Passing parameter to TBS in Joomla

Is it possible for TBS use a variable passed when article is loaded?
For example if it is called with:
index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=25&Itemid=12&profile=2
it can pull out the profile=2 part or something along those lines?

Hi?

profile=2 can be retrieved in PHP trough $_GET['profile'] or in the template using [var._GET.profile].

Re: Passing parameter to TBS in Joomla

So, I have code that says:
{tbs}mergeblock=m;sql=SELECT url, summary, name, sport FROM users WHERE user_id = profile{/tbs}
I've tried both of [var._GET.profile] and $_GET['profile'] but both give MySQL errors.
This is just a normal article page, so I can only use HTML and stuff within {tbs} tags.
Thanks for your help so far.

Ah, I've done it in an embedded script. Would there be any issues with doing that way rather than via an external script?

It should works also in an embedded script.

There is a security point with embedded scripts in TBS articles: be sure that only admins are allowed to edit the article.
