Detail page within a detail page
|
Can't Post

Firstly, a huge thank you Dave for your help on my last question!
I have a detail page, on which I have a link to a second detail page. I'm having real trouble keeping the record the same - i.e. say we're on record D on detail page 1, when clicking the link to detail page 2, we're loosing the fact we're on record D.
On detail page 1, we have:
<a href="detail-two.php">View Floor Plan</a>
I've tried making the link as:
<a href="detail-two.php?reference=<?php echo $saleRecord['reference'] ?>">View Floor Plan</a>
To make it point to detail-two.php?reference=D for example, but this doesn't work.
Also tried adding in code into there where => of step 1 of detail page 2, but nothing i've tried works - we either revert to record A, or no record at all.
I can see it being really easy and obvious, but can't get it to work anyway I try...
Normally I would just use:
<?php echo $saleRecord['_link'] ?>
NB will ultimately have more than one additional detail page, but presuming solution to this will work for others.
Thank you heaps in advance,
Rob

Hi Rob,
The detail viewer looks for the record number on the end of the url by default. So all you need to do is add that:
<a href="detail-two.php?<?php echo $saleRecord['num'] ?>">View Floor Plan</a>
If you want the keywords in the url too from the title (or whatever you have it set to (if it's setup) you can get that with <?php echo $saleRecord['_filename'] ?> so you'd use:
<a href="detail-two.php?<?php echo $saleRecord['_filename'] ?>-<?php echo $saleRecord['num'] ?>">View Floor Plan</a>
If you haven't used those yet you can take a look under: Admin > Section Editors > Viewer Urls > Filename Fields.
And some great debugging code if you want to see all the "fields" that are available inside a variable is this:
<xmp><?php print_r($saleRecord); ?></xmp>
Hope that helps!
