Link To Resource Submitters Site
My website is a site that has visitors submitting their resources to me.

Is there a way that I can have a small link and their email address by each link? Kind of like a detailed review but not nearly as detailed.

It would be a description of the resource with a small "submitted by" link to their site as well as their email address also.

One thing that you can do is modify the detail.html template to include this information. I have used the detailed view for Site Reviews and it works well (except for the problem of building detailed views for all web pages and NOT all records include reviews). Anyway, you can include as many variables in the detail.html as you'd like.

Hi thanks for the info, I am not that good at modifying scrips so can anyone help me out in editing the links.html and other files?

Hi,

Eliot, the detail.html would work well, because it seems that NHLy2k doesn't have much detail to put into a very own page. I would suggest modifying the link.html page. Also, because you said that you want to add a link back to the submitter's site, you will need to add an extra field into links.def file so that the add.html page can accept the url of their site. It maybe also good to get the if then mod working so that for visitors who don't have sites won't have a url place beside their name.

I figured out how to do this. What I did was as for a return link on my submitters site. I also installed the Recipricol Link Mod.

In return for linking to my site, Links 2.0 will automatically put a small "submitted by name of submmitter of http://www.thereturnlinkhere.com

So whatever site that the submitter links my site to will in a form of a small footnote after the description of the link.

Smart eh? Smile LOL
