texte = Hi. Seeking help regarding [WriteFile]; details follow:I'm creating entry pages for product categories. The idea (to renew a threadfrom several weeks ago) is to provide spider food about the productsavailable at our online store.However, I am not sure I'm using [WriteFile] correctly, since I need to reloadthe entry page twice in order to view the results! Here are the steps taken so far:(1) created link from another page that searches the catalog.db for productsfrom the desired category. For example: CATEGORY1(2) created a template (ex: CATEGORY1.tmpl) for the product category. Thetemplate is very similar to the SearchResults.tmpl used in the General Storeexample, except for the use of [WriteFile]: [writeFile file=CATEGORY1.tmpl&secure=F][Include file=/Globals/store_header.inc&cart=[cart]]

Welcome to the CATEGORY1 entry page.

[foundItems] [Title] [Synopsis] Tellme more... [/foundItems] [Include file=/Globals/StoreFooter.inc&cart=[cart]] [/writeFile](3) then tried the link out, to discover that I have to reload in order toview the results properly. I assume this has to do with [WriteFile] being used improperly?Any advice...plus tips and tricks on creating spider food entrypages...would be greatly appreciated! I'd love to see examples of what otherson the list are doing along these lines...TIA,Dale Stokdykwww.me2u.comRomantic Gifts from Around the World Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
