Retrieving a parameter's value from a Gadget's URL

[Gerry O'Rourke]

Is it possible to retrieve a parameter value from the gadget url?

e.g. with the below example - how would you retrieve the value of the parameters "myparameter"?

Can this be done using the finesse.utilities.Utilities.getParameterByName(str, name)? 

Can anyone give a simple example?

finesse.utilities.Utilities.getParameterByName(str, name)

Takes a string (typically from window.location) and finds the value which corresponds to a name.

Example Gadget Config on Finesse Admin Desktop

<tab>
<id>Sample</id>
<label>Sample Gadget</label>
<gadgets>
<gadget>https://mywebserver.mydomain.com/gadgets/sample/sample.xml?myparameter1=blah</gadget>
</gadgets>
</tab>

Regards,

Gerry

Hi Gerry,

Please take a look at the _initializeGadgetURLParams method of the WebexTeams sample gadget. It uses 

document.location.href.split("?")[1].split("&");

Thanx,
