Ian looks like you got 6 cats on your links page... see if you can add a 7th and 8th test category and still have next consecutive cat id created/assigned right?
careful if it does get screwy... you wanna edit you data files to clean it up and not try to delete new cats with admin page (otherwise good cats get nixed too because id's are crossed)

ok, here's another minor little quirk I never noticed before... top ten page always adds an entry when 'Go' links are used, but if the link is already in the top ten it shouldn't it be updating just the hit counter  otherwise you see several entries in the top ten for same link http://dragboatalley.com/cgi-bin/links.cgi?/action/topten I cleaned out dups a few times now, thinking maybe is was from previous datafile change but nada - click a Go and top ten is always added too.

fix for dups on top ten page Find (compares link id and hit count) ##should we push this old line?
if (!(($tendata[0] == $ourarray[0]) && ($tendata[6] == $ourarray[6]))){
push(@updated,$line);
}
Replace with (compares link id and cat id) ##should we push this old line?
if (!(($tendata[0] == $ourarray[0]) && ($tendata[9] == $ourarray[9]))){
push(@updated,$line);
}

props to Allen and Ian, I released this script on my site a few days ago and my members love it, my sponsors are happy, and I've gotten more than a dozen compliments. Now Granted my members are turning the top ten feature into a virtual drag race to get/keep their favorites sites on the list, but hey thats what us dragboaters do best  thanks again!

I just noticed that if a link is added without the http:// the "Go" link doesnt redirect correctly.
And it seems common on my site that people put their link in like "wwww.whatever.com" and without the http:// it no likey.

Untested fix. FIND: print redirect("$linearray[2]");ADD ABOVE if($linearray[2] !~ m/^(http|ftp|https):///) {
$linearray[2] = "http://" . $linearray[2];
}

Help me, I'm drowning in frustration. Ever since I moved ot a "Host" from my own server, I have had problems. Here is my most recent...
Error message:
Premature end of script headers: links.cgi
I get this when trying to admin this mod and all I've done is upload the files.
TIA!!!!

I did indeed upload in ASCII and The CGI-BIN are 755, while the ubb/links/*.cgi are set to 777. I'm getting the afore mentioned Error 500.

Error 500 is the least helpful thing you can tell us.
There's nothing more I can guess without having ftp access

Hmm, I wonder what the difference was/is. I really appreciate your help. I thought that maybe it was a configuration error. I will try and upload a fresh file nextime I have a melt down.

How would I integrate this with my forum? Would i just add a link at the top with The other buttuns like Search, FAQs, Statistics... ETC?
Is there anyway to make it integrate into Ultiamtebb.cgi/Public_Common.pl so that it appears as another forum?
Thanks!

09/11/2004 - (v2.0.a) Alpha-release of v2. - db$id has all been moved to one file - links_data.cgi. - The dbcats.cgi file is now links_cats.cgi too. - Added the ability to edit the category the link is assigned to.  There's a bug (moderate/major) right now where the category shows all links, not just the ones assigned to that category http://www.praisecafe.org/ubbcgi/links.cgi/action/cat/id/1 Would be nice to show the category name rather than cat number when editing links too alpha now, couple bugs fixed will push us to beta

09/18/2004 - (v2.0.b, aka The Wedding Day Release  ) - major bug fixed by Burak (thank you) in picking and choosing the links for each category. Next bugs to fix will be: - allowing links to be moved to a different category (started not finished yet). - 'cleanliness' issues with code (some old links persist but aren't shown in the index summary) - numbers aren't always correct (hits, number of links, etc) Features to be added: - related to above, a way to rebuild stats and topten info off current information.

09/30/2004 - (v2.0.g) - features added (thanks to Ian) to allow the user to sort the category page by link name/ added by name, or # of hits. Also cleaned up the top ten code (with major help by Ian) to remove the redundant code since we're now using one file. You can now delete the tenlinks.cgi file. A few buglets remain before 2.0 final.

In case someone is interested, the code for allowing only admins to add sites: in DoAdd function Find: if ($siteurl !~ /^http/) { $siteurl = ('http://' . $siteurl); }Add After: #admin-only posting of links
@user_profile = &OpenProfile(&GetUserNumber($username));
if ($user_profile[8] ne 'Administrator') {&StandardHTML2("You must be an admin to add links"); exit;} I would like to know if it's possible to give to this ubb links a style sheet of it's own?

Thanks for the code As for css, it's possible, tho it might require a bit of work to do since we're using ubb's header code.

10/02/2004 - (v2.0 Gold) - bug cleaned up to allow selection of cat name instead of number upon edit when moving link to another category. Major feature added with a lot of help by LK, Charles Capps, and Ian Spence to rebuild the number of links in each category - you'll find a link to do so at the bottom of the admin page. With the release of 2.0 Gold it is moved to 'finished' status and the ubb.classic version supported is 6.7+ (I don't think it'll work out of the box with 6.6 anymore). There's probably a buglet or 3 left, but they're pretty much inconsequential and will be fixed shortly. Future plans include possibly a yahoo-style interface. Thank you to all the developers who've helped me get ubb.links this far - Ian, LK, Burak, Charles, and cal and Mark, even Roxy - very appreciated

Is there a simple way to use a different header, or does it always use the default styles setup?

It wouldn't be a simple thing to change, but if you have a different style in your forum somewhere you'd like to incorporate, you could set that on line 96:
%vars_style = &LoadStyleTemplate("summary_page");

Ok got that, thanks Another thing, I like the integration with the lightbulbs on the links page, but when I changed the style to different light bulbs, I noticed the page didn't change. I had to change lightbulbs in the links.cgi file. Do the lightbulbs not get brought in with the style page, or was this an oversight that is fixed in v2?
