How do you create page links with URL Parameters?

Duncan Kinnear

We're using PocketQuery with dynamic parameters to be able to define a page that displays the result of a query depending on a passed URL parameter.

How do I create links from other pages which pass different parameters to the same page?

For instance, I have a page called "Program Files" which lists programs defined in a database, but filters the list to only show programs that start with the passed 'letter' parameter.

So to list programs that start with 'a' I can reference a page (using the browser location bar) as "Program Files?pq_letter=a" and only the 'a' programs appear in the list.

So how do I create a link on another page to point to page "Program Files" with the parameter "?pq_letter=a"?

Hi Duncan,

Shouldn't this work with a normal web link like this?

You could also take the ID-based URL which is a little cleaner: /pages/viewpage.action?pageId=%yourPageId%&pq_letter=a

P.S. we just released PQ 2.0 which has a feature "dynamic load" that could come very handy for your dynamic parameters. You can find information here.
