Append Value to Link URL

David We've emailed about this but thought I'd post in the forum incase others have the same issue. I've added ?e107mobile=on in the Append Value to Link URL but it doesn't make any difference to my link. What I want to know.... does it put ?e107mobile=on on the end of the RSS feed or does it put it on the end of the website address it ends up at?... I'd hope it ends up sending users to http://website.com/news.php?e107mobile=on instead of http://website.com/news.php But it just doesn't work for me on the simulator or iPhone. Any thoughts? Thanks Roy

Yes, I remember this discussion and also remember fixing 'something' - funny. I don't have my change-notes in front of me. I'm assuming this is related to a Custom URL screen but It the logic should be the same everywhere in the control panel (RSS, Image URL's, etc). Two things come to mind. a) Does the control panel show the URL you entered and saved or is it somehow breaking it? b) When running your app, open the console and see what URL the data is being loaded from. It should show you where it's looking for data (the URL). Is this the same as you entered in the control panel or is it also not as expected. I can look into this again tomorrow, about done for the night, it's 2:00 AM here and I'm beat! Glad you're brining this up again if it's not working ;-)

I'm not sure but I think I know why now - my URL already has a ? in it, and the Append Value I am putting in also has a ? Am I right in thinking a URL can only have one ? in it?
