Re: Search Command, multiple dbs, etc.

It keeps the original formatting.
interpreted = N
texte = Since you are using a search context on the People.tpl page, it doesn't make sense to construct *command* style links. Change your links to something like [Author1] and it should work. Just remember, you don't want to mix context and command syntax, unless you are using the context independently of the command, which in this case you are not. In order for [Author1] to be a valid variable on the People.tpl page, it must be passed to it in a form or link. You are passing a search command with a variable named eqAuthor1data, which is not the same thing. If you want to use a command, you don't use the [search] context on the results page. If you want to use a [search] context on the results page, you don't use command syntax in your link, but instead make sure you pass the necessary variables so that the [search] context works.Mike> > > Can somebody clue me in as to why my search commands below do not return > any data on my People.tpl page. > > My Results.tpl page yields a list of books with a list of authors & > editors hyperlinked to a People.tpl page (which comes up empty).
