I find myself creating a lot of "duplicate" feeds where the only thing I am changing is the number following WHERE in the SQL query. For example I will do ten feeds, "WHERE Company=1", "WHERE Company=2" and so on.

Would there be any way of passing that value through the URL. So I could create one feed and just change the number in the URL?

For example, the URL might be: http://www.mysource.coop/DesktopModules/XModPro/Feed.aspx?xfd=Communications&company=2&pid=32

I think this may eliminate a lot of redundant work. Is something like this possible now, or might it be in a future release?

Hi lmattox,

Sure. It's possible now.

In your feed's ListDataSource tag, add a Parameter to grab the URL param value. Example:



It is good practice to specify the DataType for parameters - especially those that can be user-supplied. So, in this case you're ensuring the passed-in value is a number. This helps prevent scripting attacks.



Best,
Kelly
