Answer

Not sure I understand your question. You can pass any variable to a TWiki topic as a URL paramter, e.g. .../bin/view/Web/TopicName?anyparam=ok, then display that in the topic using the %URLPARAM{}% variable, e.g. %URLPARAM{"anyparam"}%. An example in action is TWikiInstallations.

If you have a variable in a Plugin to display, you can introduce a new variable in the Plugin's commonTagsHandler callback routine. See TWikiPlugins for more.

Hello Peter,

Thanks very much. It worked. When I pass the variable as suggested by you, it can be seen in the address bar of the browser. Is there a way to hide it?

If you don't mind, I have more question, Can I pass more than one variable to a Twiki topic?

Hide parameters: In the HTML form you could use method="post" instead of method="get".

Multiple parameters: .../bin/view/Web/TopicName?anyparam=ok&param2=etc, then write %URLPARAM{"anyparam"}%, %URLPARAM{"param2"}%
