Technote Details :: Using NeXTensio and MX Includes

My application uses includes in the main site page in order to access all other files. The same approach is used in the administrative area, which uses NeXTensio lists and forms. The list page is included just fine, but when a link or button in the list is pressed it opens the form page, without including it in the main page.

• Products: NeXTensio, MX Includes

• Operating System: All.

• Server Models: All.

• Dreamweaver version: any.

This happens because the form file is set in the Create NeXTensio List Wizard user interface, at step one. Based on the file you specify in the wizard, all links on page are created. Therefore, if you specify in the list wizard the file form as being the file where the form is located, even though the main list is included in the main page, it will not display.

In order for the NeXTensio list and form to function when used together with MX Includes, when creating the list, in the wizard's user interface set as form page the site's main page (the one that will include all others) with all additional parameters that must be passed in order for the form to be displayed.

For example, if using the index file to include a list and a form, based on the mod parameter (mod=list and mod=form), in the Create NeXTensio List Wizard, the first step, set as form file index.ext?mod=form. This way, the form will be loaded when appropriate.
