wildcard for url to use pagecolor (/blah.php?act=show&pa

[aaalexxx]

hi there!

i was thinkin' about something and i don't know if it's possible in v5. what i'd like to have is the possibility to use a wildcard in the urls.

let me explain what i mean:

i have a guestbook on my page for example. so here's the code for a menu:

Code: Select all

with(milonic=new menuname("guestbook")){
style=subStyle;
aI("text=show;url=http://www.mypage.com/?goto=guestbook&action=show;");
}

if i call "http://www.mypage.com/?goto=guestbook&action=show" 'pagecolor' and 'pagebgcolor' is set correctly. but if i call the second page "http://www.mypage.com/?goto=guestbook&a ... how&page=2" (which is not in the menu and can't be there because i can't update it all the time) 'pagecolor' and 'pagebgcolor' are not set, because the url doesn't match the one in the menu.

now, here's my question:

why can't i use wildcards in the urls? it would be perfect if i could change the code to

Code: Select all

with(milonic=new menuname("guestbook")){
style=subStyle;
aI("text=show;url=http://www.mypage.com/?goto=guestbook&action=show*;");
}

the browser should call the "http://www.mypage.com/?goto=guestbook&action=show" then (without the asteriks), but subpages would still match the given url.

is there any way to do this? if not, wouldn't it be a great feature?

any help/answers would be appreciated

aleks.

I like the idea, its definetly got some useage worth. I have heard a couple other people have trouble with the URLs due to query string problems. Maybe not in the initial release, but an addon in the near future?
