Hello,

I'm doing a restaurant guide using dbman, I installed the short/long mod.

I was adding the local restaurants and some of the were big chains, the same restaurants in diferent areas.

I wanted that only the main restaurant will show up on the short list, and when I click on it, all the other restaurants of the chain with show up on a short list....And If a click on one of the these restaurant, the long will show up normally.

Can someone help me out??

Search this forum for adding another short routine...it has been discussed before...

I am assuming that you want to do the following:

Short View #1


Short View #2


Long View


Right?

Regards,

Actually, I would make chains into a quasi-category, so that a listing would look like...

Bill's Diner
Joe's Bar & Grill (4)
Steve's Food Shack

where the (4) next to Joe indicates 4 locations... but maybe this is not what you are looking to do?

1. Read the FAQ, 2. Search the board, 2a. Search the board again, 3. ask the question, 4. back-up, 5. experiment, 6. rephrase question (or better yet, post solution to original question)

Good suggestion, oldmoney...which leads me to suggest that your better choice of scripts to use since you are building a directory rather than a regular database, you might want to check out LINKS,
fgoldin.

You may find it a lot easier to configure for your needs based on a Category/Sub Category structure rather than re-scripting the html.pl file to include different views.

LINKS is more flexible in terms of creating a directory site.

Thanks for the replies, and about links, there are some features that would be vey usefull, like the top sites, sub category.

But the most important feature of my site, is the advanced search, the user can search for a italian restaurant in queens that takes visa... And another thing, the long view has lots of information, like picture, description, menu with prices....Is that possible in links??

1) Yes...You can add fields in the Advanced Search engine to narrow specific fields.

2) Yes...There is a thing called DETAILED PAGES in links and also many add-ons that will work for your project!

Good luck....For more information on LINKS...search the LINKS forums and download the LINKS package...and read the README file!
