john martin asked on August 28, 2017 16:45

I would like to get itemID from query string and get name of item from custom table like http://www.abc.com?itemid=123. how can i use below macro expression to get from querystring?

{%GlobalObjects.CustomTables["customtable.tableName"].Items.Where("ItemID=123")("itemName")#%}

I tried this way but not succeeded: {%GlobalObjects.CustomTables["customtable.tableName"].Items.Where("ItemID={?itemid?}")("itemName")#%}

Try something like this: {%GlobalObjects.CustomTables["customtable.tableName"].Items.Where("ItemID="+ QueryString.GetValue("itemID"))("itemName")|(identity)GlobalAdministrator%}

Edit: Be warned you are passing in a querystring value into a where condition in a query, I believe SQL injection will be handled in this case, but might want to double check.

Are you going to use this in portal engine or in the .NET code?
