Hello Folks,

I've been stumbling my way through this entire process so far.  But the lack of documentation from IP on creating a third part application is rather lacking.  Yes, it has been helpful but also lacking depth at the same time.  Anyways,  What I am trying to figure out isn't really covered anywhere from what I've seen.  And I would like to A) Know if its possible, or if it isn't how much of a 'workaround' am I going to need to do such.

Alright, in my application I have a page that displays a table of items relating to that user.  Each item is editable and can be managed.  But -how- would I link to the management page with out using forms.

In the past in other situations like this using other software I've done something like this to the URL

index.php?controller=edit&id=row_key

Then in the back end I verify that the current logged in user has access/permissions to edit the row in question so the user couldn't edit someone else's row.

Or would I have to do a form and pass the row_key via a hidden field?

I guess what I should be asking is how do I read additional URL Params in IP.Board so I can get that from the url.

Thanks in advanced for any helpful suggestions/hints on how to approach this problem.

Build the URL like this:

<a href="{parse url="app=appName&amp;module=edit&amp;section=edit&amp;id={$row['key']}" base="public"}">Edit</a>

In your code you can then use $this->request[] to get values from the URL. In this example you want to use $this->request['id'].
