Number nav for viewing records

Hello;
I created a numbered navigation for cycling through DB records. When I created it, it was based on catagoryID. There were a number of catagories and this would put a navigation under the records like this:
1 | 2 | 3| more> The word Previuos would appear if you got into the records. The nav will also grow automatically if the records grew, (more we added)

Now I am changing things on this "app" I am not using catagories, but want it to just cycle through the records placing 10 records on the page at a time, and only using the ID from teh DB records to cycle through. I changed the code and it is erroring out on me now. Here is the code I am using:

<cfset CurrentPage=GetFileFromPath(GetTemplatePath())>
<cfparam name="PageNum_GetRecord" default="1">
<cfquery NAME="tracking" datasource="#sitedatasource#" username="#siteUserID#" password="#sitePassword#">
SELECT ID, REMOTE_ADDR, HTTP_USER_AGENT, TRACK_DATE
FROM tracking
WHERE ID = #ID#
ORDER BY ID
</cfquery>

<cfparam name="startRow" default="1">
<cfparam name="maxRows" default="10">
<cfset numRows = tracking.recordCount>
<cfif startRow gt numRows><cfset startRow = Max(startRow-maxRows,10)></cfif>
<cfset endRow = Min(Evaluate(startRow + maxRows - 10),numRows)>

<body>
<cfoutput query="tracking" STARTROW="#StartRow#" maxRows="#maxRows#">
#all my output is in here#
</cfoutput>
<cfmodule
template="../CFdocs/pageNav.cfm"
totalItems="#numRows#"
numPerPage="#maxRows#"
startRow="#startRow#"
url="#cgi.script_name#?ID=#ID#&startRow=#startRow#">

My error is the following:

Variable ID is undefined.


The error occurred in C:\websites\108392zj7\admin\tracking.cfm: line 7

5 : <cfset CurrentPage=GetFileFromPath(GetTemplatePath())>
6 : <cfparam name="PageNum_GetRecord" default="1">
7 : <cfquery NAME="tracking" datasource="#sitedatasource#" username="#siteUserID#" password="#sitePassword#">
8 : SELECT ID, REMOTE_ADDR, HTTP_USER_AGENT, TRACK_DATE
9 : FROM tracking


Can anyone help me figure out what it is I am missing and why my ID is not difined?

Thank you

Hi Phoenix,

I've got 1 question.

In your query

SELECT ID, REMOTE_ADDR, HTTP_USER_AGENT, TRACK_DATE
FROM tracking
WHERE ID = #ID#

Where does the #ID# come from?

You're also saying that "it is the ID in the DB that is assigned for each record".

What is actually generating the #ID#?

Is everything inside a <cfloop query="qGetID"> ... </cfloop>??

In this case it explains why you're getting an error "Variable ID is undefined" because in your code nothing is generating the #ID#

It's also a good practice to specify the scope of your variables e.g. variables.ID, form.ID, url.ID, etc

I've tried a similar example with Next, Previous links and it's working fine.

Here is the code below.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Yogesh

The problem is here: WHERE ID = #ID#

Where are you defining a value for ID? Is it a form variable? You may need to define the scope, for example form.id or url.id

No this is not a form variable, it is the ID in the DB that is assigned for each record. What do I change it to to make this work. It is one page that will diplay 10 records at a time, then instead of hitting a next button, it has a numbered nav under the records breaking them down to 10 records per number. So basically it is one page doing all the work and when you click the number, I guess it would use the url id to make the records go to the next page of 10.
