User specified parameters
These documentation pages are no longer maintained. Please visit the new documentation site.
Available in 3.4 and higher
User specified parameters offer a simple way to pass values in the URL to template variables. This feature is enabled by default.
To disable this feature override ControllSettings -> AllowUserVariables in template.ini :
[ControlSettings] AllowUserVariables=false
Syntax
User specified parameters are specified at end of url, and are supported when using url alias, nice urls, etc. Syntax :
http://host/path/(param_1)/value_1/(param_2)/value_1
The parameters param_1 and param_2 are now available in the templates in the variables : $view_parameters.param_1 and $view_parameters.param_2.
Usage
A regular URL might looks something like this :
http://ez.no/community/bug_reports
Sending a user specified parameter called filter with value new requires this URL :
http://ez.no/community/bug_reports/(filter)/new
The parameter filter can now be used in the templates. Ex:
{let bug_list=fetch( 'content', 'list', hash( 'parent_node_id', 400, 'attribute_filter', array( array( 'bug/status', '=', $view_parameters.filter ) ) ) )}
The user parameters are used in the cache keys, so unique user parameters will produce unique cache instances.
