I just spent three hours reading threads from innocent people asking for help on configuring the Detail View option in Links 2.0. Most were replied to with obvious hostility because "no one ever searches the forum first". A few were helpful, but they only provided snippets of the modifications. Here is ALL you need to do:
1. Edit links.cfg and turn Detailed View on:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
# Detailed View: The script can build a single html page per link. This is
# great if you have a review in your database. To enable, you must set
# the directory where all the pages will be stored, the url to that directory
# and set the enable option.
$build_detailed = 1;
$build_detail_path = "$build_root_path/Detailed";
$build_detail_url = "$build_root_url/Detailed";
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
2. Edit site_html_templates.pl:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
### after the line "css => $build_css_url,"
### add this line:
build_detail_url => $build_detail_url,
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
3. Edit link.html and change your top line to this:
<ul><li><a href="<%build_detail_url%>/<%ID%>.html"><%Title%></a>
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
That is it. That will get the option working. I haven't yet expirimented with changing the styles of anything yet, but by following those steps you will save yourself three hours of reading bickering and exasperation!
