Passing URL to a Web Widget

[kblagron]

Is it possible to pass a name to a Web Widget?  I was trying to clean up some templates, and one thing that would help would be if I could pass a webserver URL to a template that only contains a Web Widget.  This would allow just one template .vs. 9 templates all with different URLs.

I placed this: http://cqcserver/%(GVar:GraphName)  into the URL for the Web Widget (With the variable GraphName containing the name), but couldn't get it to work.  Is this possible?

That won't work. But, you can do that in the OnPreload of the parent widget. Build up the URL and you can set it on the web widget there on the fly. Doing it in the preload means that it doesn't try to load and then load again, it just gets stored on the web widget as the initial URL to load.

That worked, I was using a Static Web Image widget, so I used the SetImage() to adjust the URL.  Thanks for your quick reply.
