Gossamer Forum: Products: DBMan: Customization: Help with "Short and Long Display of Records" Modification

At:
http://www.drizzle.com/~hall/dbmod/short.txt
I'm having problems with the modification. I think the problem is that I'm using the 'friendly' html.pl rather than the standard html.pl.

The modification says:

Code:
# file: html.pl sub html_record --## 

##-Define the "short display" as for each record, including the following link: 

$rec{$db_key} =~ s/<.?B>//g; 

print qq|<TD> 
<a href="$db_script_link_url&ww=on&$db_key=$rec{$db_key}&view_records=1">$rec{'field name'}</a> 
</TD>|; 

##-replacing 

##  field name ## 

##-with the appropriate field name.

Where exacly in sub html_record do I insert the above code and it says to "replace field name with the appropriate field name." What am I defining with field name? Is this what field will be displayed in the records or what?

Maybe it would just be easier to ask if there is a way to include custom searching - as in this thread:
