Portal newbie revisited

[Anders]

Hello

How do I include information from a portal with CDML?

I have created a portal whith much help from the portals forum. It works fine on my FM layout. But when I trie to inculde the information on my web page something goes wrong. What I am trying to do as follows.

In a form doing something like this:

[fmp-record]<option value="http:// ... &lay=Layout1&Keywords="And here I want the info from my portal to appeare"&-max=100&-find">"And here I want the info from my portal to appeare again"[/fmp-record]

For each <option... a new value from the portal should appeare. I have managed to do the same in another form on the same page. But not with info from a portal but from a regular field:

[fmp-record]<option value="http:// ... &lay=Layout1&Title=[fmp-field:title]&-max=100&-find">[fmp-field:title][/fmp-record]

I have created a One-One relationship between my two databases, so that if everything works correct all records from my second database should appeare in my portal. And they do, on my FM layout. I get the scroll bars and everything. I thought it would be possible to use CDML to make them appeare on my webb page too. But no luck this far.

Got to sleep now. It has been a long day.

Cheers, Anders

Look at using the [FMP-Portal][/FMP-Portal] tags. Check the 'CDML Reference' database.

All the best.

Well ...

And then came some whining. But then I found out that I made the classical error of mixing stuff up. The correct name and spelling can be magic. I tried to use the wrong portal! No wonder I got the wrong result all the time.

Silly me

PS Thanks Garry. The CDML db is always rihght but not always easy to understand.
