using parameter passed in url

  • It looks like I ought to be able to use a parameter passed in the url, i.e. example.com/page?id=”123″ and pass that id on to the display.

    What I’m trying to do is setup a page that displays, for instance, YouTube videos with the YouTube id as a passed parameter. Even better if I can use it as a parameter to another shortcode to use a fancy video display plugin like [arve https://youtube.com/watch?v=%5Bpassed=id%5D%5D

    I’ve tried all sorts of combinations and while I can get the passed parameter to display on the page, I can’t figure out how to actually use it in a url or secondary shortcode.

    Any ideas would be most appreciated.

    Hi,

    Is your issue already solved?

    If so, please post your solution and mark this topic resolved. If not, this worked for me:

    URL: https://www.yourdomain.com/test-page/?yt_id=x0VPKGyRXR4

    [pass global=query fields=yt_id] 
[if pass='{YT_ID}' empty=false]
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/{YT_ID}" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
[else] No YT-ID found... [/if] 
[/pass]
