javascript add querystring within script

Question

I am using the galleria script for my website, with the facebook mod. I want to modify it a bit, so the albumid that should be showing, is the ID given in query string.

My code is:

Galleria.run('#galleria', { facebook: 'album:000000000', width: 745, height: 550, lightbox: true});

Where i want album:000000000, to be album:-querystring albumid-

For example, my page is album.php?albumid=123456, i want the code to be:

Galleria.run('#galleria', { facebook: 'album:123456', width: 745, height: 550, lightbox: true});

Could someone help me with a certain code?

Answer 1

I can't claim too much familiarity with Galleria, but I have used the JS function below to grab query string variable values.

function parseURLParams(name, locat) {
        var results = new RegExp('[\\?&]' + name + '=([^&#]*)').exec(locat);
        if (results) {
            return results[1] || "";
        } else {
            return "";
        }
}

So if you include the above function in your project, you could potentially set up your code like so:

Galleria.run('#galleria', { facebook: 'album:' + parseURLParams("albumid", window.location.href), width: 745, height: 550, lightbox: true});

Hope it helps!
