Re: [mv] mv_searchspec not retained accross [more-list]



Daniel,
I had the same problem After some considerable searching of the list, I found 
the solution. I try to recap it now.

Put the following near the top of your results.html page:
[set mv_put_session]Yes[/set]

Then check and see if mv_searchspec has a value (if it does, you know this is 
the first page of results) If it does, save the value as a scratch variable. 
Here's my code:
[if value mv_searchspec ne ""]
[set name="search_string" interpolate="1"][value mv_searchspec][/set]
[/if]

Then, in your image reference, instead of using mv_searchspec directly, use 
the scratch variable. as follows:
src=/images/[scratch search_string].gif

Make sense? Let me know if this doesn't work. It's been a while, and I may 
have explained it wrong. :o)

Regards,
Rob Maurer
