Hi,

Can anyone pls show me the light:

I am trying to use a url parameter like so: http://skully/portfolio/?view=list

which will be used to decide which news summarytemplate to show in my global content block like this:

{If $params['view'] == 'list'}
{news category="cat1" summarytemplate="summarylist"}
{else}
{news category="cat1" summarytemplate="summarygrid"}
{/if}

How do I get that parameter out the $params array and into my logic?

Awesome, thanks for any advice
Skully

I believe you need to use print_r

You need to modify your RewriteRule in .htaccess to let the "QUERY_STRING"-part be parsed by Apache.
