Comus Thumbs: Setting Skim For Specific Tables
by TGPFactory Staff, 2005
To change the skimming percentage on a table-by-table basis, you need to edit a few things. First, the skim settings for Thumb and Text links in Comus (Settings>Thumb/Text Links). For me, the options are numbers 57 and 64. Let's say your standard TTT prefix is:
/cgi-bin/ttt-out?pct=65&url=
Change the percent (65) to %lshave% and %tshave% for links and thumbs, respectively.
/cgi-bin/ttt-out?pct=%lshave%&url= for setting #57
/cgi-bin/ttt-out?pct=%tshave%&url= for setting #64
Now you have to edit your Comus page template so that the skim setting is set in the macros.
{{THUMBS#60#all-thumbs-7-4-query-age1}}
- THUMBS is just a label, best to leave it as THUMBS or TEXTLINKS
- 60 is the skim percentage
- all-thumbs is the category to pull from
- 7-4 is the number of thumbs to pull - 4 rows of 7 each.
- query-age1 just tells comus where to pull from, you can change it to age2 for yesterday's, age3, etc.
