[/shownext]No it can't be used outside a search context -- but in the GeneralStore example it may be hard to see that it truly is inside a search context, because you arrive at that template from a $Search command, which effectively 'wraps' the entire page inside a search context.IMPORTANT POINT FOR EVERYONE HERE: Sometimes there are two ways your templates can be 'inside' a context. For instance, hyperlinking to a template with the $Search command means that the template is 'inside' the search context created by that command. Same for $ShowCart, $Purchase, $Add, $Remove -- they all effectively 'wrap' the template inside an [OrderFile] context.So the following two are equivalent:*******Example 1http://blah.com/Results.tmpl$search?db=xx&eqNamedata=xx-----Results.tmpl-----[numFound][foundItems]...[/foundItems][shownext]..[/shownext]----------------------(this template is 'inside' a search context when you link to it with a $Search command)*******Example 2------Any template.tmpl-----[Search db=xx&eqNamedata=xx] [numFound] [foundItems]...[/foundItems] [shownext]..[/shownext][/Search]----------------------------(this template has an 'embedded' search built right into it. The visitor can simply link to this page without any $Search in the URL)The same goes for [OrderFile] contexts. When you link to a template with an $Add command or $ShowCart command, the entire template is 'wrapped' inside an [OrderFile] context. But if you wanted to , you coul embed and [OrderFile] context on a page anywhere so you could get at the tags such as [grandTotal].-------Embedded OrderFile.tmpl--------[OrderFile ShoppingCarts/2942931451] [Name], [Address1], [GrandTotal] [LineItems] [Sku], [price] [/LineItems][/OrderFile]Grant Hulbert, V.P.
