I have a database that contains a list of hyperlinks with ids and a column
that contains a counter for the number of times the link has been clicked on
my site. Any time I present a link from this table to the user, I would
like modify the link to a) open in a new window and b) increase the counter.
I know how to accomplish this in html and php code, but I don't know how to
use the interface to accomplish this.
For example, each link's hyperlink would look something like this in the
resulting page:
<a href="go.php?site=http://www.yahoo.com" TARGET="_top">Visit Yahoo</a>
<a href="go.php?site=http://www.hp.com" TARGET="_top">Visit HP</a>
<a href="go.php?site=http://www.google.com" TARGET="_top">Visit Google</a>
The link portion (http://www.yahoo.com, for example) will be pulled from the
database. All of the other tag information has to be wrapped around each
one.
The go.php script contains the code that will update the counter in the
database.
Anyone have any ideas on how to accomplish this in the CodeCharge Studio
IDE?

In the BeforeShow event of the link control, you can put in code to modify
the link any way you like.
Assuming the link control is named "Link1" then http://www.yahoo.com will
be in Link1->Link and you can use that as as basis for building the new
value that you would then stuff back into the Link property.

Oh, and, you will need to change the datasource for the link from "Database
Column" to "Code Expression"

Well, I'm really getting myself in trouble this time. Seems PHP is
different than ASP syntactically for the Link property. Use
Link1->Setlink(url). And, so that it opens in a new window, just set (at
design time) the "target" to "_top" or whatever you like. Yout can't change
that a runtime. If you want the choice of new window or not, then you'll
have to put two links on the page and make one visible and the other one not
visible (visibility CAN be changed at run time). Put the "_top" target in
one. Then you can choose whiehever one you want at run time. In you case
it sounds like you don't need to change this at runtime, and if this is the
case you can stick with just one Link and hardwire the target for it.
