Hello,

Every once in a while when I build, Links marks the entire database as new links. Why?

What number have you used to configure the $db_new_cutoff variable in the links.cfg file?

Have you added new fields in your links.def without updating your links.db file?

Have you added any Modifications like the Three New Graphics Mod?

Regards,

Eliot Lee

Hi eliot,

1) I used number 14
2) No
3) I added a seach this category mod, is about all.

Well, the problem is probably related to the "Modified" option for links. When people modify their links, the date changes and the NEW ranking is associated with it.

I have done the following to reduce confusion about this:

1) Added hidden fields in my modify.cgi file:



2) Then I deleted the following codes in the modify.cgi file:



3) Then I also added the following codes in the ­d_system_fields hash:



BTW: IF this is the source of your problems...then you can do what I did or download the Update Mod located in the Resource Center that will keep the added date and modified date in your links.db file.
