Need help with a link to dmoz

    I have a travel directory based on a free script at www.olga.co.za . It uses mainly data imported from dmoz.org but I changed a bit the subcategories. I'm using the dmoz copyright (as per thir policy) at the bottom of my pages but I can't figure out (I'm not a programmer) how to set up the link to them correctly. As per their requirements needs to point to the specific category in Dmoz. On my site shows like http://dmoz.org/cgi-bin/apply.cgi?where=$cat. I need to replace $cat with the proper category. As an example my page for Africa needs to link to "http://dmoz.org/cgi-bin/apply.cgi?where=Regional/Africa/Travel_and_Tourism" , the one for Europe to "http://dmoz.org/cgi-bin/apply.cgi?where=Regional/Europe/Travel_and_Tourism" , etc.

    I come accross this problem after I applied to change my site listing in dmoz to a different category. Now they suspended my listing because it violates their policy.

    Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.

    I don't understand what you ae asking. The links you provide as examples work. They go to the 'become and editor' page for that category.

    So, where is there a problem?

    Everything seems fine as far as the DMOZ attribution code is concerned.

    Thanks very much for you interest. In the meantime I found a programmer that fixed the issue.
