Re: adi_gps – Extract GET & POST variables

… if @adi_gps could store a variable semi-permanently it would help a lot.

Hi Peter. jakob & MattD are right in what they suggest (thanks guys). Either use a cookie (which may now have a pain-in-the-arse knock-on effect with the new EU legislation) or store the pertinent information of where to go back to in the URL. You can make up the URL & vars manually or perhaps adi_link may be of assistance.

It would be technically feasible to store data from URLs but it would have to be made session specific & then I’d effectively be reinventing cookies – and being British, I’d call them biscuits …

Re: adi_gps – Extract GET & POST variables

Guys, guys – this is the adi_gps forum thread!

I’m glad you sorted out the initial problem (which I wasn’t able to get to in time) but please discuss non-adi_gps issues elsewhere! Like here, if it’s about etc_query.

Re: adi_gps – Extract GET & POST variables

gomedia:

Sorry for the thread which started in one direction but then moved in another. I should have added that without your plugin getting to the solution would not have been possible. I will definitely be highlighting and featuring it in the “How To Filter Articles USing Drop Downs and Multi-Selects” Now all I need to do is write it. :)

Re: adi_gps – Extract GET & POST variables

Sorry for the unintentional flood, Adi and all, and thanks to Uli for keeping the forum clean. Everything between the problem statement and the final 4-5 posts can be safely trashed, I think.

Adi, can adi_gps import GET/POST arrays?

That’s a good question. The answer is probably yes & no. I’m sure it’ll try! adi_gps replicates individual URL vars into TXP variables, which by their nature are single (non-array) variables. I’ve never tried it & the end result might be horrible!

Not sure how the mapping would work anyway: URL var[0], var[1], var[2] -> TXP var_0, var_1, var_2 ?

In the above-mentioned discussion we needed to map var to var[0]%var[1]%.... So, you could introduce some glue attribute to implode arrays with.

I’ll look into it.

Re: adi_gps – Extract GET & POST variables

Hope someone could help me out, am in a desperate situation … have a look at my snapshot:

I am passing in an article’s title from a page to this form, but this HTML character always appears before the last word. If I manually change the variable, or use some other value when passing it to the form, it works absolutely fine. My charset is UTF-8, doctype is HTML.

Re: adi_gps – Extract GET & POST variables

If you’re using the txp:title tag: add no_widow="0" to it, else think about changing the widows pref.

Re: adi_gps – Extract GET & POST variables

Hello,

I have articles that have an “Enquire” about. When user hits that I need to populate a zem_contact form field with the title of that article. How can I go about getting it done with this plugin?

Appreciate any help or link to similar solution.
