More links - HELP
I would like to add more "$feature links" and "$special links" it their respective section. I edit template.cfg adding more options. I then ran build all but not changes took effect. FYI, currently using the yahoo templates.

Thanks in advance.

You also have to add fields to the links.def file and then add those fields to your existing database.

Coming from a newee, I may be wrong but here what I think you need to...

In you admi directory...

1. Go to your site_html_templates.pl, at the top is a list of variables there you can add more of -in your case- links.

for example:
link1 => $link1,
link1_url => $link1_url,
etc, etc

2. Now go to templates cfg and give values to your variables:

$link1 = 'New Site.Com';
$link1_url = 'http://www.newsite.com';

3. Now go to your templates.cfg and edit lets say your home page...

New Link
Try this new site <a href="<%link1_url%>"><%link1%><a/>

4. finally, if you ever want to update those links, all you have to do is go back to templates.cfg and change the values, once you rebuild the site, everything should update "on its own"

If understood your question, that should do it. If not, I leave it to the experts. by//

ps: It worked for me, I never touched the links.def file ??? Also I'm not using the yahoo templates, but did study them to build mine. Adios !!
