multiple databases

[Dmitriy Katsman <dmk@acinc.com>]

******    message to minivend-users from Dmitriy Katsman <dmk@acinc.com>     ******

I tried everything... but just can't get it to work....
I am trying to use multiple product databases..

I included it in catalog.cfg

I listed it in ProductFiles

It finally got indexed....

Then in srchform.html I made it search for items in that specific file
(can I make it search all files???)

BUT... it doesn't display anything in results page... it just displays a
bunch of links to diff. search pages (like: found 3203 items, only 50
displayed)...
but nothing is actually displayed.. .

SO... i editted the results.html how it was described in docs:  replaced
[item-code] with [item-data xxxxx code] and [item-field title] with
[item-data xxxxx title] and did the same for all other fields... (where
xxxxx is my table... again... what do I do if I need this page to be
universal for any table??)

NOW... it doesn't even seem to recognize [item-data ... ] tags... it
just leaves them as it is... and displays them on the page without
change... my results page now looks like:



                      Matches 1-50 of 491 found.

                           Links to more matches:
                           1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Next

                      [item-data viking code] [sort]products:title
[/sort]



                                             [item-data viking title]
                                             For

                                             [item-data viking title]
                                             For

                      [item-data viking code] [sort]products:title
[/sort]

and so on.....
it doesn't seem to parse [item-data xxxx ... ] tags at all...

what I really need is to make minivend work with multiple product tables
without specifiying the table name at all... i.e. make it universal and
expandable.

Any help will be very appreciated,
Dmitriy
