Using URL Parameter for part of path location
Hey, I have a documents datasource that points to a directory in my site for its data.

What I would like to do (to re-use the same template) is to have a series of links so when clicked, it would re-load the page and change the datasource's path location based on the URL parameter attached to the link.

So if I clicked breezy, then the path the datasource would use is products/breezy/%

Is this possible to do?

RE:Using URL Parameter for part of path location
Hello,

Of course, you can take advantage of query string macros and specify that path like:

/products/{%category|(default)default_category%}/%


And then just make your links like:

<a href="~/path/to/your/page.aspx?category=breezy">breezy</a>


Best regards,
Jan Hermann
