Dymanic Page parameter

Question

Hi,
i am trying to do a dymanic page with two parameters but did not work.
My code:
<ORACLE>
declare
dt_inicial date := :inicial;
dt_final date := :final;
cursor c1 is
select createdate, display_name title, name link, parent_id
from PORTAL.WWSBR_ALL_FOLDERS
where parent_id in (311411, 355458, 424539, 478702, 306726, 399236, 384259, 370057, 326232, 467393, 459982, 442742)
and createdate between to_date(dt_inicial, 'dd/mm/yyyy') and to_date(dt_final, 'dd/mm/yyyy') order by createdate desc;
begin
for x in c1 loop
end loop;
end;
</ORACLE>
When i replace the :inicial and :final for a static value, the page works.
Somebody can help me with this problem?
Thanks.

Hi Bruno,
I presume you are using the dynamic page portlet ? If so check that you ticked the 'Make Public' checkboxes for your bind variables in the button options section of the portlet definition.
You must also 'wire up' the bind variables to page parameters (page properties > parameters tab). In your example you will need to add two parameters, say inicial and final, navigate to the portlet parameter values section of the page for your portlet and for each bind variable, select 'Page Parameter' from the drop down and the associated parameter name you added above
You will then be able to enter these parameters at the end of your url e.g.
http://yoursite.com:port/portal/page/portal/<pagename>?inicial=<value>&final=<value>
Hope this is what you meant :)
