[/ShowNext]There's nothing wrong with your ShowNext syntax.Just a couple of minutes ago I crashed my Mac, and it was definitely related to the [searchString] because that's the link I clicked that made it crash. Only one thing ... I was still using version b10 of the plugin. Apparently I never moved up to b11 or b12, although I downloaded them both.Okay wait a minute ...Now I'm using the b12 plugin and I cannot get it to crash, but it still inserts the duplicate template string I told Grant about last week when I found that particular problem. The problem was that WebCat2 was duplicating and inserting an extraneous search parameter identifying the template, for example:&template=:WebCatalog:listingResults.tmplThis string already appears in the original search string, but it is inserted again and again each time a new [shownext] link is clicked. However, my Mac is not crashing anymore even though it is still inserting these extraneous strings.This reminds me, once in a while earlier in my testing, something must have corrupted WebCat while I was using it, and that created problems until I replaced it with a fresh copy - not a different version, mind you, just a copy of the same version I was already using.Don't forget to try replacing it with a fresh copy if you suddenly start having strange problems that weren't there before ...By the way, which version of the beta are you using? Are you using the plugin or the CGI?
