Hi everyone,

Im trying to simply print a proper link tag inside my user defined tag but its not working, anyone have any ideas why?

This is what i have tried based on the website examples:

Code: Select all

$smarty = &$gCms->GetSmarty();
$smarty_data = "{cms_selflink page='Job Details' text='test'}";
$smarty->_compile_source('temporary template', $smarty_data, $_compiled );
@ob_start();
$smarty->_eval('?>' . $_compiled);
$_contents = @ob_get_contents();
@ob_end_clean();
echo $_contents;

Thanks,

I'm thinking there might be something going on with the buffering stuff. I would try it without and see what you get.

Code: Select all

global $gCms;
$smarty = &$gCms->GetSmarty();
$smarty_data = "{cms_selflink page='Job Details' text='test'}";
$smarty->_compile_source('temporary template', $smarty_data, $_compiled );
$smarty->_eval('?>' . $_compiled);

You could also go directly to the Hierarchy Manager, grab the content object and call GetURL() on it to achieve pretty much the same result.

Hi there, your second suggestion worked, I now need to add a url parameter to the address. So for example, currently my code below returns me

http://www.mysite.com/websites/cmsmades ... tails.html

but i need to pass it an argument which i could retrieve using $_GET in php, so i need something like

http://www.naimanclarke.com.au/websites ... id/55.html

how should i specify a parameter, i couldnt see any function in the contentoperations class.

thanks,

BTW here is the code i used to get the url without parameters,

Code: Select all

$manager =& $gCms->GetHierarchyManager();
$node =& $manager->sureGetNodeByAlias('job-details');
$content =& $node->GetContent();
echo $content->GetURL();
