What's My Parameter?

Pass a paramater in a url from one page to another.

Need to read, find and get parameter value(s) from a URL string of a current page and/or email newsletter to be able to perform some type of action? We'll here ya go...

INSTALL

1: Install jQuery onto the page(s) where you need to provide an action.

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.2.0.min.js"></script>

2: Add a parameter to the end of your URL. This can be anything that you want to reference. For example;

<a href="www.thisismysite.com?addParameter=abc123" target="_blank">My Hyperlink Example</a>

3: Now copy&paste the wmParameter

function wmParameter(findParam){ 
  var pageURL = window.location.search.substring(1); 
  var splitURL = pageURL.split('&'); 
  for(var i = 0; i < splitURL.length; i++){ 
    var paramName = splitURL[i].split('='); 
    if(paramName[0] === findParam){ 
      return paramName[1]; 
    } 
  } 
} 

var thisParameter = wmParameter("addParameter"); 

if (thisParameter === "abc123"){ 
  alert(thisParameter); 
}else{ 
  alert("null"); 
}

4: If your alert's are successful, replace with your jQuery action.

$("element").method("property");
