Auto append ?keyword=value in subsequent pages clicked

    Hello!

    First of all, thank you for developing this wonderful plugin. First time using it, but I can see this coming handy in my other projects in the future.

    For now, I wanted to relay a feedback/idea from a use case I have with a site I’m working on. We’re trying to embed pages of this WordPress site into a WAP site (for older mobile phones). To keep site loading fast, we’re using the plugin to load an alternate, lightweight theme when embedding in an iframe. We’re using the ?keyword=value route for this.

    e.g. <iframe width=100% height=100% src=”https://www.somesite.com/page?theme=2012″></iframe&gt;

    But anytime a link in that page is clicked, it takes users to another page that doesn’t have the ?keyword=value string to the URL, thus rendering that page with the default theme.

    I wonder if it makes sense to incorporate a new feature in the plugin that will automatically append the ?keyword=value suffix to sub-pages clicked from a page already containing the suffix?… I presume this needs to overried any other settings in the plugin? (e.g. override “Use a specific theme for all posts” settings.)

    Thanks for considering!

    Awesome!… Those looks like a lot to think about, so, take your time Jon, and let me know if you need me to do further testing. I have also enjoyed working on this with you! ??

    Just an update to let you know that I now have a working version based on my preliminary testing. One area that concerns me a little is that if you have a Sticky theme displayed and login to WordPress, the Sticky theme is “gone” when you go back to the public site after logging on. That may not be an issue. I’ll know better once I get you involved in Testing this version.

    The only problem I have encountered, so far in my limited amount of Testing, that really concerns me, is that, when I append the keyword=value, I am not removing any other keyword=value that might conflict. That requires some detailed Design thought.

    Some changes in Settings may be new to you:

    1. A new setting controls whether or not to add sticky keyword=value to a URL that already has a “?” in it, indicating other query keyword=value pairs.
    2. The Sticky setting has now been divided into two settings: Sticky and Override
    3. The Sticky and Override settings have been moved down into the Advanced Settings section where all keyword=value entries are displayed for a second time (the first time, near the top of the page, allows you to delete entries)

    I’m still not sure if I will just release this version and get you to test the released version, or have you test before I release. I will probably release it first, as the existing version will just cause people grief if they try to use the Sticky feature.

    I spoke too soon. The Theme Selection PHP code has to be redesigned, at least the Query section, to make the Override Setting work.

    Thankfully, PHP is faster for me to write than JavaScript.

    Version 4.11 has not been released. It should fully address your needs.

    If your testing reveals any issues, I will address them in a follow-up version.

    Version 4.11.1 resolves a problem with 4.11 that you would definitely run into — a foreach error — so please be sure to do your testing using 4.11.1 not 4.11.
