Passing parameters for article content via url
Posted: Thu Sep 13, 2007 11:21 am
Hi,
I am new to Joomla and am quite impressed. I am trying to migrate to Joomla a php site, where I frequently generate pages where content is based on parameters passed via the url (e.g. company_profile.php?name=IBM) and data is pulled from a database to generate the company profile.
From what I have learned so far, it is possible to include php code in the body of an article (e.g. by using the includePHP plugin), but I haven't yet found a way of passing parameters via a hyperlink.
Ideally I would like to have a list of companies with hyperlinks that point to their profiles.
Would any one have a suggestion how this can be done, or guide me to material that I could read?
Thanks,
Max
