texte = Is there some way of getting WebCatalog to return to me simply the_names_ of the databases? I'm trying to develop a generic admin pagewhere the administrator can get a list of open databases, and click onthe name to jump to a page for modifying that database.[list databases] returns really long full path names, although themanual states that the [name] tag can be a partial or full path --though I'm not sure what that means...it only returns it in one way forme, and there's no apparent way for me to change it. Is there?I'm keeping all databases in a single root folder (except forformulas.db for each site) makes it easier to develop a uniformtemplate for any given site, and I guess I could use a list files taginstead of list databases, since I know that only databases are inthat folder. Is there a good reason _not_ to centralize the databases(aside from the longer path parameter)?Also, I noticed a potentially frustrating typo in the manual, andcouldn't find a correction anywhere. The [list fields] entry says Optional Context Tags: [name] The name of the fieldbut it returns simply [name] in raw form! It was driving me crazy! Ona hunch, I tried [fieldname] and sure enough, that did the trick. Hasthis not been noticed before?spud. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- a.h.s. boy ---------------------- manifesto overlord, dada typographics spud@nothingness.org ------- http://www.nothingness.org/Now featuring Social Anarchism and the Situationist International archives J'suis l'enfant de l'etat, et je me bats contre ca
