If an item is displayed on the search list (or order list) and there is a
link to a special page keyed on the item, MiniVend will attempt to build
the page ``on the fly''. It will look for the special page
flypage.html, which is used as a template for building the page. If
[item-field fieldname], [item-price], (etc.) elements are used on the page, quite complex and
information-packed pages can be built. The
[if-item-field fieldname]
HTML [/if-item-field] pair can be used to insert
HTML only if there is a non-blank value in a
particular field.
IMPORTANT
NOTE: Because the tags are substituted globally on the page, you cannot use
[item-*] tags on the default on-the-fly page. If you want to use a [search-region]
or [item-list] tag, change the default with the prefix parameter. Example:
[item-list prefix=cart]
[cart-code] -- title=[cart-data products title]
[/item-list]
If you want to have an on-the-fly page mixed in reliably, use the idiom
[fly-list prefix=fly code="[data session arg]"] [/flylist] pair.
prefix=label Allows [label-code], [label-description]
Defines an area in a random page which performs the flypage lookup function, implementing the tags below.
[fly-list code="[data session arg]"]
(contents of flypage.html)
[/fly-list]
If you place the above around the contents of the demo flypage, in a file
named flypage2.html, it will make these two calls display identical pages:
[page 00-0011] One way to display the Mona Lisa [/page]
[page flypage2 00-0011] Another way to display the Mona Lisa [/page]
If the directive PageSelectField is set to a valid product database field which contains a valid MiniVend page name (relative to the catalog pages directory, without the .html suffix) it will be used to build the on-the-fly page.
Active tags in their order of interpolation:
[if-item-field field] Tests for a non-empty, non-zero value in B<field> [if-item-data db field] Tests for a non-empty, non-zero B<field> in B<db> [item-code] Product code of the displayed item [item-accessories args] Accessory information (see I<accessories>) [item-description] Description field information [item-price quantity*] Product price (at B<quantity>) [item-field field] Product database B<field> [item-data db field] Database B<db> entry for B<field>
