Using a saved query with a parameter

I would like to use a saved query similar to the article describing how to use a saved query to populate a chart, but I have a multi-site installation and would like to use the saved query in more than one site by passing in the siteid as a parameter. Does anyone have an example on how to do this? Thanks in advance!

Hi,

This isn't currently possible but we will add it to our Feature Requests over at GitHub.

Thanks,
Joe

Re: Using a saved query with a parameter

Glad to hear it. I've been thinking about alternate ways of doing this since I posted. One way I came up with would be to do a search and replace of a token in the saved query since the example is passing the sql statement to the data reader to execute it. For example, I could have a where clause similar to Where siteid = #siteid# Then do a simple Replace in the code behind. Maybe this can help someone else with a similar problem.

Re: Using a saved query with a parameter

Hi,

I took at a look at your response and I think string replacement is probably the best way to go about this.

One could easily add module settings to the custom module they create and use the settings as their parameters. I will probably add an example of that soon.

Saved Query:

SELECT SiteName,Skin FROM mp_sites WHERE SiteID = $_SiteID_$;

Custom Module:

<%@ Control Language="C#" ClassName="QueryWithParams.ascx" Inherits="mojoPortal.Web.SiteModuleControl" %>

<%@ Import Namespace="System" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Data" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Drawing" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="mojoPortal.Business" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="mojoPortal.Business.WebHelpers" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="mojoPortal.Web.Framework" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="mojoPortal.Web.Controls" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="mojoPortal.Web.Editor" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="mojoPortal.Net" %>
