Create weblink that passes paramaters in the URL?

I have an inbound link to a page that is just a weblink. So, the request starts off going to news.html?name=123 (where the name is variable)

The weblink at news.html redirects to real-page.html, and that works fine, but it doesn’t pass the name parameter to real-page.html. Is there any way to force it to do so?

I needed to do something like this a while back and the code was in a snippet, this was the solution I used after help here

echo ’<a href="’.$modx->makeUrl(32,’’,’search=title&year=’.$year).’">Title</a>’;

Just change the 32 in my example to your page ID your link is on and the variables to what you need to send.

Hope this points you in the right direction.

why not just use [~123~]?name=123 in the link field for the weblink. this will output the link to the document with the additional parameters.

The name is variable; you can’t just set its value in the weblink itself.

Thanks for the reply. Do you mean that the weblink can itself be a snippet? How is this accomplished?
