texte = I've been trying to create a new admin function that allows me toclose the specific databases while leaving the others open.Apparently this is impossible, because the [name] tag inside the[listdatabases] context uses colons (:) for the folder separators inits path names. But the [closedatabase] tag only recognizes URL-stylepath names which use slashes.What would be *really useful* here would be a new characterformatting context that replaces matching character strings withsomething else. I think it would look something like this:[replaceCharsfind=:&replaceWith=/]folder:subfolder:sub-subfolder:databasefile.db[/replacetext]which would result in:folder/subfolder/sub-subfolder/databasefile.dbThen the URL-style-only path format of the [closedatabase] tag wouldno longer be a problem, and we would also have a great new textformatting tool to use for 'other' purposes!Sincerely, Ken GromeWebDNA Solutions808-737-6499 Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
