Hot Listings and Editors Picks Not Displaying

[exploreflorida]

I have Indexu using a modified Simpla 5.4 template @ Buzzsonic.dj and I just noticed that editors picks and Hot Listings doesn't show up, although the RSS Feeds for both work fine in an RSS reader. One of those things I guess where I've clumsily deleted something. Any ideas what I've done?

Thanks

Ade

hot.html doesn't really have much

<%$links[i].link_rows%> and <%$links[i].category%>

If your file has that as well then the issue is probably in the database and has been discussed here before. Make sure in your database (idx_link) that the hot and pick fields are set to 0 by default and not NULL.

Hot.html seems to be missing the line of code, not quite sure where it should be?

As always thanks Bruce

This is from the kosmos template.

<%section name=i loop=$links%>
<table cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center" width="100%" class="tbl_border">
<tr bgcolor="#708090">

<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%">

</tr>
<tr bgcolor="white">
<td width="10%"><b>Rank</b></td>
<td width="40%"><b>Title</b></td>
<td width="40%"><b>Category</b></td>
