Broken Links Can't Post

Any help would be appreciated. I need a new set of eyes at this point.

Why do the links for items on this page not work.

A. http://www.globalautotrade.com/listman/exec/search.cgi?search=1&template=_frontpage_listing.html&perpage=8

_frontpage_listing.html file attached

, but they do here

B. http://www.globalautotrade.com/listman/listings/

_publish_listing_index.html file attached

------------------------------

I see the problem, but nor the solution. From the results of the search (A) the item links go to .../listman/exec/file.html. From the results of listings (B) the item links go to .../listman/listings/file.html. I am using the search feature to limit the number of results to display per page.

I have found a solution or workaround, but that still does not identify why the search_results take my $listing_file$ and make the link go to the listman/exec/file.html file when they should go to listman/listings/file.html file.

In any case, the work around is to hardcode a relative or absolute url in the search_results page for the $listing_file$ link. See below.

<a href="../listings/$listing_file$">$lfield17$</a>

Hi sinjitsui,

Thanks for posting. Smile

The $listing_file$ placeholder doesn't actually generate the full path to a listing's page - it only generates that listing's file name. If you wanted to link the full path of a listing, you'd want to use this code:


Code
<a href="$listing_url$/$listing_file$">


The $listing_url$ placeholder specifies the full path to where the listings are published on your site. Does this make sense?

Let us know if you have any other questions!

Thanks Jake, I knew it just needed a fresh set of eyes. My workaround hardcoded what $listing_url$ was supposed to do.
