For some background on my issue see here: http://community.qlik.com/message/126265

I would basically like to parse the url string to gather parameters that I will use for field selections.

I have been unsuccessful in obtaining the url string, does anyone have any suggestions or ideas?

Hi,

In the QVW documnet create a variable tabname as an example from Menu -> Settings -> Variable Overview.

So while passing any value to pass any value to this variable from url, create the url as

qvp://servername/applicationname.qvw?tabname=abc

In the application us just refer the variable name tabname to fetch the value that passed in url.

Please try and let me know still didnt get solved your issue.

Cheers.

Hi BlackRockS

could you please put some example code so that it is more clear what is

"In the application us just refer the variable name tabname to fetch the value that passed in url."

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

qvp://servername/url.qvw?tabname=2

and also please find the attached sample application as requested.

That worked. The secret is the qvp:// protocol.

I have made some tests with the ajax, using the select= syntax but it select the field (the box changes its color to a selected color) but it does not select the content I wanted.

Any idea on how ajax would work? How could I select a field´s value?

thanks again

Hi,

Sorry Macros still wont work properly or at all in Ajax. If you want you can first try in IE plug-in and let me know if you need further help on this.

But Ajax with Macro sorry i cant help.

Cheers.

Hi BlackRock,

I have a situation where in i need to pass the Input Parameter from the URL (Query String) to the stored procedure and bind the dashboard.

Ex: www.google.com/ID=4

I am trying to access the above ID field in a variable and then pass to the Stored Procedure as

sql exec sproc $(ID);

I am facing issues to access the query string value and also to bind a variable to the stored procedure dynamically instead of declaring as $(ID)=1.

Please let me know if you find any solutions.

Thanks,

Sai Krishna
