Dynamic offset in views ?

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

The issue here is that the user wanted to dynamically allocate an offset to the view based on a url parameter.

Solution:

To pass the offset to the view all you need to do is add the offset="2" value to the shortcode as a shortcode attribute.

Then you can use this shortcode to pass the attribute.

Hi Cristian,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Is it that you want to dynamically pass an offset to the view ? or is it that you want to get the offset value from the view.

To pass the offset to the view all you need to do is add the offset="2" value to the shortcode as a shortcode attribute.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Cristian,

So you want to pass the offset value from the URL into the view correct?

What you can do is to try this shortcode and pass it into the offset attribute.
