How do I create page logic that keeps a page hidden if a URL does NOT include a particular parameter.

I'm trying to trap entries into our survey that do not pass several parameters that are critical to our survey results -> e.g. if someone goes to our survey URL but has not included these parameters in the URL they will get a 'sorry page' rather than the survey.

I've created a hidden first page with the sorry message (I know, the system doesnt seem to love hidden first pages), and created an advanced show rules along the following lines:

[%%GET_var] == 0, [%%GET_var] == '', [%%GET_var] == NULL etc.

Bottom line, the rule seems to be ignored when ?var= is not passed in the URL. When var is passed, the rules work but it defeats the purpose of the checker. Can anyone help?

Hey, Hugo!


You'll actually want to quote out your [%%GET_var], or you've just have ” == '' “, with nothing on the left of the comparison.


Try this:

'[%%GET_var]' == ''
