Indent on Links
Greetings All!

Code:
# Then we print out the name linked, new if it's new, and popular if its popular.
$output .= qq|<dl><dt><font face="Verdana, Helevtica, " size=-1><strong><a class="link" href="$url">$category_name</a></strong> <small class="numlinks">($numlinks)</small> |;
$output .= qq|<small><sup class="new">new</sup></small>| if (&days_old($mod) < $db_new_cutoff);
$output .= qq|</dt>|;
$output .= qq|<span class="descript">$description </span>| if (!($description =~ /^[\s\n]*$/));
$output .= qq|</dl>|;
}

That is from my site.template.html.pl ..What I wish to do is take away the indent on all the links..

dd has been removed, what else do i have to do..

Also I would like to put the links in two tables. The date added etc etc in one and the actual link and description in another.

Hello Ian,

You have to edit your link.html template file to take out the indents. I believe that you downloaded and installed the Snap.com template. Edit the link.html and see what happens.

Hi there Elliot!

Code:
<head>
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 4.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
</head>

<font face="arial size=" 2"><a class="link" href="<%db_cgi_url%>/jump.cgi?ID=<%ID%>" target="_blank"><img src="/images/list.gif" border="0" width="16" height="18"> <%Title%></a></font>

<%if Description%><font face="arial size=" 2">- <%Description%> - </font>
<%endif%>

<%if isNew%>
<%new_img%>
<%endif%>

<%if is Popular%><font face="arial size=" 2">pop</font>
<%endif%>

<font face="arial size=" 2">(Added: <%Date%> Hits: <%Hits%> Rating: <%Rating%>
Votes: <%Votes%> ) <a href="<%db_cgi_url%>/rate.cgi?ID=<%ID%>">[Rate It]</a></font>

Nothing in the link.html that indents the links on the pages...

I tired putting a table(s) here and all I did was muck the whole thing up quite badly..

Ian,

All you have to do is add indenting codes (like definition list <dl><dt><dd></dd></dl> ) around the link codes, like the following:

Code:
<dl>
<dt><li>
<font face="arial size=" 2"><a class="link" href="<%db_cgi_url%>/jump.cgi?ID=<%ID%>" target="_blank"><img src="/images/list.gif" border="0" width="16" height="18"> <%Title%></a></font>
<%if Description%>
<font face="arial size=" 2">-
<%Description%>
- </font>
<%endif%>
<%if isNew%>
<%new_img%>
<%endif%>
<%if is Popular%>
<font face="arial size="2">pop</font>
<%endif%>
<font face="arial size=" 2">(Added: <%Date%> Hits: <%Hits%> Rating: <%Rating%> Votes: <%Votes%> )
<a href="<%db_cgi_url%>/rate.cgi?ID=<%ID%>">[Rate It]</a></font>
</dl>

If this still does not make any sense, check out my directory and also my link,html file:

Code:
www.anthrotech.com/cgibin/wwwvl/templates/link.html

You will notice that the description and additional information are INDENTED. (You can include the link as part of the indented text.)

Smile

Hope this helps.
