    I need to create a list of meetings that when the user clicks on a meeting link will open up a new page populated with the details on that meeting.
    I have created a lot of master list with detail pages in regular php but I am having a hard time properly populating the detail template with specific meeting information inside of wordpress. I am trying to figure out how to pass the meeting ID within WordPress.
    Any advice is greatly appreciated, thank you!

    I think you want to pass the meeting id via the URL, something like this: <a href='http://mysite.com/detail/?meetingid=121' ...

    Then, in the detail templage use code similar to this:

    if (isset($_GET['meetingid'])) {
   $meetingid = $_GET['meetingid'];
   // process this meeting id
} else {
   // error - page called with no meeting id
}
