When I use this inside of a shortcode in a View:
1108=[get param=provincename]
things worked fine, until one of the values getting passed for the provincename contained a space. The lack of quotes around the square brackets ended up corrupting the value (I'm assuming the space indicates the end of the variable?), so my results were wrong.
Until I changed it to this: 1108="[get param=provincename]"
I'm assuming that we should put the quotes around every value, but someone please correct me if that's wrong.
