So, your URL might look like <a href="http://www.website.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.website.com/</a>{Directory:1}</p> <p>The only tricky part is getting the proper format and name for your subdirectory field, since there is no drop down here. I would check the box to use the query string, so you can use the drop down and insert a merge tag, so you have the exact syntax. Then, copy that, paste into the URL area, then uncheck the box. That worked for me.</p> <p>You might need to be concerned with case-sensitivity for URLs based on your web server, and how the information is being submitted to you.</p> <p>Let us know if that works for you. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/query-string-without-the-passing-a-leading-question-mark#post-46320 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 17:05:13 +0000 mharding7va 46320@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I need to pass data without the leading question mark (url/?datastring). I am asking the user to enter a subdirectory, then append that subdirectory to the leading URL. </p> <p>Example: <a href="http://www.website.com/data_string" rel="nofollow">http://www.website.com/data_string</a> NOT <a href="http://www.website.com/?data_string" rel="nofollow">http://www.website.com/?data_string</a></p> <p>Possible? How? </p>
