I'm above average when it comes to learning things, as I suspect everyone on this list is, but I encountered stumbling blocks that weren't answered in the documentation.With the 3.0 manual, PCS please, work out something with Ken Grome to do a special section explaining, in user-friendly terms as he does so well, how it all works.For you Jim, here's what made it finally click for me. Maybe it will help you too. As per a talk-list suggestion, I put[formvariables] [name] = [value]
[/formvariables]on every page as I develop, as well as on the WebCat sample templates when I analyzed them. This shows the variables passed along and available on the new page. Using this simple tip and careful observation, the concept of passing variables from page to page finally became clear, and with that mystery resolved, I've been well on my way.Terry Wilson terry@rainbowcreek.comTerry Wilson terryw@rainbowcreek.com Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
