Hi Everyone!
I tried to install Bob Connors mod (Multiple Category Templates With Links v2.0) and when I built the site into the admin control panel (Build All) everything seemed to work fine.
When I checked the categories, I saw that Links 2 didn't use the new templates I designed for each category.

I try to paste you how I modified the site_html_templates.pl according the tutorial published by Bob on his mod (you could find it here):

1) In site_html_templates pl, sub site_html_category I added:
my $template;
# Set the appropriate template file to load
if ($category_name =~ /^Amateurs/) {
$template = "cat1.html"; }
elsif ($category_name =~ /^Babes/) {
$template = "cat2.html"; }
elsif ($category_name =~ /^Ebony/) {
$template = "cat3.html"; }
elsif ($category_name =~ /^Latina/) {
$template = "cat4.html"; }
elsif ($category_name =~ /^Mature/) {
$template = "cat5.html"; }
elsif ($category_name =~ /^Asian/) {
$template = "cat6.html"; }
elsif ($category_name =~ /^Teens/) {
$template = "cat7.html"; }
else { $template = "category.html"; }

2) I modified:
return &load_template ( 'category.html', {
with
return &load_template ( $template, {

The script still builds each category using the default category.html and even if I deleted it from the directory Links still perstist in it's using.
What am I doing wrong ?

thanks in advance for any reply and please excuse my poor english.

I also noticed that Links 2 uses my specific category templates only partially.
I see the design background or logo and some more elements but something is missing:
for example: in the templates I designed I wrote texts that do not appear in the site after the Build All process (for each category template I put a number in order to try the mod and see if Links creats effectively different categories using different templates).

thanks again
Francesco

Are the category names you used in the mod some of your top-level categories? If they are subcats, you need to re-read the instructions, and make sure you entered the names correctly. Without seeing your site, it is hard to troubleshoot...
