How do I use the Templates?
Can Someone please tell me how I go about calling these templates? when I just type in the URL of the templates, I get the embedding codings eg <%------%>.... I know I'm doing something wrong... If someone can just point me at the right direction, i'd appreciate it very much.....

Thanks

To use templates, you have to turn them on in links.cfg. The setting, "$build_use_templates = 1;" will do that. Then, rebuild the pages and the template files will be used as the basis for each of the pages built.

You do not load the template files yourself or even point to them. They are for internal use of the Links scripts only. All you do is include the HTML code you want Links to use in the template files.

I hope this helps.

I got it to work but the home link gives me a a bad request message.... Any Idea what that might be?

It sounds like a problem with the link path. Make sure it is specified correctly.
