Re: Re: [mv] url not found when using mv_orderpage to display search page
****** message to minivend-users from Ed LaFrance <newmedia@newmediaems.com> ******
What you might want to try is to read the item code for the item just
ordered, and use it in an in-page search on your orderpage. The big
question is whether minivend will remember the last item ordered in
mv_order_item from page to page - otherwise you may have to capture the
item code in another hidden form variable. I am going to guess it won't, so
in the first order form you would want to include a tag like:
<input type=hidden name=last_item_ordered value="[item-code]">
You will want to use [process-target] as you form action. Then you could
set mv_orderpage to some other page (call it next_page), and in next_page do:
<form action="[process-target]" method=post>
...
...
...
[search-region arg="
se=[value last_item_ordered]
sf=(whatever)"]
[search-list]
<input type=hidden name=mv_order_item value="[item-code]">
[/search-list]
</form>
This is untested, but it should be workable once debugged. If the
item-code of the last item is not the actual search spec, then you would
have to retrieve the necessary data column from the database, like
se=[data products the_column_needed [value last_item_ordered]]
or
se=[data base=products field=the_column_needed key=[value last_item_ordered]]
Good Luck
