Re: Newbie trouble with [url] & [foundItems]

texte = I can't see anything wrong with eventslist.tpl. It appears that the [url] is not working for some reason. I am assuming that you copied the code from the actual page, instead of retyping it. The first thing I would do is to eliminate the [include] and see if anything changes. You need to get a clean link statement (i.e. no Error: expected).A couple of suggestions about other aspects of your pages. I always name my include files with an extension of .inc, so it is immediately obvious that this is not a full page, either of HTML or WebDNA. Hence I would use header2.inc instead of header2.htm. Secondly, in your results page, eventscategory.tpl, you use [url][category][/url] in plain text. The only times you want to use [url][field][/url] are: 1) when you are passing a field as part of a link 2) when you are testing in [ShowIf] or [HideIf]Anytime when a field could contain spaces or special characters (|^~) you need to wrap it with [url]. If you are just displaying the field in text, you don't need/want it [url]ized.John PeacockRobert McPeak wrote: > > Hey Guys. Good morning.
