Hello.

First of all, I must say Links 2 is really genius script. Many thanks to it's developers.

And now my question goes.

Does anybody know, is there a way to place commas, dots etc. in Category names? I know it's impossible in a "Links Classic" version. But may be someone fixed this disadvantage.

Thank you.

Take a look at the NonEnglish Mod in the Resource Center, it allows you to include special characters in category names.

Thank you, Thomas1

This mod works just fine, at least at the first look.

Just one problem remains. I use Alt Categories Mod and, Matthias Berndt's Non English mod doesn't deal with it. I think, I need to change just a couple of lines in site_html_templates.mod, but don't know how to write them.

Here are changes made by Non English mod in site_html_templates.pl:

"Classic code":

my $category = &build_select_field

Changes:

# ***************************************** nonenglish modification - begin ****************
my ($kategorie) = &kategorie_title_mb ($category);
$category ?
($category = qq~$kategorie <input type=hidden name="Category" value="$category">~) :
($category = &build_select_field ("Category", "$in{'Category'}"));
# ***************************************** nonenglish modification - end ******************

And now new strings from Alt Categories Mod:

my $altcategories = &build_select_field ("AltCategories","$in{'AltCategories'}","AltCategories","MULTIPLE Size=15");


How should I change them to combine with Non English Mod?
Have anybody met this problem before?

Thanks again.
