I am using a list version of mod_escal called mod_eslist. I noticed in the module configuration there is a textbox for "parameters". Is is possible to set parameters in this box? Can I pass the module information via this box and change settings in the module code? Is this box useless?

What I aim to do is set "$showCat" on the fly so I can limit the catagories displayed by the module. I don't kow much about module programming, though I gues I could try to find some text on the matter.

I am trying to avoid running multiple installations of the module.

Thanks!

Joe

You could modify the module so that it evaluates if showCat has been passed in the GET (in the URL).

I don't think that the "parameters" box is meant for what you want it to do.

OK. I get it. I will experiment around a bit and see what I can make happen. Thanks!
