The UrlGetParameters extension enables you to use and/or display the "GET" parameters of the URL, i.e. the query string, on the wiki page.

InstallationEdit

  • Download and place the file(s) in a directory called UrlGetParameters in your extensions/ folder.
  • Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php :
    wfLoadExtension( 'UrlGetParameters' );
    
  •   Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

UsageEdit

Caching for the page you use this extension on should be disabled.

To display the value of a URL get parameter in your page, you might do this:

{{#urlget:parameter-name}}

Where parameter-name is the name of the parameter whose value you want. If the parameter is not found, the extension will result in nothing. Alternatively, you can also specify a default value as follows:

{{#urlget:parameter-name|default-value}}

When the parameter parameter-name is not available, then the value default-value is returned.

If the URL contains parameters of the form "A[B]=C", you can display the value "C" in a similar way, by calling:

{{#urlget:A[B]}}
