Results page is incorrect

I am having an issue on my results page.

From the home page: www.centurymachinery.com/default.php I have all the test products coming up the way I want them. But when I click on any product, it goes to the correct products_results page, but it lists them all.

Also, from the products_results page, if I click on one of the products, it goes to the products_detail page and shows the correct prodID= in the address bar, but the page is empty.

Appreciate any help.

the recordsets on your pages do not have any filtering.

you need to configure tho filter using the URL Variables that are being passed.

Jason,

I was able to fix the link under the menu tab "Products" so that the items go to the products_detail.php page and correctly populate the page.

But I realized that the list of products on the home page, should go directly to the products_detail.php page, not the results page.

So I changed the href in the following code on the default.php page to go to the products_detail page and the words: &search-Search are showing up in the URL, so it is not populating the page properly.

<a href="products_detail.php?prodName=<?php echo $row_rsProducts['prodName']; ?>&Search=Search"><?php echo $row_rsProducts['prodName']; ?></a>

Can you assist, please?

the link to the details page should pass the ProductID as a URL variable, not the product name

on the detials page, you should set the recordset to filter the ProductID column using the Product ID URL Variuable in the link.

I was able to figure out how to make the changes you said, but on the product_detail.php page I get this:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')' in /webroot/c/e/centu002/primary/www/products_detail.php on line 48

Line 48 refers to the $colname_rsProducts = ;

if (isset()) {
$colname_rsProducts = ;
}

Thoughts?

edit the recordset, use advanced view and edit the colname variable, set the run time variable to use the URL variable, for example if the URL Variable name is productID:
product_details.php?productID=4

then the run time value for the colname variable should be:
$_GRT['productID']

Jason,

Somehow, I had 3 Recordset (WADAproducts) in the Server Behavior panel. I deleted 2 of them and also deleted the syntax error I was getting on line 48:
if (isset()) {
$colname_rsProducts = ;
}

The page didn't crash, but I am still getting an empty page in the products_detail.php page.

I've attached a screen capture of the advanced view when I edit the rescordset.

Funny thing...I have the items on the home page: http://centurymachinery.com/default.php go to the products_detail.php page and the page comes up blank. On the menu page "Products", I have those items also go to the products_detail.php page and they come up except they are all showing product 1.

Any thoughts?

I'll need to troubleshoot directly, see the private message section.
