Re: problem using ErrorMessages.db to redirect requests
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 2004
It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 59925
interpreted = N
texte = I much prefer to keep complex code like this in an include file, so the errormessages.db would have a much simpler entry like this: TemplateNotFound [include (your include file)] This way you can modify the include file without having to mess with the errormessages.db, which makes debugging and site changes easier. I see a missing "]" in the "[showif [numfound=0]" near the end... Did you restart WebDNA after modifying the errormessages.db? This may be necessary to ensure that WebDNA sees the changes. - brian On Nov 7, 2004, at 12:22 PM, eLists wrote: > Hello, > > I have a site I just moved from 4.51 to 6.0 on linux.
