Tell us what you are trying to do?

Hi, is there a way for Toolset to be able to pass-through variables via URLs (or another mechanism) from one URL to another, and have that information captured and retained to be used further down the line? Please see below:

Is there any documentation that you are following?

No, I am wondering if this is doable. If not, I'd like to put in a feature request since I believe this is extremely important in being able to create a consistent and cohesive Customer Journey experience.

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - actually, you can construct the links with URL params which you want to pass - I think Toolset is not needed here.

And to grab the URL param value using [wpv-search-term] shortcode:

Hi Minesh,

Thank you for that. As someone relatively new to Toolset, are there any video examples, or more in-depth tutorials for these types of features?

I'd love to deploy them, but without adequate guides to help show how it can be done, I'm at a loss with just a reference snippet.

Thanks,

[Minesh]

No - there is no such tutorial available for simple things.

For example:

<a href="www.abc.com/?number=1"> Number? </a>

Hi Minesh,

"And to grab the URL param value using [wpv-search-term] shortcode:

Yes, this is what I am talking about in terms of tutorials, video guides, etc. Want to understand and see a step-by-step real life example of how this is created and setup.

Hi there

Minesh is sick but will hopefully be back tomorrow when he will be able to continue with this.

You should be able to chain your linked pages together like so:

// Add this to page 1
<a href="site.com/page-2/?colour=yellow">Link to page 2</a>


// Add this to page 2
<a href="site.com/page-3/?colour=[wpv-search-term param='colour']">Link to page 3</a>


// Add this to page 3
<a href="site.com/page-4/?colour=[wpv-search-term param='colour']">Link to page 4</a>

[Minesh]

Could you please check examples shared by Nigel and try to resolve your issue.

Hi guys,

Thanks for the example.

// Add this to page 2
Link to page 3

// Add this to page 3
Link to page 4

So, I get the difference between page 1 to page 2, but what's the main difference between page 2 and page 3?

Also, the above syntax makes sense and I understand how it works, but I'm curious to know - is there a practical video showing off this demo? Would be interested to see a real-case example of how it all plays out.

Thank you!

[Minesh]

From page 2 - you are setting the URL param colour=yellow and on page 3 you are fetching the value of URL param "color".

[Minesh]

Also, there is no such video available to demonstrate this simple thing.

Hi Minesh,

What I mean is by this: hidden link

Thanks,

[Minesh]

There is no different with those two links - we are just passing the value of URL param "color " from page 2 to page 3.

Hi Minesh,

Ok, I see, thank you for your note. Appreciate your help.
