Hi all,

I'm new to October and Laravel. According to Pages, I should be able to retrieve a url parameter and then reference that variable. However, while I can see that the variable does have a value using echo on my page, it's not being set in the plug-in. The plug-in in question is here. An example url in this case is http://localhost:8888/laravel_photo/gallery?collection=TEST_GALLERY_2

title = "GALLERY"
url = "/gallery"
layout = "default"

[Gallery]
idGallery = ":my_album"
markup = "user"
slug = "{{ :slug }}"

==
<?
function onStart()
{
    $my_album = strtolower($_GET['collection']);
}

?>
==
<div class="wrapper">
    <h3>{{gallery.name}}</h3>
    <div class="cp-sidebar-content gallery">
        <ul>
        {% for image in gallery.images %}
            <li>
            <img title="{{image.title}}" alt="{{image.description}}" src="{{ image.path }}"></a>
            </li>
        {% endfor %}
        </ul>
    </div>
</div>

I've also tried idGallery = "{{ :my_album }}".

Thanks!

Just try this:

title = "GALLERY"
url = "/gallery/:slug"
layout = "default"

[Gallery]
markup = "user"
slug = "{{ :slug }}"
==
<div class="wrapper">
    <h3>{{gallery.name}}</h3>
    <div class="cp-sidebar-content gallery">
        <ul>
        {% for image in gallery.images %}
            <li>
            <img title="{{image.title}}" alt="{{image.description}}" src="{{ image.path }}"></a>
            </li>
        {% endfor %}
        </ul>
    </div>
</div>

If you call http://localhost:8888/laravel_photo/gallery/TEST_GALLERY_2, ":slug" should get replaced with "TEST_GALLERY_2".

Note: you should provide idGallery OR slug to the Gallery component, noth both.

thanks @mjauvin for this! This does make sense to me; however, it doesn't seem that TEST_GALLERY_2 for instance is being interpreted as the slug. Is there configuration (i.e. callback functions, etc) I need to do for the slug to be parseable from the url? When I try to display the slug, it's empty, so it appears it is not being set.

It's worth noting that if I hardcode idGallery=test_gallery_2 I get the desired response but slug=test_gallery_2 doesn't output anything. Also, the slugs are the same as the gallery names in my case so there's nothing sneaky there.

The example I'm using is this:

title = "GALLERY"
url = "/test/:slug"
layout = ""

[Gallery]
markup = "user"
slug = "{{ :slug }}"

<body>

    <h1> {{ slug }}</h1>

    <div class="wrapper">
        <h3>{{gallery.name}}</h3>
        <div class="cp-sidebar-content gallery">
            <ul>
            {% for image in gallery.images %}
                <li>
                <img title="{{image.title}}" alt="{{image.description}}" src="{{ image.path }}"></a>
                </li>
            {% endfor %}
            </ul>
        </div>
    </div>

</body>

Cheers!

Then just use:

idGallery = "{{ :slug }}"

instead of

slug = "{{ :slug }}"

HAHA I stared a little too hard right past that one. Easy. Thanks again. Got it working as desired.
