Hi !

 

Can we get a tag or some tags to display querystring parameters or posted form values?

 

Something like:

 

<!--@Page:Request.Querystring.Param1-->

 

or

 

<!--@Page:Request.Form.Field1-->

 

-Emil

I can thing of about one million cases where I could have used that in the past. Great suggestion, I vote for that:)

Thats an excellent idea.

 

Implemented it right away - like this:

 

Server:Request(param) which would be both querystring and form values...

 

param is allways lower case.

 

Release with the update in 10 days.

Is it based on Base.Request, so it also includes cookies and server variables, like we discussed a couple of weeks ago in this thread http://developer.dynamicweb.dk/Forum-17061.aspx?action=ShowThread&ThreadID=677?

Well - not exactly...

 

The feature, as it is now, iterates through the keys in Request.Form and Request.Querystring and gets the values using Base.Request.

 

So writing Server.Request.var is not a lookup for the var using Base.Request. There is a difference.

 

So would the latter be a better way?

It would be cool, but I don't remember that many cases where I needed to present these values in a template.

One thing that would be really cool, though, which is also somewhat related to this, is if we could have a similar tag method for session and application variables:)

This method might give unexpected results. If i expect a value from form or querystring collection and the same var is also in server or cookies i can get a different value?

Thought it was @Server:Request(varname), but just found out it works with  @Server:Request.varname.

 

Thanks a million guys!

Hi Emil

 

And thank you for sharing your idea.

 

My first implementation was Server:Request(varname), but I changed it to look more like other template tags.

 

The tag is described here:
