No need to use the hack.  The solution should work as you describe.   (If you are on a fairly recent version of Skuid, that is…)

I can’t get this to work.  (I’m on version 6.8.7.)  

I have a decent workaround, though - the page I’m working with overrides a Salesforce object called MedRec__c.  So, if the page is displayed primarily, the parameter ‘sfdc.override’ contains ‘MedRec__c’.  If the page is displayed in a popup with a page include, then the parameter ‘sfdc.override’ does NOT contain MedRec__c.  I can use this to control whether or not my “Save and Close” button is displayed. 

It seems that the render conditions access the URL I see in my browser and not the query string in the page include.  

I am also having the problem with conditional rendering on tabs in Included page based on the parameter provided through query string. And it seems that the render conditions access the URL I see in the browser and not the query string in the page include.  

Any Idea?

Ok I take all that back.  Page includes cannot currently read query strings for processing things in the page like conditional rendering, using the global merge {{$Param.name}} syntax etc. They are effective for server side processing (like model conditions).  But once the page is “included”  it looks to the parameters that are set for the parent page, and not for any parameters you sent along in the page include query string.  This is a known issue,  but I’m not sure when we are going to be able to fix it. 

Our reccomendation is to use model data to control your client side processing rather than using URL parameters.  Have a parameter effect a model condition and then show the data from the model,  or conditionally render based on the model. 

Sorry about the inconvienence. 

Circling back on this. I’m not able to find a way to make this work. 

On my page to be included I have a ui-only boolean field called “IsInclude” in a model. I have a param condition on that model which looks for the url parameter ‘isinclude’

When ‘isinclude=true’ is in the URL passed to the include, shouldn’t my IsInclude field be set to true?

No matter what I do, it’s false.
