Receiving Settings Passed Via URL

The URL of a dashboard can pass values to some or all widgets on that dashboard, including values for any portlet settings. To accept these values, when you implement %OnGetPortletSettings(), use the pSettings argument, which is a multidimensional array that contains values for any settings that were provided in the URL. The structure of this array is as follows:

Node	Value
pSettings("setting") where setting is the name of a setting	Value of that setting

One approach is to use $GET(pSettings("setting") as the default value for each setting. For example:

ClassMethod %OnGetPortletSettings(Output pInfo As %List, ByRef pSettings) As %Status
{
  Kill pInfo
  Set pInfo($I(pInfo)) = $LB("LOGO",$G(pSettings("LOGO")),"","Clock logo","Logo displayed on top of clock")

  Set pInfo($I(pInfo)) = $LB("STEP",$G(pSettings("STEP"),"10"),"%Integer",
 "Second hand redraw interval (msec)","milliseconds steps of second hand")

  Set pInfo($I(pInfo)) = $LB("OFFSET",$G(pSettings("OFFSET"),"0"),"%Integer",
  "Offset from base time (min)","minutes difference from base time (Local or UTC)")

  Set pInfo($I(pInfo)) = $LB("UTC",$G(pSettings("UTC"),"0"),"%Boolean","UTC","Time Base: local (default) or UTC")

  Set pInfo($I(pInfo)) = $LB("CIRCLE",$G(pSettings("CIRCLE"),"1"),"%Boolean",
  "Circle","Shape: square (default) or circle")

  Set pInfo($I(pInfo)) = $LB("SIZE",$G(pSettings("SIZE"),"150"),"%Integer","Size","Size of the clock")
     
  Quit pInfo
}
