hi thank you for your response...i searched thru the mod section and it just got me more confused...

i see that there's a detailed template but my question is...once i've added a link myself into a category using the admin page..how do i then create a detailed page for that link? do i have to modified the code to do this?

thank you
frank

The detailed pages are generated for ALL web pages. All you have to do is add a link to it in the following manner:


I don't understand your confusion. Detailed pages can be used for many purposes...the best being in my opinion is Site Reviews.

I would recommend reading the Thread about adding a field called isDetailed, which will reduce the number of detailed pages in your directory.

If you have a large directory (4,000+) links with detailed pages, your disk space will soon be used up quickly and also building these pages will take forever.

Just a friendly suggestion though.

I REALLY hope this helps.

hi thank you so much for your help but i think im still missing something...something obvious im sure...

so when i add a link to a category, the program generates a detailed page for that particular link? if so my questions are:
1) how do i edit the detailed page for that link? for instance, if one of my links is dogs in the animals category and i want to add a picture of a dog in the detailed page for the dog link, how would i go about doing this?
2) once i've edited the detailed page, how do i get it to show up next to the associated link in the directory?
3) the code you gave me above, where would i add that in my page? which page?

thank you once again, as you can tell im a newbie trying to learn as i go...
