How to list according popularity?

[javafaqIII]

Excuse me that I did not use this advice before when it was here :-(

How do i list links according popularity not time when they were added. Please point just the palce, file I mean, and I can change myself

By the way do database was totaly destroyed? There were a lot of good hacks!
Maybe you can open one board for approving by authors that code is right?
I mean open one board and name it smth like this "Rest from former board" and just copy and paste some messages that are left in good condition.
You could do accessible just to old customers like me (since april) for while and when it is Ok to open to everybody.
I was visiting board during that "hack " time and saw that mostly common discussion was damaged not code!
I believe it was done by your competitors that always were under "anonymous" mask and complained much.

Do please back up of this forum on weekly basis!!!!

Hope you recover the board!

The file that you need to change depend on where you waant to do the change.
If you want to chage it in the search results then you need to change search.php3.

Any way the files that you need to change are: browse.php3, search.php3, hot.php3, new.php3.

Also, when you say by popularity, do you mean hits or number of votes or rating?

If you want to change it based on hits popularity, you need to change this line:

$query = "select * from link where category_id = '$cat' order by num_hits desc";
