Passing variable to page.php?

[pimpmaster]

This is a follow up to my earlier post, http://nicecoder.com/community/showthread.php?t=5829.

Now I would like to call a custom page with a variable, sort of like: http://www.domain.com/page.php?id=pa...pecial_id=1840

I´m trying to do this with a custom block adding "special_id" as a parameter in the block <%block_myblock special_id="$special_id" max_item="1"%>.

But I only end up with a blank page. Well, not really blank as I get the rest of the template, but not the block information. I tried the SQL from the block-code in the query window in admin and that works.

Please help...

Hmm, as a guess i would say you need to change page.php slightly, include this :

$special_id = $_request[special_id];

and then change line 29 to this :
DisplayTemplate($theme_path . $id . '.html', "\$special_id");

the changes to page.php will be similar to this :

 $bad_templates = array('\.\.', 'http://', 'https://', 'file://', 'php://');
  if (!ereg(implode('|', $bad_templates), $id) && file_exists($theme_path . $id . '.html')) {
$special_id = $_request[special_id];
    DisplayTemplate($theme_path . $id . '.html', "\$special_id");
  }

place the code <%$special_id%> into the template to test it, as soon as a number appears then your block code will work, its jsut a case of making sure the variable is moved to your page correctly.
