How do I link a Index view to show the items in a Full Text view Author: Mitra mitra@earth.path.net

The right alias is _#ITEM_ID#.

For example, to show an item in a full text view, the view.php3 script should get the parameters like:

vid=110&cmd[110]=i-110-2548e4b7ae7b8874ee4a4bf

( the 'i' command to view.php3 script takes as argument unpacked (long) item id)

So if we pass the vid parameter directly in fulltext.shtml page:
fulltext.shtml:

<!--#include virtual="/aaa/view.php3?vid=110"-->

Which then needs us to pass the cmd parameter through url:

<a href="fulltext.shtml?cmd[110]=i-110-2548e4b7ae7b8874ee4a4bf"> fulltext </a>

So we can generate this by placing in the Odd rows field of an index view

<a href="fulltext.shtml?cmd[110]=i-110-_#ITEM_ID#"> fulltext </a>

If you want to link to a view appearing in the same place on the same page (as for the main index going to a full text), then if your Index view has vid=109 then the URL should be:

"?cmd[109]=i-110-_#ITEM_ID#"

which will redraw the same screen, replacing view 109 with view110, for the item specified.
