URL Parameters
From b2evolution manual
[edit] URL Parameters
This man page refers to b2evolution version: 1.6 "phoenix"
b2evolution relies a lot on the querystring, these variables passed with the URL (note: to pass variables in the querystring, preceed the first variable name with a '?' question mark and every other variables with a '&' sign.) Most of the time you won't have to do anything about it, but if you want to know how it works, it's here:
[edit] author
author number: selects posts from that author only list of author numbers: selects posts from all listed authors only Values must by separated by comma (,) Starting the list with a minus (-) will select posts from all authors except the listed ones.
[edit] blog
number of the blog to be displayed. This is for RSS generation mainly.
[edit] cat
category number: selects posts from that category only list of category numbers: selects posts from all listed categories only Values must by separated by comma (,) Starting the list with a minus (-) will select posts from all categories but the listed ones. Starting the list with an asterisk (*) will select posts wich are cetgorized simultaneously in ALL resquested categories. This parameter can be just - or * if you combine it with catsel below.
[edit] catsel%5B%5D
if this was unencoded it would actually read catsel[] . Think this is a joke? Actually yes, PHP sometimes feels like a joke! This is the normal way of passing multiple values for a parameter in PHP! this parameter can appear several times with a different category number these will add up to the cat list (except if exclusion mode is used)

[edit] Examples
* *index.php?m=200107** will display the month of July 2001.
* *index.php?m=20010701** will display all posts from July 1st, 2001.
* *index.php?w=20** will display the posts from the 20th week of the year, where January 1st is in the first week (according to PHP).
* *index.php?p=50** will display the post labeled #50 in the database.
* index.php?s=blue+house will display the posts that match the search request "blue house".
here is the code for a simple search box:
(php)
<form name="searchform" action="<?php blogingo('blogurl') ?>" method="get">
&ly;input type="text" name="s" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="search" />
&tl;/form>
* index.php?cat=1** will display all posts that belong to category #1 (1 is the default). you can add/rename/delete categories from b2's interface.
* index.php?author=1** will display all posts from the author #1
* index.php?p=50&c=1** will display the comments to the post #50 and a form to add a comment below the post.
you should use this variable only with p=, example: index.php?p=50&c=1
* index.php?p=50&tb=1** will display the Trackbacks to the post #50.
you should use this variable only with p=, example: index.php?p=50&tb=1
* index.php?p=50&pb=1** will display the Pingbacks to the post #50.
you should use this variable only with p=, example: index.php?p=50&pb=1
* *index.php?p=50&more=1 will display the extended entries' text. this, too, should be used only with p=**, for individual entries.
* *index.php?p=50&page=1 will display the first page of post #50. this, again, should be used only with p=**, for individual entries.
You can also mix these variables, example: index.php?m=200107&s=hotdog will display the posts that match the search request "hotdog", but only in July 2001.
