I am merging news data using the array_merge command.
The news data lists fine.
However when I click on a news item to display it in detail with the page viewer, it quite often loads the wrong one.
Obviously this is because the data is merged and the order of the data is different and it seems to access the first news articles that are added to the array_merge.
Any advice on how to get round this?
Thanks
Paul

I have no hair left but it turns out the solution was simple thanks to finding this post:

For those of you working with simple array_merge but problems with the link going to the wrong article....
I was using:
<a href="<?php echo $record['_link'] ?>But I am now using:
<a href="news-detail.php?title=<?php echo urlencode($record['title']);?>I also had to remove from the detail viewer code:
'where' => whereRecordNumberInUrl(1),If anyone thinks I have gone about this the wrong way please let me know!!
CMS builder is so powerful for even us noobs to solve problems! I really wish my work place would let me study PHP and not expect me to magic up solutions on the fly lol!!
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the update. Glad to see you were able to solve the link issue.
Building links the way you have can be a good way to link to results by category, results by date, printer friendly pages, and so on.
I find the showme function is really useful to list all the available variables from an array that I can use:
<?php showme($newsRecords); ?>Damon Edis - interactivetools.com
