I'm trying to build a simple 'search by brand' link in 6.50 by using

/shopquery.asp/mfg=sony

The mfg field is fully populated. However it does not seem to work in the shoppageheader.htm file where I need it.

Can you run shopquery.asp from html files? I don't understand why it doesn't work.

Thanks,
Andy

it'll work; all you need to do is add:

&search=Yes

to the end, and change your second slash to a question mark, eg:

shopquery.asp?mfg=sony&search=Yes

even though it's in shoppageheader.htm, that htm file isn't parsed as an html file as it's embedded within vbscript functions at a higher level, so it's still treated like an asp file despite it's extension being html

Ok, I've tried adding the '&search=Yes', so the link is:

shopquery.asp?mfg=sony&search=Yes

But the result is the same, no products returned.

We have a set up where all of our real products are child products of a parent product (which you cannot buy) - http://www.baselinemarine.com.

Would this be the reason it doesn't work? Btw, the top sellers and featured products do not link properly either. I wonder if its the same reason?

Thanks,
Andy

I think that'd be the case, ie that you need to add the mfg values to the parent product too because shopdisplayproducts.asp won't search on sub-products from what I remember (although I might be wrong)

Yep, it is. I've just gone into the database and checked the field type, etc. and that all looks fine.

I've tried various tests and used other fields but still it either returns nothing or all of the products in the database.

Tearing my hair out now..

Cheers,
Andy

Hi

Are you using default vp database? From your other posts I think maybe you have something upgrade? Have you spke with hosts about looking at their settings?

I check my machine and it work ok.

Maybe support help out for this one?

Sorry I not able to help but tests with my 6.00 version work ok. Maybe 6.50 work differently? I will download copy and have a look. Maybe something simple?

Turns out the products table had upgraded incorrectly, most of the fields had been set to 'nvarchar', which is not searchable.

I changed the fields to 'varchar' and now shopquery.asp works fine.

However, the topsellers and advanced search do not work. Try searching for anything and I get this error:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e14'

[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'Like'.

/shop$db.asp, line 615

To replicate the error: http://www.baselinemarine.com/shopsearch.asp

Best wishes,
Andy

Hey Andy,

How did u do the upgrade? Did u use the VPASP upgrade scripts? pretty sure there shouldn't be any data type changes if the convert650 tool is used properly.

Maybe try adding a response.write in shop$db.asp before the line that your getting an error on to see what the sql query is...

Might be able to help if we know what query your trying to run.
