Thread

I am following the code on this page closely
http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/modules/channel/dynamic_parameters.html
to create a page with a form where the user selects a channel, orderby, sort etc.

The same template that has the form also has the channel:entries tag that reads the POST data. Each time the page is reloaded, the form values are reset to the initial states.

I would like them to reflect the POST data, so that the user remembers what they selected last time - rather than getting the same setting on every reload:

Is there some EE-native way of doing this? Or an extension for getting the form to read and display the POST settings it has posted to the same page?

I hope I have explained this clearly. Many thanks for any help!

Hi Wojtek D,

It’s not possible to do that out of the box with EE, but I searched Devot://ee and found four add-ons that let you work with Post data: GET and POST Variables, Access Post Variable, EvoPost and GET_POST_Var. Let me know if that helps you out.

Thank you, I ended up using Mo’ Variables to get data from the POST.

Glad you found a solution. Feel free to post again if you need more assistance.
