I have a page on a video site called channels. The videos on this page are dynamically populated by the channel parameter passed in the url: http://hostname/tabid/xx/channel/xxx/default.aspx
This works fine, however, the client wants a side bar that has "Featured Videos" on each channel page. My first thought was to create a setting in my feature video module that allows them to put the querystring key name they wish to use and then append that to the videoID setting name when I save it...
Example: They are on http://......channel/5/default.aspx and click settings on the feature video module....
when the settings page opens I want it to look at the VideoKey setting, see that is is set to "channel", see that they are on channel=5 and look up the videoID setting key as videoID_5.
They problem is that, while this works great in view mode, when you click settings, the channel is not passed to the settings page and so it does not see the querystring parameter and thus simply looks up the setting key of videoID instead of videoID_xx (I set it to default to videoID for when users simply go to channels.aspx they get some default feature videos).
This is an urgent matter as this project is overdue. Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
