Igor Vrdoljak	Friday 30 March 2007 4:21:41 pm Hi I need to pass parameters to edit templates, through URL. I have tried using view parameters, but as I can see, these are not supported in 3.8, and I am stuck with this eZ version for now. I have also tried using query string get parameters, extracting them with ezhttp, but the problem here is that edit templates called with .../content/edit/[content object id]?var=value redirect this call to .../content/edit/[content object id]/version and query string gets lost in this redirection. I have tried using HTTP_REFERER to get original url, but it seems that the variable is not set while redirecting, so no help there. Is there a way to pass custom parameters to edit templates, through URL, in Exponential versions prior to 3.9? Thnx http://www.netgen.hr/eng http://twitter.com/ivrdoljak

With some regex I'm sure you can get your variables from this string. <b>Notice from php.net about HTTP_REFERER:</b> The address of the page (if any) which referred the user agent to the current page. This is set by the user agent. Not all user agents will set this, and some provide the ability to modify HTTP_REFERER as a feature. In short, it cannot really be trusted. Good luck :) BuildCMS - Av.

Good luck :)
