Get the current URL

Hi,

I need get the current page's url for to insert in category template.

I tested:

1.- <%g%>

2.- <%Plugins::ULTRAGlobals::Get_Current_URL()%>

3.- and two 'Globals':

3.1.-
sub {
return $CFG->{build_root_url} .$ENV{REQUEST_URI};
}

3.2.-
sub {
use GT::CGI;
my $in = new GT::CGI;
my $url = $in->url(absolute => 1);
return $url;
}

All works fine in dynamic pages but don't work in static pages.

For example, if the URL is: http://www.mysite/category4/subcategory8/more32.html

The results are:

1.- (D) /category4/subcategory8/more32.html
(S) Unknown Tag: 'g'

2.- (D) http://www.mysite/category4/subcategory8/more32.html
(S) http://www.mysite

3.1.-(D) http://www.mysite/category4/subcategory8/more32.html
(S) http://www.mysite

3.2.- (D) /category4/subcategory8/more32.html
(S) nph-build.cgi

How could get the current URL in static pages? Or will be a problem in my site?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

What do you need the current URL for?

May be simpler to just use Javascript:

Code:
<script>alert("Current URL: " + window.location.href)</script>

Re: [Andy] Get the current URL In reply to

Hi Andy,

I am developing a category pages that are static but can be expanded dynamically.

The URL of the category page is:

http://www.mysite.com/Category/Subcategory/index.html

And then inside there is a hyperlink that allows expanding the page, showing the hidden part, if the visitor clicks on:

<a href="/cgi-bin/page.cgi?g=Category/subcategory/index.html;advanced=1">[Click here]</a>

For the template, I need something like this:

<a href="/cgi-bin/page.cgi?g=<%g%>;advanced=1">[Click here]</a>

<% g%> works fine if the category page is dynamic but not if it is static.

Do you understand it?

Cheers ,

JoseML

Re: [JoseML] Get the current URL In reply to

Ok, you could try:

Code:
<%if g%><%g%><%else%><%make_category_url($ID)%><%endif%>

Then a new global called "make_category_url", with:

Code:
sub { 
  return $DB->table('Category')->as_url( $_[0]  )  . "/" . $CFG->{build_index}; 
}

Untested, but should work :)

Re: [Andy] Get the current URL In reply to

Hi Andy,

Thanks for your help but the new global is not working properly.

When the static URL is:

.../3/132/562/more3.html

The result is:

562.index.html

Cheers,

Re: [JoseML] Get the current URL In reply to

Ok, how about calling it with:

<%if g%><%g%><%else%><%make_category_url($Full_Name)%><%endif%>

Does that work?

Re: [Andy] Get the current URL In reply to

Thanks Andy, but it's still not working properly.

If the static URL of the category page is:

/cat1/cat2/more3.html

When I use:
<%make_category_url($Full_Name)%>

The result is:
/cat1/cat2/index.html (more3.html is not included)

I have also tried the <%page_on%> tag:
<%make_category_url($Full_Name)%><%endif%>/more<%page_on%>

And the result is:
/cat1/cat2/index.html/more3.html

Only need to delete index.html

Cheers,

JoseML

Re: [JoseML] Get the current URL In reply to

Totally untested, but try:

make_category_url

Code:
sub { 
	if ($_[1] > 1) { 
		return $DB->table('Category')->as_url( $_[0] ) . "/more$_[1]"; 
	} else { 
		return $DB->table('Category')->as_url( $_[0] ) . "/" . $CFG->{build_index}; 
	} 

}

Code:
<%if g%><%g%><%else%><%make_category_url($Full_Name,$paging.current_page)%><%endif%>

Untested, but should do the trick

Cheers

Oops, was a typo in the above global. Please try the revised one (was missing a ")
