Re: [SearchString] usage

This WebDNA talk-list message is from

1997


It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 11637
interpreted = N
texte = Unlike the other WebDNA tags that are straight carry-overs from 1.6, [searchstring] has a similar meaning, but completely new format. Rather than outputting a human readable version of what people are searching for, [searchstring] outputs a form (method post or get) version of the entire search. This is used to build up the [shownext] links. The [searchstring] variable is only valid within a [shownext] context (see online docs for [shownext]). HOWEVER, you don't need the old-style [searchstring] anymore because all the search variables can be used individually to build up a much better version of the human readable search string.John. >I'm having trouble using [SearchString] in several situations using the >2.0f3 plug-in. > >First is in my logfile.
