

Make sure you use the appropriate case settings for this tag definition.

And you installed the other Last Link codes in the sub build_home_page in the nph-build.cgi file???

If so, and you are using the tag definition I gave you with the <%LastLink%> tag in your home.html, I don't know what to tell you.

Best of luck!

No...I do not want to try editing your files for you!

Here is a checklist, which is an abbreviated version of the Mods Instructions....

1) Make sure that you have added the following codes in the sub build_home_page routine in the nph-build.cgi file:

Code:
my $LASTX = 6;
open (DB, "<$db_file_name") or &cgierr("unable to open database:$db_file_name.\nReason: $!");
my @lines = <DB>;
close DB;
for ($i=$#lines; $i>=$#lines - $LASTX; $i--) {
chomp $lines[$i];
@tmp = &split_decode ($lines[$i]);
%tmp = &array_to_hash (0, @tmp);
$lastlink .= &site_html_link (%tmp);
}

AFTER the following line of codes:

Code:
print "\tOpening page: $build_root_path/$build_index\n";

2) Then in your site_html_templates.pl file in the sub site_html_home routine add the following tag definition:

Code:
LastLink => $lastlink,

3) Then in your home.html, make sure that you have the following tag:

Code:
<%LastLink%>
