Re: [Dave R] All list links point to same detail listing?

Hi Dave,

CMS Builder is set up so that you use a single detail page for a given section. That way the display and layout is always the same, just the content is different. Is there a reason why you need each record to go to a different detail page?

If so, one thing you could do is add a "detail_page" field to your section. For each record, enter a different detail page file name. In your list page code, you can use the value of "detail_page" in you link instead of the default "_link" pseudo field.

Hope this helps get you started.

Hi Jason,

What I'm wanting to achieve is to build a directory, thousands of listings. At the moment, I have created 6 test / dummy listings. When I click on the links, they all point to the same listing. If that doesn't explain it better... think of Listings Manager... listings list, with links to details... but whenever I follow the links from listings list... they all point to the same content.

I can always email you the admin login if that helps.

Thanks
Dave

Just an update: I note other customers are requesting urgent attention with issues. Conversely, I am in no rush and happy to wait... tis a project that has been in the "We'll get around to that one day" box for a long long time... please do prioritise others. [;)]

Cheers
Dave

Hi Dave,

Thank you for your patience, it's really appreciated!

I think I see what you are getting at now. If you could post a link to your list page, and attach the code for your detail page, I think we can figure out why your detail page is always displaying the same content.

Hope this helps,

Hi Jason,

I've emailed you the URL's, it's very early stages and we'd like to keep the cat in the bag for the time being and have an official launch when ready etc.

There are three images in the code, but the intention is to have quite a few more, possibly 10 or more.

Cheers
Dave

Re: [Dave R] All list links point to same detail listing?

Hi Dave,

Thank you for the email. I can see what's happening now.

The issue here is that the getRecords() call in your detail page doesn't have any thing in it's WHERE clause. This results in it always retrieving the first record in the list.

Try this instead:

// load record from 'lawyers'
list($lawyersRecords, $lawyersMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'lawyers',
'where' => whereRecordNumberInUrl(0),
'loadUploads' => true,
'allowSearch' => true,
'limit' => '1',
));

This should take care of the issue for you.

Hope this helps
