Hi everyone,
Ich have a Javascript dropDown menu where I show Archives by year. If the user clicks on a specific year, the menu will expand via javascript and all Entries for this year will be listet.
If the user clicks on a listed entry he will be send to the Entry and the same DropDown menu shows up again too.
Now, every year-item, that was expanded before is now folded again. of course...
I now want to have the menu on the new page to be expanded exactly like the one on the page before. So I thought I add a URL-Get variable to the link for the entry like "foobar.html?expand=xyz".
Is there a way to access these Get-variables via MT-tags or in a other way?
Thank you!
Michael

Hi Michael,
There is no way to access that/those Get variable(s) via MT tags.
You could however access them using PHP.
If your blog pages are ending in .html, then you could configure your server to interpret .html pages as PHP, so that any php coding available inside them could be properly handled.
Otherwise, if your blog pages are ending .php, then you could implement the php coding for reading and using that/those Get variable(s).
Kind Regards,
Mihai Bocsaru
