TOPIC: Filtering data by passing a parameter in the URL

Filtering data by passing a parameter in the URL 10 Years ago Karma: 0
Need some help with filtering data by passing a parameter in the URL - is it possible?
For example - filtering books owned by a particular category -

Table Name: books; Fields are id, book_name, book_category, book_pubdate
and book category=fiction, non-fiction, etc.

Need help
(i) with my query
SELECT * FROM books WHERE book_category= [HELP NEEDED HERE](syntax to read parameter passed in the URL)

(ii) with how I set up the URL
www.abc.com/..... [HELP NEEDED HERE](syntax to pass parameter)

I have a similar question on ARI Smart Content, but will post on the appropriate forum after I am able to figure this out with your help. Thanks.

Hello,

For example if you send a category in "cat" request parameter, use the following SQL query:

Code:


SELECT
 *
FROM
 books
WHERE
 book_category = {$REQUEST:cat|empty:''}

and what would be the syntax for the URL would be if I am passing cat=fiction

example
www.abc.net/index.php/explore/layouts/books/???

Currently "ARI Smart Content" doesn't support this feature.
