Accessing current page alias in a userdefined tag

[anthony]

I am creating my own UDT and am having trouble figuring out how I can access the current page alias.

What really would be helfpul is any type of documentation that would list out everything that is available in the $GLOBALS['gCms'] array because ultimately I would like to use the full-path to the current file for a custom form that I am creating.

For example if I could figure out this full path, http://www.domain.com/contact/form/, from inside the tag if the 'form' page is the current page that I am on it would make life easier.

If that makes sense, any help would be appreciated.  If you need some clarification, just let me know.

You could give

{get_template_vars} on a content-page to see all passed variables.

I used the "mailtofriend"-tag to pass the referer-URL in the message-subject. The code initially passed the current-page (your request), but that would put the page on which te mailtofriend-tag was shown instead of request.

I think that things like currenturl, referer etc... are existing PHP-parameters, that can be called without real scrpting required. If you chec:

you'll find some usefull predefined variables.

I guess that is a good point.  So far, I've noticed whenever I try to do a bit more coding I eventually find out that there already is some pre-existing code to do what I was trying in CMSMS.  While it makes me feel not all that smart, it does reinforce the community for sure.

You might check here for some standard PHP-variables.

You might have to combine two variables to get the complete set. But basically thez

the $page_alias variable in smarty contains the current page alias.

To access this within a UDT, you'd do this:

Code: Select all

global $gCms;
$smarty =& $gCms->GetSmarty();
$page_alias = $smarty->get_template_vars('page_alias');

As I suspected, it was built in already.  Thanks .
