Here is the code they gave me from support

Code:
<html>

<head>
    <script>
        function getURLParameter(name) {
            return decodeURI(
                (RegExp(name + '=' + '(.+?)(&|$)').exec(location.search)||[,null])[1] || ''
            );
        }
    </script>
</head>

<body>
    Hello
    <script>
        document.write(getURLParameter('model'))
    </script>user, you just won!
</body>

</html>
I have not tried it yet

dont use js.... Use PHP, im doing this now, so i know it works...

in your URL in Voluum

mylander.com/lp1/index.php?brand={brand}

in your lander php file at the very top...

<?php
if(isset($_GET['brand'])){$brand=$_GET['brand'];}
?>

you then can use your variable within the lander; in this case

<?php echo $brand; ?> will print out the $brand variable on your lander...

Add in all the variables within your URL and the corresponding GET in the php section, voila!

Here is how it looks in the HTML

<h2> Your <?php echo $brand; ?> Has A Bad Ass Problem!</h2>

Voluum automatically appends a long tail of querystring data to the URL - haven't tested it but I assume you can just GET this data without having to add any ?token=something to your lander URL in Voluum.

if you know how let me know... You have available tokens that you have to assign a value to in order to pull them out of the URL that comes in....

ie. {model}, {brand}, etc... But, i believe in the LP URL you have to assign a variable to these tokens... ie. &brand={brand}... I dont believe they are automatic...

If you know otherwise lemme know, would love it otherwise..

Oh right - yes for the 'extra' things that Voluum can track (e.g. ISP, model, etc.) you have to put them in as extra tokens in your LP link.

Hi karim0028,

What if I want to call more than 1 paramater… I try like this but it's not work
<?php
if(isset($_GET['brand'])){$brand=$_GET['brand'];}
?>
<?php
if(isset($_GET['city'])){$city=$_GET['city'];}
?>

mylander.com/lp1/index.php?brand={brand}&city={city}

<h2> Your <?php echo $brand; ?> Has A Bad Ass Problem! Are you from <?php echo $city; ?>?</h2>

Can you show me the correct one…

Thanks
