Help: Using a GET param in a header link URL...

[GEngle]

Hello,

I'm new to vB but I've scoured many topics/documentation and I can't get this to work.

The header for my forum comes from a remote site and is inserted as an <iframe>. The src of the iFrame is passed in from the remote site such as "http://mysite.com". This all works great for the homepage; however, once you click on any link within the forum the GET param is gone (since it wasn't submitted in the link) and the header goes with it.

Naturally I need to store the domainURL ("http://mysite.com") as a variable that stays around after the initial GET is captured. To this end I created a global variable and initialized it within a Plugin (global_start hook).

Again this works initially (so I know the value is getting set) but it doesn't keep its value past the first page!

Here is my template header code:

<iframe 
  src="$GLOBALS[domainURL]/jsp/Header.jsp">
</iframe>

Here is my plug-in code:

PHP Code:

if ($GLOBALS['domainURL'] == '')
{
  $GLOBALS['domainURL'] = $_GET[domain];
} 


I have even tried storing the GET param in $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('g', 'domain', TYPE_STR). When I use this I only get Array['domain'] passed back. Perhaps I'm missing something there.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Get parameters are not passed between pages unless you actually put the parameter in the link.

Yes, I realize that. The GET parameter is passed in from the initial call; the problem I am having is keeping that parameter value after further clicks within the forum. Obviously I need to store the value within a variable of some sort and reference that variable. That is the problem I am having; trying to populate a variable that keeps the value, not the GET parameter itself. Make sense?

PHP clears variables when the page finishes executing. The only way would be to either pass the parameter through every link, or store it in a cookie (will not work for those who have disabled cookies).

That would explain it... thanks!
