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.

This was so easy once the idea clicked..

See it here: http://www.inpanamacity.com/news-and-media/blogs/...

 
<!-- 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>
