GET params is a plugin providing your pages and posts with shortcodes allowing you to display GET parameters from \nthe current URL in pages and posts, or show\/hide content depending on GET param values.<\/p>\n\n

As an example, I use this plugin so that I can show personalized installation instructions to users of another piece of \nsoftware I wrote, simply by directing them to a URL on my WordPress site, along with GET variables chosen to \nensure that custom fields and sections display exactly as required for them to install my software.<\/p>\n\n

See FAQ if you are having problems under WordPress 4.2.3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Examples follow, assuming the user goes to your post page http:\/\/example.com\/post\/3\/?paramname=showme<\/p>\n\n

Displaying GET parameters directly<\/h4>\n\n
 [display-get-param name=\"paramname\"]\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n
Shows the value of GET named paramname ('showme' in the example URL), or \"blank value\" if none given.<\/p>\n\n
 [display-get-param name=\"paramname\" default=\"Paramname was blank\"]\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n
Shows the value of GET named paramname, or \"Paramname was blank\" if none<\/p>\n\n
Controlling display of enclosed content depending on GET parameter values<\/h4>\n\n
 [display-if-get name=\"myparam\"]\n\nThis enclosed content only shows if myparam is passed as a GET param (with any value)\n\n [\/display-if-get]\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n
Another example specifying a value to match:<\/p>\n\n
 [display-if-get name=\"myparam\" value=\"true\"]\n\nThis content only shows if myparam is passed as a GET param and equals \"true\"\n\n [\/display-if-get]\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n
Inverting the criteria<\/h4>\n\n
The plugin also contains an opposite to display-if-get, called display-if-not-get.<\/p>\n\n
display-if-not-get content will display only in all cases where display-if-get with the same parameters would NOT show.<\/p>\n\n
This means that display-if-not-get content will also show if the named parameter does not exist at all in the URL query string.<\/p>\n\n
If\/else blocks<\/h4>\n\n
This is essentially possible by using a combination of display-if-get and display-if-not-get with the same parameters.<\/p>\n\n
 [display-if-get name=\"opt\" value=\"1\"]\n\nYou chose option 1 - URL contains \/?opt=1.\n\n [\/display-if-get]\n\n [display-if-not-get name=\"opt\" value=\"1\"]\n\nYou chose an option that is not option 1.\n\n [\/display-if-not-get]\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n
Easiest way:<\/p>\n\n
    \n
  1. Go to your WordPress admin control panel's plugin page<\/li>\n
  2. Search for 'GET params'<\/li>\n
  3. Click Install<\/li>\n
  4. Click Activate on the plugin<\/li>\n
  5. Start using shortcodes as described in our examples<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
    If you cannot install from the WordPress plugins directory for any reason, and need to install from ZIP file:<\/p>\n\n
      \n
    1. Upload directory and contents to the \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory, or upload the ZIP file directly in\nthe Plugins section of your Wordpress admin<\/li>\n
    2. Follow the instructions from step 4 above<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
      \n
      Is there a problem with the plugin under WordPress 4.2.3?<\/dt>\n
      There is a known problem where the plugin shortcodes are used within URLs or other HTML attributes which are themselves inside quotes.<\/p>\n\n
      For example:<\/p>\n\n
      <a href="\/anotherpage?id=[display-get-param name="id"]">Click Here<\/a><\/p>\n\n
      apparently no longer works on WP 4.2.3 even though it did in 4.2.2.<\/p>\n\n
      It's not clear whether this type of shortcode usage is permitted by WordPress at all, but in any case some users have found that mixing the quotation style helps:<\/p>\n\n
      <a href="\/anotherpage?id=[display-get-param name='id']">Click Here<\/a><\/p><\/dd>\n
      How can I obtain support for this plugin?<\/dt>\n
      Please help each other on the public support forums.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
