Experimental project

This is a sandbox project, which contains experimental code for developer use only.

This module provides a plugin for Views 3.x that allows you to grab a variable in any one of the superglobals and use them as a default value for a contextual filter. The most commonly used superglobal would be $_GET, which would allow you to pull any variables that have been passed via the URL into the contextual filter.

Example Use Cases

  • The Search API and Facet API modules both pass their filter values via the URL. This module would allow you grab those values via $_GET and use them in a secondary view, such as a 'Suggested Results' block or some sort of related content.

It currently supports all of the superglobals and can traverse any number of nested arrays or objects.
