Re: [mv] Flypage broken with arg

i think flypage does some internal magic with the args, like parsing them
and doing a search before it hits the page.
You might try adding links like:
[area myFlypage code=[item-code] extra=foo]
then parse the code and extra arguments with some perl:
[set name="arg-input" interpolate=1][data session arg][/set]
[perl arg=scratch]
my($input)=$Safe{scratch}{'arg-input'};
if ($input=~/code=(\w+)/){
	$Safe{scratch}{'my-code'}=$1;
}
 if ($input=~/extra=(\w+)/){
        $Safe{scratch}{'my-extra'}=$1;  
}
}

then do a [loop search="..."] to find the item and display it.

(or something like that, the code above is untested and hand typed...)
