Hi guys,

I am using the record titles as a level of sub navigation which is fine although when you are then on the record detail page, the sub navigation is only listing that record. I know I need to adjust something to do with the 'where' or 'limit' clauses bit but could someone tell me to what?

Here is the List page: http://www.fly7.co.uk/test/our-helicoptersList.php

Thanks!

Hi there.

Thanks for posting!

I see what you mean with the navigation. What you'll want to do is add the following to your viewer code for the list of page titles (not the viewer that loads your single record):

'allowSearch' => false,

That should get you going. Give that a shot and let me know how you make out.

Thanks!

Hi Ross,

I already seem to have that line:
// load record from 'our_helicopters_list'
list($our_helicopters_listRecords, $our_helicopters_listMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'our_helicopters_list',
'where' => whereRecordNumberInUrl(0),
'loadUploads' => true,
'allowSearch' => false,
'limit' => '1',
));
$our_helicopters_listRecord = @$our_helicopters_listRecords[0]; // get first record
if (!$our_helicopters_listRecord) { dieWith404("Record not found!"); } // show error message if no record found

Any other suggestions? Is it because of the 'limit' part?

Hi,

Your query is set up to retrieve only a single record, based on the record number in the URL. The first thing you'll need to do is remove the "limit" option from your getRecords() call.

After that, you'll want to remove your "where" option. If you want to return all the records from your "our_helicopters_list" section, you won't need either of these options.

Hope this helps

Hi Jason,

That kind of works! When I do that, although the records are all listed as a sub navigation, it only allows me to view the first recored (even if I click on the link for the second). Any ideas? Thanks!
