texte = Hmmm, maybe I was dropped on my head too much as a tot, but I have NEVER (not once) been able to get [shownext] to work correctly for me and I can't remember why anymore, but I abandoned it long ago and this is how I coded around it after deciding that I only needed 10 items per page: ------------------------------------------------ [search db=my.db&blah=blah&max=10&startat=[start]] [math show=f]pages=ceil([numfound]/[max])[/math][founditems]
[/founditems] [/search][HideIf [pages]=1] Page 1 [/HideIf] [loop start=0&end=[pages]] [ShowIf [pages]>[math][index]+1[/math]] [math][index]+2[/math] [/ShowIf] [/loop] ------------------------------------------------ Being that it's based on 10, my gut feeling is that it could be tweaked pretty easily to accommodate different [max]'s, but I've never done it and if you try it and it blows up your machine, well, I'm really sorry about that.Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate it, and Happy Thursday to those who don't :)-Dan ------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.StrongGraphicDesign.com (208) 319-0137 | Toll-free p/f 877-561-1656 ------------------------------------------------------------ On Wed, 27 Nov 2002 16:17:38 -0600 Donovan wrote: >Brian, >the shownext context does not have to contain the search command. > >I think what John was saying is that you can basically save >a lot of time using shownext . > >I have had issues using it also but once I coded it correctly, >guess what... it worked fine. > >Donovan > > > > > >Brian Burton wrote: > >> John, >> Thank you! >> >> In using your technique, I - the master hacker - now have access to the >> name of you databases file(s) and the names of the fields.
