Thread

I’m using structure on my website. Structure creates page uri’s for me. In EE 1.6.x I could append query strings to the end of my page uri and use php or a plugin to get the value of the query string variable.

http://www.website.com/url_title/?variable=value

In 2.x, I cannot do this. It seems as if /?variable=value is parse as a segment. Did this functionality change from 1.6.x to 2.x or is this a bug?

lockwesmonster,

I am asking the devs about this one and will respond here in this thread when I have a reply. Thank you for your patience.

Thanks John. Getting variables from url query strings have been CRUCIAL to the success of business, so much so that I would revert back to 1.6.x for their use.

Thank you for your patience. Our devs are looking into this.

Your server may/may not support it.  But it’s easy to find out- in your system/ee/config/config.php file- find

$config['uri_protocol']    = 'AUTO';

Try changing it to PATH_INFO- which is the most likely to work.  Double check your segs and your get array.  And if PATH_INFO doesn’t do it, REQUEST_URI or one of the others may.

PATH_INFO did the trick. Thanks a ton.

Woot!  And- looks like your question helped out a number of other folks as well.  😉
