Hi There,
Is there anyway of passing db= paramaters in page.cgi and search.cgi as is done in the admin area, and as was originally done in the dbmanager?
the links database is not going to be my primary source of information, but it will be used for building. What I'm trying to do is pass something like db=artisans to page.cgi and search.cgi, have it look through that database and generate the pages. This was pretty easily implemented in links2.0 by parsing the form first and grabbing the specified .db and .def file. I've tried everything I can think of to do this manually and am coming up blank
Also, I now discover that we don't have the same control of file names and text in links SQL. For example, I was able to specify a the name of all my databases, and there was also the ability to specify the html_object, so if I didn't want everything called Links, I could change it to artists or something else. Is that ability gone? I notice the word Links is hardcoded into all the html pages.
I realize now that links SQL is still in it's infancy. What are the plans for upgrades? Both in terms of time frame and cost.
Thanks for your help. I see I have a lot of relearning to do.
