Default CDML link back to list - 07-14-2004 , 04:24 PM






Using FMP6, CDML....

Typical set of format files: a search page which goes to a results page
which is a list of records, click on an item on the results page and you
go to a detail page. From the detail page you can go to an edit page,
which then returns you to the detail page.

Problem: once the user has gone through a detail/edit/detail cycle, then
using the web-browser's back arrow no longer takes them directly back to
the results list.

How do I make a link on the detail page that will bring the user back to
their results list (preferably to the same subset of the list that they
were last on if we are limiting results to say 10 records per page)?


Thanks,
Greg

When they bring the list page up, set a token to be the -find for that page

token.0=[FMP-Find]

Keep the token alive on all subsequent pages using [FMP-CurrentToken]

Make the link on each page <a href="[FMP-CurrentToken.0]" (or whatever the
correct syntax is - don't have my CDML reference in front of me)

Cheers
