Need some assistance understanding how to GET user data from a parameter in the page URL and how to pass in that data to the page URL.
Hey @adammiko , quick answer is that the variables are listed in the ‘var’ tab when you are binding the data. At 1:19 in the video, you are in the binding config and currently showing the data from the collections, but you can click ‘var’ next to that DB icon to variables.
Now for a longer answer
Have you watched the weweb academy videos? Really a good place to start and it is fairly quick:

I think you will find that once you get up to speed, you will be just as efficient in weWeb as Bubble, if not faster, plus weWeb mimics real world dev a little closer.
When i approach pulling in data and passing identifiers to other pages to then display detail content, I actually dont use the url paramaters, instead, I use variables and the end points that xano provides.
So when the user clicks on a list item for a specific record (Customer ABC), I save the id of that customer to a variable and then use that variable in my xano collection.
You can then set or pull data from variables using the acitons on the element.
Hopefully that did make things more confusing, any questions just ask away.
Hi! Thank you for the thorough response. I actually went through the WeWeb academy program and am still lost on a number of fronts. This is likely because I learned programming in Bubble and not in real world dev.
In response to this portion of the answer: “When i approach pulling in data and passing identifiers to other pages to then display detail content, I actually dont use the url paramaters, instead, I use variables and the end points that xano provides.”
That’s great! But what happens when one of your customers wants to share a product link and there’s no data in the URL for them to be able to share this information with a friend for example?
Yooooo. I see you over here! Solid move!!
Yep thats a valid use case… just not one you mentioned
So using the URL parameter works and is easy enough in weWeb.
