HOW-TO: Display link ID# in a listing?

[ataraxia]

Is there a way to dsiplay the ID# of a link in its listing?

Sounds like adding a variable to a template....

Which variable and which template??

Thanks!

Do you want it on the browselinks.php page, or the showlink.php page?

Actually, I'd prefer both but showlink.php is the most important.

In browselinks it might "fit" well following the posters' name and posting date/time, something like this ("234" is an example ID #):

Is implementing this complex enough to require a hack to the PHP code or is it more a matter of just adding the linkID variable name to some templates for display?

Adding $link[linkid] in your 'adv_links_linkbit' template will show it on your browselinks pages and your index page (if you have new or random links on there). Same variable in your 'ADV_LINKS_SHOWLINK' template will add the linkid on the showlink.php page.
