Re: [mv] Flypage broken with arg
****** message to minivend-users from Ken Berland <ken@hero.com> ******
I posted an answer to this. Don't use flypage. Use any other page, pass
all your arguments and the item-code, parse them out, and do an in page
search to display the right stuff. You can pass any data you like and use
perl to retrieve it.

Subject: Re: [mv] flycat problem with arg
I pass args like this
HREF="[area category sheep]" then on the category page its in [data
session arg] as "sheep". You can set it to a persistent scratch variable
as well:
[if session arg]
[set name="arg-input" interpolate=1][data session arg][/set]
and see it with [scratch arg-input]
you can modify it with perl like this:
[perl arg=scratch]
my($input)=$Safe{scratch}{'arg-input'};
... insert code that modifies $input here
$Safe{scratch}{'my-perl-output'}=$input;
[/perl]
[scratch my-perl-output] shows your new scratch variable.
