Spiders, using button>input

[scottw]

I posted this inside of another thread but didn't get any response so I figured I would post in a new topic. Hope that's ok

Do you have to use button>input for the input text on a spider search page?
I made (*cough* copied from jowaldo) a spider search page for finding coverart for music. If I use button>input it automatically fills in the Artist Albumname which is cool but I only want it to automatically fill in the artist. I can do this using category>music>artist but then the spider does not seem to recognize it.
I know why the button>input defaults to "artist albumname" for me. It is the way I have my music imported. If I had it imported as c:\music\artist\album\track.mp3 all would be fine but I want mine as c:\music\artist\track.mp3 because I just want to see the tracks after I click on an artist, do not really care what album it is on. I assume the button>input gets populated from the database "itemname??" itself. In other words if I F2, Database and edit my music database I see:
Artist/Albumname
------Track1
------Track2

If I imported using the c:\music\artist\album\track.mp3 method I would have:
Artist
-Album
---Track1
---Track2

Is this making sense, I am even starting to confuse myself

Does anyone know of a way for me to make this work??

Right now I am using a popup keyboard to backspace out the albumname and it works fine but would like to not have to do that.


Thanks,

I don't know if this will work but can you try using the Xlobby\Set Input Text event and give it category>music>artist or %music>artist%?

good luck,

DUDE I have been hacking at this for hours with the Set Input Text. I tried every combination (category>music>artist, %artist%, etc...) except the right one, %music>artist%.

This shows my inexperience


Thanks so much,
