Thanks Geoff and Andrew Used your mods Andrew, and they work perfectly for my app :-) Passing a structure in that way seems to cause minimum fuss with the core (a couple of changes) but also offer a great deal of flexibility. Rather than modifying a core rule I created a custom one. I am happy, more important my boss is happy - great work guys!

Though there has been some discussion about passing params to rules from the calling page, containers are not designed to work like that. You need to re-write the rule to pick up on page specific variables. For example, on any object invocation you get the object properties copied to the reserved request.stobj scope. Use this to determine the categories to filter by. We're looking at modifying containers to take parameters but this won;t happen until the 2.4 milestone timeframe. -- geoff http://www.daemon.com.au/ --- You are currently subscribed to farcry-dev as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Aussie Macromedia Developers: http://lists.daemon.com.au/ *********** Confidentiality and Disclaimer Statement ***************** The information in this e-mail and any attachments are confidential and may be subject to legal professional privilege.
