| URL segment | Notes |
|---|---|
| http://www.example.org | Change www.example.org to your museum's domain name |
| /unicgi/mwebuni.exe | This specifies the URL is for the MWeb program. Replace Uni with the project code. |
| ?request=keyword | This is the request type, telling MWeb this is a keyword search |
| ;dtype=i | Add this parameter if you wish to search only records with images (see example 2) |
| ;keyword=yyy | Replace yyy with the keyword(s) to be searched. Do NOT use quotation marks. Separate multiple keywords with spaces, as in examples 3 and 4. |
| ;db=zzz | Optional: Replace zzz with the Database ID* to limit the search to one or more Databases; repeat this parameter for multiple Databases (see example 5). |
| ;ct=zzz | Optional: Replace zzz with the Subset ID* to limit the search to one or more Subsets; repeat this parameter for multiple Subsets (see example 6). ("ct" stands for "Content Type" for historical reasons.) |
* There is a link in the Project Parameters display to get the Database and Subset IDs, or if you do not have Administrator permission, use this URL: http://www.example.org/unicgi/mwebuni.exe?request=project
Examples:
1) http://www.example.org/unicgi/mwebuni.exe?request=keyword;keyword=basket 2) http://www.example.org/unicgi/mwebuni.exe?request=keyword;dtype=i;keyword=basket 3) http://www.example.org/unicgi/mwebuni.exe?request=keyword;keyword=annie oakley 4) http://www.example.org/unicgi/mwebuni.exe?request=keyword;keyword=rifles or guns 5) http://www.example.org/unicgi/mwebuni.exe?request=keyword;keyword=rifles;db=2;db=3 6) http://www.example.org/unicgi/mwebuni.exe?request=keyword;keyword=rifles;ct=5;ct=6
For Full Records, the URL consists of these parts; each segment is shown separately, for clarity, but they should be concatenated with no spaces in your link:
| URL segment | Notes |
|---|---|
| http://www.example.org | Change www.example.org to your museum's domain name |
| /unicgi/mwebuni.exe | This specifies the URL is for the MWeb program. Replace Uni with the project code. |
| ?request=record | This is the request type, telling MWeb this is a full record request |
| ;key=yyy | Replace yyy with the tablename and unique ID of the record, separated by a period |
Example:
In Release 2.0 and later, you may modify #3, the order in which individual records are sorted. Sorting is not case-sensitive. You may specify one field or more; see
http://www.example.org/unicgi/mwebuni.exe?request=record;key=object.157
Data may contain HTML tags if you wish. You might want to use HTML tags to italicize or bold certain words, to separate text into paragraphs, etc.
Here are the tags you are most likely to need:
| For character formating |
<b></b> (bold)
<i></i> (italics) <big></big> <small></small> <font></font> <sub></sub> (subscript) <sup></sup> (superscript) |
|---|---|
| For paragraph formating |
<br> (to start a new line)
<br><br> (to start a new line with a blank line before it) |
| For tabular information |
<table>
<tr></tr> <th></th> <td></td> </table> |
| Problem tags (do not use) |
<doctype>
<html></html> <meta></meta> <body></body> <head></head> <style></style> We do not recommend using paragraphs or divs because styles applied to the first paragraph or div in the field will not be applied to later paragraphs or divs: <p></p> <div></div> If in doubt, there is no harm in trying a tag and observing the results. |
