include a file specified by a token

[nathanf]

Hi all,

I hope someone can help me here, I've tried every combination I can think of... including inline; though I don't understand the syntax of inline yet

I want to specify a format file by the value of a token for example, Token 6 has the value of "pa_form_spec_entry.html"

[FMP-include: [FMP-currenttoken:6]] - this doesn't work

[FMP-inlineaction -include: -currenttoken:6][/FMP-inlineaction] - tyhis doesn't seem right either

Also, some og the postings show curly braces {} - why/when are these used.

Thanks lots for you help

"I want to specify a format file by the value of a token for example, Token 6 has the value of "pa_form_spec_entry.html""

To what end.

Your example of fmp-include would indicate the desired end is to fill part or all of another format file. Is that what you are trying to do?

Peace

A format file is very different from an include. Which do you want to specify in the field?

Have you tried -format=[FMP-Field: whatever] yet?

Why don't you use [fmp-if]. if your field valuees are not much different use fmp if.

it works.

[fmp-if:currenttoken.eq.whatever1][fmp-iclude:whatever1.html][/fmp-if]

[fmp-if:currenttoken.eq.whatever2][fmp-iclude:whatever2.html][/fmp-if]

[fmp-if:currenttoken.eq.whatever3][fmp-iclude:whateve3r.html][/fmp-if]

while coming to that page let your token pass to that page according to the value of your specified field.

I use that to be able to see the different forms of the specified students.

I take the the list of the students and in an pop up menu I choose the name of the form. That value becomes the value of my token and bu pushinhg a go ( name:-find) button ( in a form ).

And my ifs specifies the htmls.
