numero = 14810

texte = (apologies if this is a dup. My first attempt didn't seem to find its way through the ether...)I'm having a little trouble with constructing the logic for the following scenario:Problem 1: I'm creating a search form (using pulldowns ) that looks for doctors by specialty and city. However if the [numfound] is less than 2 then I'd like to: A. Display whatever records did match the criteria, and B. Use a [Showif] statement to display some error message C. Do a second search based upon the same [showif] criteria that only uses the previous arguement for the Specialty field (ignoring the City arguement) and displays those results in the same results.tmpl below the error message.How do I pass the search arguements from the Specialty search into a second search while ignoring the search by City arguement?Problem 2: In the results page I'd like display the city field only once for each set of doctors in that city that met the above search criteria, for example:La Jolla Doc 1 Doc 2San Diego Doc 3 Doc 5Pacific Beach Doc 4How do I write a [showif] (hideif ?) statement that only displays that field once for a given set of records.TIA ____________________________________ | Marty Schmid | | -Artwerks- | | Design/Advertising/Web Publishing | | | | T. 619.274.5029 | | F. 619.274.5656 | | e-mail: marty@artwerks.com | |____________________________________|
