texte = Hi,I installed the 2.01 upgrade for webcatalog yesterday and I ran into a couple problems.First, I have a stand alone progam that I use to append product specs into a database. These specs include HTML tags for things like bullets and font color and if you did a hard return while entering specs, the result would come back as a
. To have these tags interpreted I had to enclose the content of the fields in the database with the [convertchars] tag (ie.. [convertchars][anyField][/convertchars]...) on the search results template.In 2.0 this worked fine but after I upgraded to 2.01 it is was like the [convertchars] tag had been changed to the [raw] tag. Search results were showing up with uninterpreted HTML tags. Also, the source showed these tags as escape codes. So I removed the [convertchars] tag and the HTML code is working fine but now hard returns are not interpreted as a
. Now I have these long run on paragraphs. Take a look the specs for any product on my site http://www.club-mac.com you'll see what I mean. If you don't see any specs at all its because I've already ruined my latest specs database trying to fix it with various programs and tweaking. ER! I've got specs for about 2000 products so I'm not really excited about manualy editing this db. Anyone know what's up with this or does any one know of a program that would allow me to edit this db easily. Excel would be cool if I could get it to find a hard return then replace it with
and saving it as a tab delimited db but it can't find a hard return in a document like Word can. Correct?Also, my counter.db in my MasterCounter folder is not being found and I haven't move it or changed the path. Why?One last thing - anybody else using Site Edit on an NT machine? Doesn't it suck? Site Edit works 100% better on a Mac Server but I guess that's for a different tech support group!
