    Variable-Passing Wrapper Question

    Posted 17 years 5 months ago
    • I hate to ask a non-template-related question here, but this forum has always been much more helpful to me than the Joomla! forums. If anyone can help with this, I'd be much obliged!
      Let's see if I can state this clearly:

      The simple question is, can you define what page is opened through the wrapper using the URL? Is there a way to call google.com through a wrapper, for instance, without creating a wrapper menu item? I'm totally making this up, but perhaps www.domain.com/index.php?option=com_wrap...ttp://www.google.com .

      I need this because I want to send my customers "customized" links that open in a wrapper. Specifically, I need to open a variable-passing PHP file in a wrapper ( www.domain.com/form.php?email=customer@otherdomain.com , for instance). Is this possible? Would there be any other way to pass a variable into a PHP file in a wrapper?

      I hope that made sense, and I thank you very much for any help you can offer!

    • Assuming I understand you correctly, and being the lazy sod that I am, I would just create a wrapper menu item in a menu but have that menu published in a hidden module (user9 perhaps), then send my clients the link.

      (Note: I did give the smarter folk 2 days to provide a better answer :) )

    • Thanks, GollumX - I've done that many times before.

      This time, however, I'm going to be sending out about 60,000 e-mails, each with a custom link (*.php?email=someone@domain.com), for example. I really don't want to create 60,000 menu items if I don't have to... ;)

      Thanks very much!
