Hi Andy,
It's me from that f2s site you attempted to install links2 on a couple of weeks ago... im on a new host now... The problem im having is that it can't find the whats new or whats cool or top rated sections.... i may have the paths wrong for those sections but im not too sure where i am meant to be directing them to..

They are built within the pages directory by default so where ever your category pages are built, they should be within that directory if you didn't alter the paths in links.cfg.

hi and thanks...
there seems to be some html file with a name of the date...
would that have anything to do with it?

Thats whats meant to happen.

I don't understand what the problem is though.

Just go to the main index page and click "whats new".

ok then... im on the right track...
the whats new link must be wrong...
what do i link to?
sorry for the dumb questions...

It should be done automatically whenever you change it in links.cfg

Show us what you have in links.cfg please.

Ok basically you should have left the New/Cool/Ratings URL pretty much as they were.

Change them to.....

Thanks heaps,
I am getting somewhere now...
I think i also need to edit the templates as the links are going to directories with Capitals when it should be all lowercase... I can access the pages from the build report page fine though so i shall just play around with the templates now i think... thanks again.... awesome service...

Hi, no problem.....

If the links are capital then just change the paths I gave you from new cool ratings to New Cool Ratings
