Hi there,
I've been trying to figure out the best approach to this, so I thought I'd ask for some advice...
I have a website that I'm building for a salon. They offer more than 50 different services. I've set up a content type called "services", and used CCK to add fields (like price). Everything's good.
I'm embedding the view by hand with PHP.
I'd like each service to include a link (e.g. "request an appointment") that passes one or more of the service's values (e.g. name of service, price of service) to another URL -- possibly a URL outside my site, or maybe my "contact" form.
Either way, the root of that URL I'm passing values to will always be the same, but I'd like the values passed to be configurable in the admin, when the author saves the content.
What's the best way to do this? Have I gone down the wrong road with embedding a view by hand with PHP? Would I need to dig in to the theme and hand-code it?
Thanks for any advice or direction you can provide. All the best,
Dave
