I tried that exactly like you had it. (dropdown with same input-options and same tvFilters)
It should work and it worked.
I would try it again.
Perhaps you had a cache-issue or something.

Hmmmm... you are absolutely right. Awesome!

Ok so one more quick question. I am trying to just make a quick form for this bit that passes values for another form on another page. I couldn’t get it working so just as a quick test I tried either separately. Is there a obvious reason I can just set up forms like normal?

<form method="get" action="[[~7]]">
	<input type="text" name="var" />
    <input type="submit" />
</form>
<form method="POST" action="[[~7]]">
	<input type="text" name="var" />
    <input type="submit" />
</form>

and then a snippet on the other page

   $var = $_GET['var'];
	echo $var;
	$var = $_POST['var'];
	echo $var;

I saw in another post where it was suggested to pass the get values as:

<form action="[[~7]]?&var=`test`">

but that didn’t work out either. Post doesn’t seem to get passed and the get url contains none of my values.
Ok that should be my last question wink

Thanks again for the help.

Try using id= in addition to name=

Also, "var" is a reserved word in PHP.

Ok so I feel a bit stupid.... yes changing the var name solved the post issue. Thank you. So using GET is not needed to what I am doing, but just for the sake of knowing I tried everything I could think of. I wasn’t exactly sure how or where you intended me to put the &id=7.

<form method="get" action="&id=7&myVar=testVar">
    <input type="submit" />
</form>

gives me /&id=7&myVar=testVar

<form method="get" action="[[~7]]&id=7&myVar=testVar">
    <input type="submit" />
</form>

gives me /index.php

<form method="get" action="[[++site_url]]index.php?&id=7&myVar=testVar">
    <input type="submit" />
</form>

gives me /index.php

<form method="get" action="[[~7]]">
  <input type="text" name="myVar" />
   <input type="submit" />
</form>

That redirects to the index as such /index.php?myVar=test

<form method="get" action="[[~7]]&myVar=testVar">
    <input type="submit" />
</form>

gives me /index.php

Sorry, I meant this:

<input type="text" name="somevar" id="somevar" />

AFAIK, the "id" attribute is now the proper form and "name" is there for reverse compatibility and CSS references.

Your action should be [[~7? &myVar=`testVar`]]

Thanks guys,

That was the format I needed [[~7? &myVar=`testVar`]] GET correctly passes the vars now. Very helpful for future needs.Thanks again.
