Passing Value From Results Page Without Using Query String?

[JayGuarnieri]

Due to my lack of techincal knowledge I'm using one of the many custom site building offerings. Unfortunately the ability to pass query strings in the URL is not available. Does anyone know of a workaround?

Hello Bobsgoodeye,

 

Do you want to pass parameters from a Results DataPage to another DataPage?

[JayGuarnieri]

Yes exactly. Results page to a details page on another page on the site.

 

Instructions here but uses query string in the url. This is where I'm stuck.

If I understand correctly, you can use AutoSubmit on Deatils page of your Results DataPage.

The idea is: a user clicks "View Details" on the Results DataPage, Details page is auto submitted and send parameters to "truly" Details DataPage.

 

Please follow the next steps:

On the Results DataPage, go to Details page and add fields that you want to pass as parameters, and then check "On Exit Pass field value as parameter" check-boxes for every of them.

Select for any field Form Element "Text Field", it allows you to select "Go to a DataPage" on the Destination page.

Then add Header and Footer element, add to Header the following code:

<div align="center">
<p>Processing...</p>
</div>

And add to the Footer the following code

<br />

<script type="text/javascript">

  if(document.getElementById("caspioform")) {

  document.getElementById("caspioform").style.display = 'none';

document.getElementById("Mod0EditRecord").focus;  

setTimeout('document.forms["caspioform"].submit()',1000); } 

</script>

On the Destination page select "Go to a DataPage" and select your Details DataPage. If you use embedded DataPages, select "Go to a new page" and enter the address of the page, where your Details DataPages is deployed.

 

I hope, it helps.

Thanks very much for the info. I'm looking at this now. Strange thing is anything I use in an html block or header/footer isn't getting rendered as html. It just appears as text.

If I understand correctly, you should click the Source button, then you can work with the HTML code.

Forget I mentioned that. . . .I'm an idiot. . Great, that seems to do the trick. I just need to figure out how to make it open on a new page as I'm using an HTML snippet rather than just embedded. Honestly though I think I might migrate to wordpress. Just too restrictive on the current platform.

I am glad my suggestion helped

As far as I know, if you use an iframe, you can select "Go to a DataPage" on the Destination page.
