It's easy to create some code that does this in Zope. Create a ZSQL method that does a select on your database. Then drag down the products menu and add a "Z Search Interface." It will prompt you for the name of a search document and a report document and will automagically create a results page that does just what you're looking to do. We use this as a quick and dirty way to write a search interface and then go hack up the code to make it look the way we want. The "size" attribute of the dtml-in tag of the results page is where you tweak how many you want on a page. - Chris On Thursday, October 16, 2003, at 04:37 PM, Lalo Castro wrote:
Hi, I'm building a database interface in Zope. We are using Zope 2.6, Python 2.1.3, and the database is in PostGreSQL 7.3.3. The problem I am having is trying to search the database and return a set number of entries. Like how Yahoo! returns 25 possibilities in it's search per page. Or how Google returns 10. I'd like to know how to code it so that a database search returns a set number of entries found, and can make pages with multiple entries if there's more than the set number of entries on a page. Anyone have any ideas? -- Lalo Castro Programmer/Analyst McHenry Library (831) 459-5208
