Hi,
can you please put back the ability of Axure RP9 to read and manipulate global variables via the URL?
the functionality was present in RP8 and it was hugely helpful: it allowed to generate a URL with a specific prototype behaviour set by variables and onLoad conditions!!!
example here (Axure RP8): Home
will load a green button with a customised caption
will load the same button with a different colour and another caption
remove the variables completely from the URL and you will have the default status
it is a lifesaving feature: my team and I basically don’t design pages anymore but just different states of the same page (with a visible popup, without it, with a specific error message, etc.)
before we needed to create a lot of duplicate content just to simulate a simple change of status and the maintenance work required for changes was endless.
now we maintain a very limited number of “pages”
Not really. There used to be an option to truly dismiss the outer frame (not just collapse it) but if that still exists I can’t see it.
You could hide a button with an “open link in parent frame” interaction somewhere on the page you wanted to link to, pointing to itself, then navigate to the state you care about, and click it. I’m not sure if that’s much of a time-saver, though.
I just meant using an individual page’s URL vs start.html or index.html, which have a frameset, loading the prototype’s pages in the right frame. When you publish your prototype locally, each page gets its own HTML file, and you can load that, as in http://myserver.com/page_1.html .–But this is basically what you show in your last link: https://se2lu4.axshare.com/home.html#colour=green&caption=THANK%20YOU
Maybe I should have asked you first, what you mean by “persistent projector” and “clean link”
