Link Owner newsletter
I would like to create an e-mail that would be sent to the link owners.

Does anyone out there have a good example of the way the different <%field_name%> tags can be used to create an
e-mail with info a link owner would want to see such as # of hits to link, rating, etc....

I looked but couldn't find a listing of the different
<%field_name%> tags available for use. What file are they in?

Thanks for helping a some what newbie.

Uh...open your links.def file and all the "fields" defined in the %db_def hash can be used as TAGS in the newsletter form.

Like....

Code:

<%ID%>
<%Title%>
<%URL%>
<%Description%>
<%Contact Name%>
<%Contact Email%>
<%ReceiveEmail%>

Here's a sample email that I used to use:
<%Contact Name%>,
Thanks for being a member of the Master List. Your site, <%Title%>, has generated <%Hits%> hits from the Master List. Your website has a rating of <%Rating%> out of ten from a total of <%Votes%> votes.

Here is the current information that you have provided for your listing in the Master List:

Your Name: <%Contact Name%>
Your Email: <%Contact Email%>
URL: <%URL%>
Title: <%Title%>
Category: <%Category%>
Description: <%Description%>

If you need to make changes you can use the form located here: http://www.yoursite.com/cgi-bin/links/modify.cgi

Thanks,
