texte = THIS IS FOR THE NEXT BETA. IT WILL NOT WORK IN YOUR CURRENT BETA ----- Ken asked about differences between Mac and NT WebCatalog. Here's one more difference that can be handled with a global search and replace with BBEdit:In order to get suffix mapping on NT, you can't put a $command into a URL like so:/GeneralStore/Results.tmpl$search?db=xx.dbNT thinks the template name ends with .tmpl$search instead of just .tmpl, which causes it to ignore the suffix mapping for .tmplSo for the next beta we've added an alternate syntax for commands:/GeneralStore/Results.tmpl?command=search&db=xx.dbThis allows NT to see the .tmpl suffix, and thus sends the file to the proper ISAPI DLL ($WebCat.dll) to handle it. This also requires more changes to the registry, specifically a suffix mapping for .tmpl -> C:\inetsrv\Scripts\WebCatalog\$WebCat.dllReplace all occurences of $search? with ?command=search& and you should be set. Of course you have to do this for $purchase, $add, etc.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
