Plugins with dynamic data

Hi, Just a quick one. I've trawled the forums for an answer but cannot find anything

I have a news page on my site

http://www.crieffhighlandgathering.com/site/news/index.php

on this site is a dynamic plugin which pulls information from 2 different pages - news and archived news

Both buttons work as needed:-

?news=news
?news=archive

now the issue I am having is on each of the plugin pages there is a dynamic menu which pulls the info for the reader to select and read. this info is pulled from the database using

<a href="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>?Sub_title=<?php echo $row_rsFeed['Sub_title']; ?>">


I am not sure how to correct this in the URL to read from the subtilte value to pull in the news report.

i have tried adding ?news=news before the ?Sub_title and the URL reads this as correct but no info is shown on the page.

Do I need to change the recordset??


Thanks

Andy

to add the news URL variable to the link, use:

<a href="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>?news=<?php echo(isset($_GET['news'])?$_GET['news']:""); ?>&Sub_title=<?php echo $row_rsFeed['Sub_title']; ?>">

Thanks Jason

Works a treat

Andy

you're welcome.

Hi Jason.

How can I access the link from my main index page

i have changed the <?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?> to /site/news/index.php so this accesses the page, but i am not sure how to access the plugin and then the news item

So for instance I click on a news item on my home page, this then opens my news page and should be then re directed to my plugin and the appropriate news item within that plugin.

Sorry to be a pain..

Andy

I dont follow. please provide ore details on the problem.

Hi Jason,

I think I've sussed it out.

I added the following to the home page link

/site/news/index.php?news=news

and this seems to work, although I did try this earlier and it failed miserably

Ok, glad to hear it is working.
