LINK TEMPLATES

The file linktemp.inc is the default link template file.

If you would like to redesign it simply create an HTML table with all the information you want and insert the following variables in where they belong:

Preliminary Code:
This code must be inserted in the beginning of the link template.

' You may edit the following few lines to suit your needs..
'Search Highlight Color
hcolor  = "#FFFF00"

'HTML for New, Popular, and HOT tags Tag
newHTML = " NEW "
popHTML = " Pop "
hotHTML = " HOT "

'--------------------- Do not edit code beyond this line -------------------------------
ltcurlinkid = linkRec(Links_linkid)
myTitle = linkRec(Links_title)
myDesc  = linkRec("description")

if navfunc = "search" then
	myTitle = highlight(myTitle, words, wCount, hcolor)
	myDesc = highlight(myDesc, words, wCount, hcolor)
end if
tagHTML = ""
if (date - linkRec(Links_datein)) < newcutoff then
	tagHTML = newHTML
end if 
if linkRec(Links_popular) = myTrue then
	tagHTML = tagHTML & popHTML
end if
if linkRec("hits") >= whhits AND linkRec("rating") >= whrating then
	tagHTML = tagHTML & hotHTML
end if

Code Modifications:
You may modify the first few lines of this code. The variable hcolor is set to "#FFFF00" but you may set it to anything like "red" or "blue". Hcolor is the color of the highlighter in search results.

The other variables newHTML, popHTML, and hotHTML are html that will be written when links are either new, popular or hot respectively.

<%= myTitle%>	Link Title.
<%= linkRec("url")%>	Links URL Note: Use link instead.
<%= linkRec("hits")%>	Number of Hits.

Links

Code	Results
redir.asp?link=<%= linkRec("linkid")%>&tree=<%= tree%>	Redirection URL Use instead of <%= linkRec("url")%>
Javascript:openWindow('rate.asp?linkid=<%=linkRec("linkid")%>&func=get')	URL of voting pop-window
Javascript:openWindow('error.asp?func=<%=ltcurlinkid%>&funcb=report')	Report Error
Javascript:openWindow('sendfriend.asp?func=<%=ltcurlinkid%>&funcb=who')	Send Link To a Friend
review.asp?func=revpost&funcb=<%= ltcurlinkid%>&tree=<%= tree%>	Write Comment
review.asp?func=revlist&funcb=<%= ltcurlinkid%>&tree=<%= tree%>	Read Comment

TIP: If you chose to employ the link display files that open in the same window but want resource to open in new windows you can accomplish this by writing the link like this:
<A href="redir.asp?link=<%= ltcurlinkid%>&tree=<%= tree%>" <% if linkrec("linktype") = 0 then%>target="_blank"<%end if%>><%= myTitle%></A>
This will dynamically add the target="_blank" attribute to the resources when a new window is desired.
