>Any suggestions? Hi Michael,I guess you found out that your WebDNA above won't work ... :)That's because you have to go to a single template page from your form template, you cannot choose which page to go to by using radio buttons. But that doesn't mean WebCat2 won't work for you in this situation, you just have to take a different approach ...Here's what I do: Put this on the form page:
Put this on the nextPage.tmpl:[showif [section]=schedules] [search db=db/comics.db&YourSearchParametersHere] [founditems] [/founditems] [/search] [/showif][showif section]=gallery] [search db=db/comics.db&YourSearchParametersHere] [founditems] [/founditems] [/search] [/showif] The 'section' variable on the form page tells WebCat2 which [showif] to use on the nextPage.tmpl. It's just like choosing two different pages with the radio buttons, but instead, you're actually choosing two different 'sections' of the same nextPage.tmpl.Sincerely, Ken Grome WebDNA Solutions
