Symphony.

If I understand correctly, the reason to use the method Allen proposed above is to do a second level of filtering.

So you could have a projects page that fetches and displays a project based on its title (http://hostname/project/project-title) from a Projects DS, and then also displays, say, that Project's tasks by way of a Tasks-by-Project DS that uses a SystemID output parameter from Projects DS and filters by a section link field using that parameter...

czheng:

wait.... if you want http://hostname/projects/project/ to work, you can just just filter the Projects DS not by SystemID = $handle, but by Title (or whatever)= $handle... no?

weird, i could have sworn that wasn't working for me about 45minutes ago.

ok, ignore my last post. i think i've worked it out. :) thanks for the pointer, czheng.

regards, sb

p.s.: cool that string filters are case insensitive... :D
