[ZPT] URL query string variables to call a macro or template

[KJ Moffatt, Careers Advisory Service]

Thank you very much. My final code was:

<div tal:define="guidedir request/name; guidename 
python:string(request.name + request.pages)">
Guide Directory: <span tal:replace="string: $guidedir">dir</span>.
Guide Name: <span tal:replace="string: $guidename">name</span>.
<div 
metal:use-macro="here/?guidedir/?guidename/macros/?guidename">footer</div>
</div>

Although I do need to put in some error checking to prevent page crashes. 
In this instance the URL would appear as ?name=test&page=1

Many thanks,

Keir
