Quick Question re: Detailed View
Ok,

How can I view the detailed view? I see the detailed.html page and have edited it, but I don't see any links that take me to a detailed view.

Thanks

Uh...if you have built detailed pages, all you have to do is add the following link in your link.html:

Code:
<a href="<%build_detailed_url%>/<%ID%><%build_extension%>">Detailed View</a>

Make sure that you have the following tags defined in your global variables:

Code:
build_detailed_url => $build_detailed_url,
build_extension => $build_extension,

BTW: To conserve disk space and to create dynamic detailed pages, you should consider using Widgetz's detail.cgi script, which can be downloaded at the following URL:


Then you can link the detailed pages using this script in the following manner:

Code:
<a href="<%db_cgi_url%>/detail.cgi?ID=<%ID%>">Detailed View</a>

BTW: This has been discussed numerous times in this Forum and the LINKS Discussion Forum. AND there is a FAQ about detailed pages in the FAQ section of LINKS 2.0 in the Resource Center. Please search the Resource Center and Forums before posting questions.

Thanks.

Hope this helps.

Thanks..

I am definitely clueless with this software, so I apologize for being redundant with my question. Being a veteran UBB'er, I should have known to search before I ask. Smile

Either way, I do appreciate your help in making this addition to my website a memorable experience.
