Hi,
I plan to have a page that list all weblog contributions of each user.

To do this, I plan to build a simple page that list entries from all weblog with parameter username=“x”.
Where x should be the variable passed from the previous page.
For example on the frontpage, I can see an article with authorname. When user click on authorname, it would be a link that the next page would use to add it to username=“x”.

Is this possible ? If yes how ?

Thanks in advance,
Brakkar

Use URL segments, something like http://example.com/index.php/display_author/steven/ and then use {segment_2}.

Ok,
so if what I understand is correct:

I would have created a template called “display_author” .

When going to http://example.com/index.php/display_author/anyname/ , even if the template “anyname” doesn’t exist, it will use the previous segment for template (which exists) “display_author” . In display author, any {segment_2} code will be replaced by the value of anyname.

Is this correct ?

Cordially,
Brakkar

Yes, or anything else. Could be another URL segment, in fact. But let’s assume it’s a template. So to cover everything, you should perhaps include a templategroup. http://example.com/index.php/site/display_author/anyname/.

When going to http://example.com/index.php/display_author/anyname/ , even if the template “anyname” doesn’t exist, it will use the previous segment for template (which exists) “display_author” . In display author, any {segment_2} code will be replaced by the value of anyname. Is this correct ?

Why don’t you just try it? URL segments are explained in the userguide in quite some detail.
