Use a variable as an ID

stuntdawg · Oct 5th 2019

I would like to pass a variable into a template and then use that variable to modify the content id. Something like this:

Code

or

I want too simplify my code and avoid a long perch if statement.

I know how to pass variables into a template and I know to use perch_content_custom()

Any suggestions?
