+ Summary: bar_link link template presidence
+ 
+ just working with the bar_link sub. (in 4.6.5 but not expecting change there ;-)
+ 
+ presidence of a link template is currently:
+ 
+ 1) database record
+ 2) passed from page
+ 3) from variable in catalog.cfg
+ 4) <A HREF="$URL$" CLASS="barlink">$ANCHOR$</A>
+ 
+ it would make more sense (to me) to allow a per page override of the database 
+ setting, for example to use the same category search (which has a db set 
+ template) on a page where you want to use different anchor text.
+ 
+ Can I suggest a v.small change to:
+ 
+ 1) passed from page
+ 2) database record
+ 3) from variable in catalog.cfg
+ 4) <A HREF="$URL$" CLASS="barlink">$ANCHOR$</A>
+ 
+ code change would be at the bottom of the sub:
+ 
+ 	my $tmpl = $extra
+ 			 || $record->{link_template}
+ 			 || $Variable->{BAR_LINK_TEMPLATE}
+ 			 || q{<A HREF="$URL$" CLASS="barlink">$ANCHOR$</A>};
+ 
+ thanks,
+ 
+ Jonathan.
