I'd love to see a template for a Similar Links Bit.
I have free listings that are linked directly to the site in question, assuming they have a URL.
I also have paid listings that go to a detail page with much more info.
In a Similar Links Bit, I'd want to add a conditional to the display of the links by type, and modify the resulting URLs appropriately, as well as determine if the listing has a URL associated or not.
Won't be standard because it's only on one page in the default templates as far as I recall, so an extra template for it would make things harder instead of easier. If you use it tons of places, use [INSERTFILE=similarbit] and add a similarbit custom template for it.
<!-- similiar links custom template. call with [insertfile=similarbit]
used to differentiate sponsored listing from regular (free) listing in: Combined details and comments -->
<table width="600"> <IF {LINKTYPE} is sponsored> <tr> <td valign="top" class="sponsoredlink"> <a href="http://www.mysite.com/{LINKDETAILSURL}" title="{LINKTITLE} In Panama City, Panama">{LINKTITLE}</a> {LINKNEW} {LINKISUPDATED}
<IF {LINKISREAD}><img src="http://www.mysite.com/{IMAGESURL}/visited.gif" alt="already viewed {LINKTITLE}" /></IF> {LINKADMIN} </td> </tr> <ELSE> <tr> <td valign="top" class="link"> <a href="http://www.mysite.com/{LINKURL}" title="{LINKTITLE} In Panama City, Panama" {EXTERNALLINKS}>{LINKTITLE}</a> {LINKNEW} {LINKISUPDATED} <img src="http://www.mysite.com/{IMAGESURL}/external_link.png" alt="This link opens in a new window and goes directly to {LINKTITLE}'s own web site" /> <IF {LINKISREAD}><img src="http://www.mysite.com/{IMAGESURL}/visited.gif" alt="already viewed (LINKTITLE}" /></IF> {LINKADMIN} </td> </tr> </IF> </table>
