URL Parameter Passing

[digger149]

I have modified the main page to limit the number of categories displayed in the central column, with a <click here to see the full list> button. I need to pass a parameter in the URL, eg ?display=full_list when the button is clicked.

The problem is that the parameter is not being picked up by the receiving page


Can anyone give me a clue as to why this doesn't work and what I can do to make it work ? I have tried defining the variable as GLOBAL, but this didn't work.

The site is still under develelopment (I am concentrating on functionality rather than looks at the moment! ) , but you can see it at www.soluka.com

Many thanks

Post the entry that you are attempting to use and the file name & location in the file where you are attempting to place it

Its on the main page. I am trying to use the parameter in the
TPL_INDEX_CATEGORIES
section to limit the number of manufacturers or categories.
What I am doing is using this variable to modify the select statement to include all categories or limit them to those with a sort_order of less than 50.

At the moment, on the site (www.soluka.com) I am displaying the passed parameter to check, but its blank.

Thanks

Hi, welcome to Zen-Cart's forum.

Would it be possible to post this code block with the variable you're using ? It would be easier for support.

Just in case anyone is following this, I worked it out......
use $_GET('param_name') instead of just relying on param_name to be there

Ahh ! now I know what you were looking for:

zen_get_all_get_params(array('your_action_query', 'action')) 

change the your_action_query word with your specific action target query.
