Using Custom Templates
|
Can't Post
|
|
HELP! What seems to be happening, consistently, is that I can use/assign a custom template as the output ONLY when I use an "a href" command......NOT when I use a form command?
Is this correct?
If I specify the custom template like this:
<form method=get action="http://www.portfolio-of-homes.com/cgi-bin/rm/exec/search.cgi?search=1&lfield52_keyword=yes&template=_open_house.html">
<input type="hidden" name="search" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="perpage" value="10">
<input type="hidden" name="sort_order" value="4,123,reverse">
<input type="hidden" name="marknew" value="">
I get the main search results page/format.
If I use this:
<A href="http://www.portfolio-of-homes.com/cgi-bin/rm/exec/search.cgi?search=1&lfield52_keyword=yes&lfield2_keyword=Manhasset&template=_open_house.html">View Open Houses in Manhasset / Plandome</a><BR>
I get my desired template?
What am I DOING WRONG!?

Hey Denise,
I think what may be happening is that because you don't fill in an explicit form field specifying the template to use, the search script somehow overwrites the template mentioned in the action attribute of the form tag.
Boy, that was clear. Let me try again. ;-)
Try removing the &template=_open_house.html from your form tag, to make this:
<form method=get action="http://www.portfolio-of-homes.com/cgi-bin/rm/exec/search.cgi?search=1&lfield52_keyword=yes">
then, add a hidden field within the form itself:
<input type="hidden" name="template" value="_open_house.html">
This should work; give it a go! Post me back if you're still having trouble :-)

Hi Ben:
Great, now it displays my template, HOWEVER, it will not sort by lfield52=yes????? Here's what I have coded:
<form method=get action="http://www.portfolio-of-homes.com/cgi-bin/rm/exec/search.cgi?search=1&lfield52_keyword=yes">
<input type="hidden" name="template" value="_open_house.html">
<input type="hidden" name="search" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="perpage" value="10">
<input type="hidden" name="sort_order" value="4,123,reverse">
<input type="hidden" name="marknew" value="">
and then of course for the select field:
<select name="lfield2_keyword">
So, I want it to pull all records that field 52 says yes, for the users selected "town".
I had it working the other way?
Thanks,
Denise

Really, it worked the other way? That's kind of surprising. Try this - kind of like the last change, put the lfield25 info into a hidden field:
<input type="hidden" name="lfield25_keyword" value="yes">
and remove it from the action attribute of the form tag.
I'm optimistic this should fix it. Post me back!
