Help! Ommission of URLs from Links
Hi,

For my Links database, I will be using the details pages instead of pointing to a URL (i.e. I will have no true links). As far as fields for my database, I will have no need for URL information or anything related to checking URLs or jumping to URLs. Do you know if it is easy to remove the URL part of a Links database?

Thanks,
Avern

The best way to handle this is to make the URL field optional (change the "1" to "0" in links.def). Then either use info.cgi to dynamicly create the details pages (info.cgi?ID=XXX) or turn on and link to the details directory (&lt%build_root_url%>/Details/xxx.html). I have provided codes in the past to have your links' Details page built in a Details directory UNDER the category where they belong, instead of all (5,000+) details pages in the same directory.
