I dont mean to double post though I am looking to find ways to add these mods to PHPLD....

I would like to add Optimized Titles for PHPLD

where instead of title: DIR > CATegory > sub-CAT

you get sub-CAT > CAT > DIR

or even your custom title for each cat or subcat

Meta Name/Description

Can we get custom meta names or descriptions? or simply use words from the description/ cat title to fill these in? (better than nothing)

Detail Page - links only

where links are not functional on the main (higher PR page) but only work on the details page for the link...ie link out only when users click on the Details link (this will save PR for the page)
i have thought of easily adding a "no rel" tag but i would prefer the details link page instead....

i have some ideas anyone else think they can help? Also are any of these features going to be in PHPLD 3?

I will pay for PHPLD3 or if people want these please post here maybe we can raise money together for someone to do this...

As far as I can tell, we can provide custom descriptions on each page by just defining the description for each category, and then including the following in your header.tpl:
<h1 id="title">{$in_page_title}</h1>
<p id="descr">{$description}</p>

Inside my <head> tags, it reads:
<title>{$smarty.const.DIRECTORY_TITLE}{$smarty.capture.ti tle|strip}</title>
<meta name="description" content="{$description}">
<meta name="ROBOTS" content="ALL">
<meta name="revisit-after" content="7 Days">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf8" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{$smarty.const.DOC_ROOT}/main.css" />

This provides the title and description of each category page.

As far as not having the link URL on the link.tpl perhaps you can change:
<a id="{$link.ID}" href="{$link.URL}"

to just: {$link.ID}

The only other thing I would like to see is the ability to add keywords to both the category pages, and the listings. This way, the keywords would help to improve the search scoring, and possibly help define the pages better for the spiders. I know that Google Ads are pretty much defined by keywords.
