hi,

i have a search results page which is working just fine. The problem is that I'm trying to provide a link for each retrieved record. This link would provide more in depth information. However, when I test the link, I only get the first portion of the page, but none of the field will show. Here's my code for the link. Maybe I'm missing something...

[FMP-RECORD] <b>[FMP-FIELD: Category]</b><BR>

[FMP-PORTAL: event] <a href="[FMP-LinkRecID: format=detail.htm]">[FMP-FIELD:

event: ate]</a>--[FMP-FIELD: event::Course]--[FMP-FIELD: event::Location]<BR>

[/FMP-PORTAL]<BR>

[/FMP-RECORD]

Not sure how [link] is going to work within a portal. Have you tried it with just a normal, non-related dataset?

Also, be sure you put single quotes around your field names, etc.

i had the feeling that fm wouldn't do anything that fancy. but i'm new to it, so i had to check. i'll just find another way. thanks anyway! oh, how i wish i could use coldfusion...

I have record detail links in portal records........I just use standard URL record links i don't use FMP-LinkRecID (obviously as i use Lasso )........why would you want to use cold fusion?:: buy lasso quicker and soooo much easier to use!!

eg

[Portal: 'relationship']

<a href="Action.lasso?-database=databasename&-layout=layout&-response=responsepage.lasso&-operator=eq&myexactmatchfield=[Field: 'relationship::myexactmatchfield']&-operator=eq&myotherexactmatchfield=[Field: 'relationship::myotherexactmatchfield']&-operator=eq&regno=[Field: 'relationship::regno']&-Search">[Field: 'relationship::regno']</a>

---FIELDS RELATING TO THE RECORD ETC--

[/Portal]

the syntax is a little different with CDML but it will work
