A simple plugin to print out any get or post params from a form.

Print a single parameter:
{exp:parameters:get name=“job_id”} or {exp:parameters:post name=“job_id”}

Print multiple parameters:

{exp:parameters}
    {get_job_id}
    {get_foobar}
{/exp:parameters} 

Loop through a parameter that is an array:

{exp:parameters}
    <ul>
    {post_foobar}
        <li>{key} {value}</li>
    {/post_foobar}
    </ul>
{/exp:parameters} 

Biggest difference is the only way to get multiple parameters is to use the tag pair. You can add parse=“inwards” to the tag par if you have trouble with the parsing order.

There is a parameter “flatten_arrays=‘yes’”, which will take something like $_POST[‘key’] => ‘value’ and return the following: post_key_value. What purpose that might have to someone, I don’t know, but I added it when I was experimenting/having trouble with a form.

Latest version is 1.3

Updated the plugin to 1.2. Separated the things out into different methods to avoid parsing issues when using the single variable, and variable pair in the same template. Download latest at URL in original post.

Hi.  I am unable to get this plugin to work (Exp 1.6.8 on plugin version 1.2).  I get a “Notice: Undefined variable: v in xxxx/www/public_html/admin/plugins/pi.parameters.php on line 66” error.

Test commands used are:

{exp:parameters:get name="screen_name"}
{exp:parameters:get name="test"} 

Each was presented with a get query of the following, respectively:

http://localhost/community/members/?screen_name=jsmith
http://localhost/community/members/?screen_name=test

Yep, there was an undefined variable. Try downloading it again, or change line 65 from this:

if($name and $IN->GBL($v, 'GET')) 

to this:

if($name and $IN->GBL($name, 'GET'))

Can you post some sample code to show how this plugin actually works WITHIN a typical form setup / tags? I’ve been mucking around with this and I can’t get it work at all.

Also, could this plugin be used to pass a parameter from one page to another via the URL?

Cheers,
Nik

this returns nothing in my templates. however:

http://www.domain.com/template/article/&var=test 

does. is there a way to GET vars that are added to the url by questionmark ?

I am trying to use this in the forgot password form.

So I put this within the form

<input type="hidden" name="forgot_password_variable" value="true">
{exp:parameters post="forgot_password_variable"} 

Then in the specialty template: user messages, I put this code in to detect it

{exp:parameters:get name="forgot_password_variable"} 

it does not recognize it at all. From the previous responses, it was not clear how you actually implement this with a form.

Any help is appreciated.

Seems like Brian’s site is down, and going through google cache reveals the file doesn’t exist on the server…

Would be really useful to have this plugin just now smile

Can’t seem to get his working with the {exp:query}

Eg.

{exp:parameters}
{get_search_input}
{exp:query sql="SELECT *
                FROM exp_weblog_titles
                WHERE weblog_id = 2
                AND title LIKE '{get_search_input}'"}

<ul>
{exp:weblog:entries entry_id="{entry_id}"}
    <li>{title}</li>
{/exp:weblog:entries}
</ul>

{/exp:query}
{/exp:parameters} 

I’ve tried this:

AND title LIKE '%{get_search_input}%'"} 

this:

AND title LIKE '%"{get_search_input}"%'"} 

and this:

AND title LIKE '%%{get_search_input}%%'"} 

Still can get the nesting to work.

Any ideas?

Try adding parse=“inward” to the parameters tag.

I am unsure on how this works.

I have a SAEF, that returns to /post/thankyou

{exp:weblog:entry_form 
    weblog="ajax_form" 
    return="/post/thankyou" 
    status="Open"
} 

So I put {exp:parameters:post name=“title”} within that template, then within the /post/thankyou template I’ve tried the following to get the title value this plugin is suppose to post

{exp:parameters:get name="title"} 

and

<?php print $_GET['title']; ?> 

neither gets the posted variable title that the plugin posts

Same problem here. Plugin doesn’t seem to work with SAEF submitting?
