Hi, I did not realize you had not finished, which is why I added it to the template category and added the additional sub template for it. davide 00:32, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Techie question
I can make a direct external link from the fswiki to the fhl using:

"http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titledetails&amp;titleno=782195&amp;disp=Abergele+parish+registers%20%20&amp;columns=*,0,0"

I would like to make a similar direct link to a specific batch on the IGI. Is this possible??? For example:

"http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=igi/search_IGI.asp&amp;clear_form=true" and then specify "region=british isles" and "batch=C090161".

If it's possible could you give me the full syntax? bromaelor 11:57, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Well, it is possible to do what you have asked. However, I do not believe the intent was really to allw the search results to really be opened up one to link to. http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/customsearchresults.asp?region=2&amp;batch_number=C090161&amp;LDS=1 As you notice, it is missing the framework especially on the top and left sides. I would guess the FamilySearch folks would not like that. Thomas Lerman 12:39, 26 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks Thomas. I was hoping just to be able to send people to the full IGI search page with the Batch Number automatically inserted for them. bromaelor 13:55, 27 November 2008 (UTC)


 * No problem. If they are talked to, they may consider making a change. However, that does seem unlikely . . . As I think about it, this will all change in the future. Thomas Lerman 15:06, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
