Re: MiniVend's static page building capability...
>I still haven'g got the built in static features to work.
I use the static page building feature. Here's how I do it. (Maybe this
should go in the FAQ someone is working on)
I use it to create static pages that can be read by search engines in my
public_html directory.
No guarantee this setup will work for you, but here goes.
1. catalog.cfg
Static Yes
StaticAll No
StaticDepth 2
StaticDir /pathtodir/public_html/directory/info # so they can be read by
search engines
StaticPage info
2. Create a file in your pages directory called "info.html". Put your
searches in this file like this:
------------------------
<HTML>
[tag flag build][value itemno][/tag]
[page scan/se=Adaptogens/sf=type/sp=inforesults/ml=1000] Adaptogens[/page]
[page scan/se=Arthritis/sf=type/sp=inforesults/ml=1000] Arthritis[/page
<BR>
</BODY>
</HTML>
------------------------
3. Create a file called inforesults.html in your pages directory. Here's
what mine looks like:
-----------------------
<HTML>
[tag flag build][value mv_searchspec][/tag]
<HEAD>
<TITLE>[search-list][on-change type][condition][item-field
type][/condition][item-field type][/on-change type][/search-list]
...Products From XYZ Company</TITLE>

4. Create a file in mvend/bin called "static_page.s" This is the script that
will do the build. Put this command in the file.
---------------
/pathto/mvend/bin/start -test -build nameofyourstore > static_page.err
---------------
5. Run the script. This will create the static pages. Errors will appear in
the err file.
That's all folks.
