Re: active state community page and other missing links

I don't support any more outside links directly to the default nodelets. The Leftover nodelet already has I think eight, at least that many have I counted in the personal css rule that removes them.

These kind of links should go to one of the pages reachable from the Other info sources page which is linked from the Information nodelet.

In case there's anyone else who doesn't like all the outside links on the Leftover nodelet which otherwise has important in-site navigation links too, here's the rule. Just copy to the personal CSS box in Display Settings.

/* hide some links from the nodelets */
.nodelet#leftovers a[href="http://www.cafepress.com/perlmonks,perlmonk
+s_too,pm_more"], .nodelet#leftovers a[href="http://www.cafepress.com/
+perlmonks,perlmonks_too,pm_more"] + br, 
a[href="http://perlbuzz.com/"], .nodelet#leftovers a[href="http://perl
+buzz.com/"] + br, 
a[href="http://perl.com/"], .nodelet#leftovers a[href="http://perl.com
+/"] + br, 
a[href="http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi"], .nodelet#left
+overs a[href="http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi"] + br, 
a[href="http://jobs.perl.org/"], .nodelet#leftovers a[href="http://job
+s.perl.org/"] + br, 
a[href="http://www.pm.org/"], .nodelet#leftovers a[href="http://www.pm
+.org/"] + br, 
a[href="http://planet.perl.org/"], .nodelet#leftovers a[href="http://p
+lanet.perl.org/"] + br, 
a[href="http://use.perl.org/"], .nodelet#leftovers a[href="http://use.
+perl.org/"] + br, 
a[href="http://www.perl.org/"], .nodelet#leftovers a[href="http://www.
+perl.org/"] + br 
{ display: none }

Note: this doesn't hide the Perl Documentation link and the link to CPAN. Add those too if you want.

Update: Fixed the rules to hide those remaining two links as well, for I decided I don't need those either. Here's the new rule:

.nodelet#leftovers a[href="http://www.cafepress.com/perlmonks,perlmonk
+s_too,pm_more"], .nodelet#leftovers a[href="http://www.cafepress.com/
+perlmonks,perlmonks_too,pm_more"] + br, 
.nodelet#leftovers a[href="http://perlbuzz.com/"], .nodelet#leftovers 
+a[href="http://perlbuzz.com/"] + br, 
.nodelet#leftovers a[href="http://perl.com/"], .nodelet#leftovers a[hr
+ef="http://perl.com/"] + br, 
.nodelet#leftovers a[href="http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.c
+gi"], .nodelet#leftovers a[href="http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/
+index.cgi"] + br, 
.nodelet#leftovers a[href="http://jobs.perl.org/"], .nodelet#leftovers
+ a[href="http://jobs.perl.org/"] + br, 
.nodelet#leftovers a[href="http://www.pm.org/"], .nodelet#leftovers a[
+href="http://www.pm.org/"] + br, 
.nodelet#leftovers a[href="http://planet.perl.org/"], .nodelet#leftove
+rs a[href="http://planet.perl.org/"] + br, 
.nodelet#leftovers a[href="http://use.perl.org/"], .nodelet#leftovers 
+a[href="http://use.perl.org/"] + br, 
.nodelet#leftovers a[href="http://www.perl.org/"], .nodelet#leftovers 
+a[href="http://www.perl.org/"] + br, 
.nodelet#leftovers a[href="http://perldoc.perl.org/"], .nodelet#leftov
+ers a[href="http://perldoc.perl.org/"] + br, 
.nodelet#leftovers a[href="http://cpan.perl.org/"], .nodelet#leftovers
+ a[href="http://cpan.perl.org/"] + br 
{ display: none }

Update: added newlines to the css rules, I hope that doesn't break it.

Perhaps this isn't quite necessary, but what about a link to Linux info, such as the Linux home page, or even a Linux forum? Since there are so many Monks who use Linux, just thought maybe this would be a good idea. Anyway, ++good topic. :)	[reply]

Arguably, that sort of thing really belongs on one's homenode (DigitalKitty's homenode comes immediately to mind, with her listing of free ebooks), although I certainly understand the desire, when one does not already know of exsting quality resources. I also keep such things in my Free Nodelet, for easy linking if a question comes up in a post or the CB (facilitated by holli's superb Monk Links Firefox addon). HTH, planetscape	[reply]
