AAARGH HELP NOW PLEASE!
Okay this is my problem.. I installed my script at http://search4roots.virtualave.net you can find my admin area at http://search4roots.virtualave.net/cgi-bin/links/admin/admin.cgi I didnt password protect it yet until I can get this thing running. Now, I have everything working, generating page etc..except....
For some reason when I add any links to the database it doesn't show them in their category pages.. I downloaded Slick Links Template - No Style Sheets! By: Neil Glazer I don't understand why nothing will show? Please email me directly if you can fix this error or if you know what the problem is.

Okay...Common problem to check for and fix...

Make sure that in the category.html file that you have tags, like <%site_title%>, on separate lines....like:

Code:
<%if links%>
<%links%>
<%endif%>

I did everything you told me to to check my variables in my templates pages...but still none of the links are showing..go to http://search4roots.virtualave.net click on a category that shows that there are some links in it, then you'll see, it shows to rate and thats it..no link with description. I can't figure out why this wont work... If anyone can figure this problem out, send me a message.

Okay..same problem, but different template file...You need to make sure that you have tags in the link.html file on SEPARATE lines....

Like the following:

Code:
<a href="<%db_cgi_url%>/jump.cgi?ID=<%ID%>">
<%Title%></a>

AND

Code:
<%if Description%>
<%Description%>
<%endif%>

Can you be more demanding?

BTW: I am starting to ignore Topics like these. Wink

Are you saying that I need to check all of my html template files and make sure that those codes are on their own lines? This would mean that I would have to edit every single one. If that be the case, then we could only use an html editor such as note pad etc. and not use frontpage at all right? I appreciate your help, and sorry if I sound demanding, but after as much time as I spent on this, It is only normal to get frustrated.

Well, the other solution is to download the Enhanced Template.pm codes that are located in the LINKS2.0: Modification section of the Resource Center...then it doesn't matter if the tags are on their own line or not.

REALLY hope this helps. I empathesize with your frustrations...however, demanding people to assist you is less effective than titling your Topics something like "Problem with Slick Links Template: No Links Show". AND since you are using a Mod, the better Forum to post this type of question is in the LINKS MODIFICATION FORUM.

Best of luck!
