relational database field disappears

Featured Replies

I have created a webpage with a table of search results. I have many fields that are relational fields and they display fine. When I link to the individual record to go to a detailed web page, the only fields that appear on the web page are the regular fields, not the relational ones. here is an example of a relational field that works in one page, not the other: [FMP-Field: subjects::firstname]

what am I doing wrong?

Are you using the same Layout? Or, do you have those fields in a Portal on the Layout you are using?

Good Luck.

The first link that I use to create the first set of search results (where the realtional fields appear properly) is this:

<a href="FMPro?token=118&-db=assets.fp5&-Lay=websearch&-format=searchresults.htm&subject=[FMP-Field: Subject Key]&-Find">

When the user clicks on one record on my webpage to get more detail (where the relational fields dissappear) is this:

<a href="[FMP-LinkRecID:format=moviedesc.htm]">

I don't think [FMP-LinkRecID] is the right tag to use here because it uses the RecID from the master record (not the related). Besides, you will have to name the related database in the URL.

All the best.
