in the code below, I am using the article-list.php page to load the pdf's of articles and calling that page to load both the categories and the list. However, when I search by a category, I get "Page Not Found" error. When I don't use the search, the page loads fine. Example is posted here:

http://ocri.cognitionsmartsites.com/inv ... -database/

any thought? thanks

Hi,

The dropdown list in you search form is named 'f'.
So when the form is submitted after selecting a category, the URL called becomes e.g.
http://ocri.cognitionsmartsites.com/inv ... /index.php?f=27

That, if you recall, is how Couch invokes folder-views.

So, the problem is that the search URL is being mistaken by Couch for its canonical folder-view URL. Since, obviously, the folder it thinks is indicated by 'f' is not found, we get the 'not found' error.

As the rectification, please rename the dropdown to something else e.g. 'topic'.

Hope this helps.
