[Newbie alert!]
OK, I'm designing a site that'll have people's short stories on. The
stories are sorted into genres, so you'll be able to get a listing of
all the scifi stories, or all the fantasy stories, etc.
I'd like the lists of stories to be bookmarkable, so I understand you
need a direct action for that. As I understand direct actions, it means
you can't use the usual helpful WO stuff like passing objects between
pages. Everything has to go through the URL. Right?
Now, when developing in PHP, I would have just shoved the primary key
to the genre in question in the URL. Like
mypage.com/viewstories.php?genre=7.
But in everything I've read about WO, it says "don't touch the primary
key"!
So how would I identify the genre in question in a direct action?
(Forgive me for not being entirely sure how direct actions work. If
It's entirely possible I've missed something major.)
