How do I change the character limit for the description field?

When I edit my main category template (defdir.html) or link info template (linkinfo.html) the changes seem to be saved to the templates, but when I preview categories or generate categories these changes does not show.

How do I apply styles from my style sheet to links?

Create the style sheet file and upload it to your web site if you have not already done so.

Go to the PowerSeek Control Panel >> Template Manager >> 1. Default Category/Directory Templates >> Main Category/Directory

Insert the reference to the style sheet between <head> tags of this template. It could look like this:

<link href="http://www.yourdomain.com/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

Go to the Control panel >> Template Manager >> 1. Default Category/Directory Templates >> Links Style

Now apply the styles you want to use for the link styles to this template. This template represents the style of standard links displayed inside categories.

If you would like to apply the same styles to premium links then go to the PowerSeek Control Panel >> Template Manager >> 1. Default Category/Directory Templates >> Premium Links Style

To customize other link listings listed in other places with the CSS styles you need to do the following:

For Search Results links:

Go to the Control Panel >> Template Manager >> 2. Search Result Templates
- Places the reference to the style sheet inside: Main Search Page
- Edit the link style templates Links Style and Premium Links Style to implement the styles

For the What's New links styles:

Go to the Control Panel >> Template Manager >> 6. What's New Templates

- Places the reference to the style sheet inside: Main What's New Page

- Edit the link style templates What's New Listings Style and What's New Listings Premium Style to implement the styles

For the Top Hits links styles:

Go to the Control Panel >> Template Manager >> 7. Top Hits Templates

- Places the reference to the style sheet inside: Main Top Hits Page

- Edit the link style templates Top Hits Listings Style and Top Hits Listings Premium Style to implement the styles

For the Favorites links styles:

Go to the Control Panel >> Template Manager >> 9. Favorites

- Places the reference to the style sheet inside: Main Favorites

- Edit the link style templates Favorites Link Style and Favorites Premium Link Style to implement the styles

I run a static Directory. I have made changes but when I go to my front page to browse the categories my changes to the templates are not reflected.

When some one clicks on the title of a link I want them to go to the 'more info' page instead of the URL of the listing. How do I do that?

I want to build a Search Engine & Directory and provide it to my visitors in another Language. How do I do that.

I recently bought a web site template that I would like to implement with PowerSeek. Is there a quick way to implement the template without editing all templates?

Can I use style sheets with PowerSeek?

I have just edited the 'Add URL' templates in the template manager. When I returned to make futher changes to the template I get the box to edit the HTML code but under that I also get the actual Add URL form as a web page, If i try to save changes nothing happens. In other words, the 'Add URL' form partially displays when I try to edit it inside the template manager and does not save when I try to implement changes. (The template manager page where I edit the 'Add URL' templates looks garbled.

Everything worked but when I customized my templates a lot of things stopped working.

I notice that the script is listing the categories in 3 columns. Is there a way to reduce that to 2 columns, or 1 column?

Is there a way to increase the size of the comment/review scrolling text box where visitors type the reviews/comments?

My pages show a 'TOP' link. How can I change the URL for the 'TOP' link?
