HI, I want to send a URL + parameters that would be created by an RG link to the DB entry for that row, so that I can show the URL on screen for the user to copy as text.
Sounds simple enough but has had me at it for hours. Somebody please, put me out my misery.
Hi @Tony_K sorry to hear of your misery. Just to be clear - the RG creates a link? I can help you with this but hope you can give a clearer explanation of what you’re doing.
I have a list of codes and values on one page. When I click the button in the row it goes to another page (the user account) and fills in the code and value inputs for the user, as you prescribed to me before. Thank you very much. Works a dream.
What I want to do now, as well as - is to pull that URL from the button before it’s even clicked, so, for example, I could put it in a Facebook post, OR an email. OR something else, that’s quite dramatic.
Does that help, somewhat?
NOt calling you ‘somewhat’ btw.
So if the URL is formed in the RG just save the value to the db. If the URL is in the browser there is an option called “This URL” that would save the val of the current URL.
IF this is not the solution, I will need to learn somewhat more of what you are trying to accomplish.
You have the what of the sum, right there, in totality. It’s the saving the URL to the database to which I’m having much of a to do with. So the url is always the same page, and the parameters are created in the on press workflow - how do i create the URL in a different workflow?
@Tony_K Yup; I’m confused.
Take it from the top.
The page URL is always the same, but above you say it goes to a different page.
So whatever the URL is - OK, got it.
The params are created dynamically, correct?
And you want to save the entire URL + params in a new db line?
SO if the URL is always the same, and you know what the params are going to be, simply save the two together, one (the URL) as static data and the params as dynamic.
No?
The params are created dynamically, correct? YES
And you want to save the entire URL + params in a new db line? YES
No? Yes!!!
My question: How would I do that , that’s the bit I am struggling with? You make it sound soo easy!
Create or change a new thing - field URLwithParams or whatever.
=
Type in the URL (Static) - then hover - the blue “Dynamic data” thingy will appear. Click that, and select the wherever the params are. Which raises the question - are they in an input field or a text field within the RG? Can’t say for sure without going to try it - but I’m thinking that if they are in a text field hat field won’t be an option… so maybe that’s the problem? If so, put them in an input field 1x1 pix and display them in a text field with initial value of the input - so that they display - but when you save them ref the input field.
Hope this makes sense?
Wonderful, yes, I think that does. I will give it a go right now. Thank you so much, again, for you r help!!!
