I want a member to add information on a performance location that maynot have a web address. I will need to turn off the need to add a url and the verifcation of a url being added to every entry. Is this possible?

This is already coded - if you go to the admin page and set allow_null_links to 1, then the url field can be left empty. You may want to change some of the phrases to explain the consequences. You should probably also edit local_links.php, go to the section which starts

// #################### Add Entry
if ($_REQUEST['action'] == "addlink") {

and change the line

$linkurl = "http://";

to whatever you want to

$linkurl = "";

If you want to skip showing the url box altogether, then you need to edit the link_addnewlink templates, and change the line

<input type="text" class="bginput" name="linkurl" value="$linkurl" size="50" />

, e.g. to [code]<input type="hidden" name="linkurl" value="$linkurl" />
