Re: sf=category/se=<stuff here> - how to show the sf on results page?!

[Kyle Cook <kyle@invisio.com>]

Jason,

Try this:

.../va=fld=(insert field name here or mv tag)/se= ....


I use this to pass catagories and sub categories to results pages, on
the result page you can use [value fld] to get back your info

Here is a complex one I use to pass category, subcategory and
a second subcategory to a results page:

[page href=scan arg="va=cat=[item-field cat]
	/va=sub=[item-field subcat]/va=sub2=[item-field subcat2]
	/se=[item-field cat]/sf=4/se=[item-field subcat]/sf=5
	/se=[item-field subcat2]/sf=6/ml=5/co=yes/sp=results"]
[item-field subcat2]</a>

NOTE: the 'arg' line should be one line, I broke it apart just so it is
easier to read.

A snip from the results page:

<h5>[if value cat]
<b>Category:</b>
[page href=scan arg="va=cat=[value cat]/va=sub=/va=sub2=/se=[value 
cat]/sf=4/ml=5/sp=results"][value cat]</a><br>
[/if]

[if value sub] Subcategory: [page href=scan arg="va=cat=[value 
cat]/va=sub=[value sub]/va=sub2=/se=[value cat]/sf=4/se=[value 
sub]/sf=5/ml=5/co=yes/sp=results"][value sub]</a>
[/if]

[if value sub2] Subcategory 2: [value sub2]<br>[/if]

Again be carefull on line breaks.

Hope this helps,
Kyle
