Updating a part of page content when a URL changed. (without plugin)

[rio]

I am trying to update a part of the page content in conjunction with the URL. But the updating the page works only when I click on browser “back/forward” button. Here is the example page.
https://dynatale.com/version-test/edit-test1/collection1

Please note the browser URL window is changing when the button is clicked. Group named “Collection1” is supposed to be visible when the URL consists of “collection1”.

I used a simple javascript to update the URL.

I know I can update the whole page via “Open an external website”. But this is not good in terms of UX. I also trying to achieve this function without a plugin such as “Sudsy page”. (btw, this is great plugin!)

Thanks in advance.

Hmm I see the issue you are having because you are using the website url’s path no parameters. I’ve honestly been a little stuck on this too, so if you figure it out let me know!

Hi @johnny,

Thanks for the response.
What do you mean by “the website url’s path no parameters.” exactly??

I am guessing the issue is related to “Get data from page URL” in the condition of visibility. Could be a bug?

By path I mean, for example, https://example.com/page1/view

And yeah it was referring to “Get Data from Page URL”

I think I got it.

Go to page - same page URL, sending parameter

Please tell my why one of these approaches wouldn’t work… Using Built-In Page Data Feature (Path Param) Using “Manual Approach” via Query String Please take note of the difference in the URL between the two approaches when clicking a thumbnail. (Using a plug-in offers certain benefits, but it’s certainly not necessary for what you want to achieve.)
