How do I send two variables in the REQUEST that gets sent to display the detail page? So let's say I have 2 columns, "First name" and "Last name" and I want a user to be able to click on the first name or last name to get a detail page.

It's returning more than one value right now since there's more than one person with the same first name. I want to be able to send both the first name and last name as variables.

If you create a link to a page using "Columns settings -> Format" parameter, value of any column from the same records can be added using the following code:

{$columns:COL_NAME}

Where COL_NAME is a name of column.

Sorry, I'm confused: does that {$columns:COL_NAME} go in the SQl statmenet below?

So if I have two columns I want to send, do I comma delineate that?

{$columns: COLUMN1, COLUMN2}
or do I put {$columns: NAME} in each format parameter?

We wrote about "Columns settings -> Format" parameter in module settings.

Describe in more details what do you try to implement.

(sorry, duplicate post)

I understand how to send one variable to a detail page using <a href="index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=22&firstname={$value}">{$value}</a> in the format column.

The problem is that the link variable being sent has duplicates, so I want to be able to send a second variable as well: such as if one column was first name AND the second column was last name when the detail link is clicked.


so the URL REQUEST ends up being mysite.com/myfriends?id=24&firstname=John&lastname=Smith

thanks
