DynPages plugin

[alienee2]

Hi -

I was wondering how to pass parameters to a component using the dynpages plugin;

i'm using an html5 player which uses this code for the player:

Code:

<audio class="AudioPlayerV1">
          <source type="audio/mpeg" src="/data/uploads/audio_file.mp3" />
          <source type="audio/ogg" src="/data/uploads/audio_file.ogg" />
    </audio>

so i set this up as a component and am loading it into the article with dynpages;

i would like to be able to put a placeholder where it says 'audio_file', so that i can use one component and then have it load different audio files by specifying the audio file name in the tag...

thanks in advance for any info on how to do this...i tried to read the instructions about using global arguments, but it seems to use php and since my component doesn't have any php i wasn't sure if this is possible..

Just create the component (named "music_player") as:

Code:

<?php global $args; ?>
   <audio class="AudioPlayerV1">
          <source type="audio/mpeg" src="/data/uploads/<?php echo $args[0]; ?>.mp3" />
          <source type="audio/ogg" src="/data/uploads/<?php echo $args[0]; ?>.ogg" />
    </audio>

and call it from your page with e.g.

Code:

(% music_player beethoven_eroica %)

OK, thanks so much for the code!....though for some reason this is not working.... when the page renders, it is not putting in the argument, so the file path is looking like /data/uploads/.mp3
