Hello,

we would like to create a site portal like www.startpagina.nl so we have to make a toplist for each category on the main page.

The problem is that we have to create a lot of toplists that causes a lot of "server stress". A better way for this would be a toplist that creates a colomn for each category with the most popular links in it.

Something like this (but it doesn't work):

<!-- BEGIN CATSBODY -->
<!-- BEGIN REGULAR -->
here comes the category info
<!-- END REGULAR -->

<!-- BEGIN TOPLIST 1 -->
<CONFIG>links,hits,10,descending,catid = {CATID},0,1,0,0,0,0</CONFIG>
here comes the links info
<!-- END TOPLIST 1 -->

<!-- END CATSBODY -->


Kind regards.

You have to put the toplist code within the scope of a category, which means before the <!-- END REGULAR -->. You also need a unique number for it, you can use {CATNUMBER} for that. This will create a huge server load though, surely. Pulling data from every category on one page isn't very practical.
