manualgide

I just want to know if there is a manual gide how to proceed when you have finished to instal the link script.

It is all working but how do I edit the site so it fits my needs ??

can anyone help me.. I need to get this page done the end of this weekend and I really need some help

I assume you are referring to the guestbook. You can edit the HTML buy editing the relevant templates, the colours etc are all controlled via the styles section of the admin.

I mean the free link page..that visitors can add a link to your website.

It does not contain any template or manual.. I need to change the links provided but my page will not work then.

No manuals other than what is included with the download - Did you run a search on the forum to see if anyone else has discussed this topic before?

Yes I did and no-one else could help me..

I saw that most of the issues did not get any reply.. and some were about the first part.. but no questions about how to use the admin part.

guess I need to look to another script.. I just do not understand anything about this one.. I can not remove wrong links without losing all my links..

thanks anyone for the good help.

Sorry that's kinda the way it is with some of the scripts - some work better thans others - and since everyone here are just people who have used and like one or more of the scripts doesn't mean all the volunteer helpers have used all the scripts. Sorry 'bout that. It is probably just something that needs a little tweeking.

Magic -

If you are still around, I downloaded the Linking Script and can help you tweek it for your site.

The important factor in creating different categories to match your site is to make certain that the pages for each category keep in line with the same names as you use for the value of the category - you have to keep the ffa-pagename.html theme going but you can name the page anything you want. On that page, near the middle you see Make certain to use the same identifier as the pagename between ffa- and .html on that particular page. Each Page will have it's own ffa-pagename.html to match with 

Then, on the page where people add their link information, be sure that the value for each category matches that pagename information.

The perl script uses the ffa- and .html to track down all the pages for each category so make certain that you keep the links together in a separate directory like www.myhomepage.com/links/ so that your admin knows where to find the appropriate pages and doesn't confuse it with your other pages on your site.

The script adds the information directly onto the html pages in each category, so once you start it up, make certain to make regular backups of each page so that you have them just in case something fails - plus don't reload the originals back over the links or you will lose all your linking information.

Let me know if you still need help with this.

I ended up revamping to use SSI to clean things up. It's not a bad little script, but not the most sophisticated that I've ever used.
