Hi,

say, I have a database i use for images.
Well, as a matter of fact, I am using dbman for exactly that:

www.peng.nl/photo/

Now, if i´ve clicked on a category or searched for a keyword, I get the results as thumbnails (html_record).

When I click on them, I go to html_record_long and it all works fine. However, once I´m there, in stead of having to go back to go to the search results, I´d like to have a "next" link to the next search result, straight away in html_record_long. So somehow, that link needs to know which one was the following search result.

Has this been done yet? I didn´t find info in the FAQ.

Thanks,

Lex

It's already part of html_record_long.

Jesus! In all my modifying dbman, I must have thrown this out rigth in the beginning somewhere!

Thanks a lot JPDeni!

Sometimes solutions are too simple to see them.

hmm... Both $next_url and $next_hit remain empty if I use it in html_record_long.

Where are they set? (If you know what I mean). Could someone copy the code?

I've found $next_url in db.cgi, but it´s used for the result of search pages, to produce the next, say, 10 results.

Okay, I´ve found it here on the forum.

(if any one needs it, here it is:)

# create links to previous and next records

$next_url = $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'};
$next_url =~ s/\&nh=\d+//;
$next_hit = $nh + 1;
$prev_hit = $nh - 1;

if ($prev_hit) {
$previous = qq~<a href="$db_script_url?$next_url&nh=$prev_hit"><$font>Previous</font></a>~;
}
else { $previous = " "; }

if ($next_hit <= $db_total_hits) {
$next = qq~<a href="$db_script_url?$next_url&nh=$next_hit"><$font>Next</font></a>~;
}
else { $next = " "; }

# create link back to short display
$list_url = $next_url;
$list_url =~ s/\&mh=\d+//;
$mh = $db_max_hits;
$lh = int(($nh-1)/$mh) + 1;
$list = qq~<a href="$db_script_url?$list_url&nh=$lh"><$font>Back to record list</font></a>~;

}

It's also in the mod --

To complete the code, the variables need to be printed out:
