[SOLVED] get page alias in UDT for use in admin page templat

I need to be able to get the page alias in a UDT which is used in admin in a page template. This to use the dropdown_from_udt in ECB module for which I am trying to pull data from certain content blocks from the same page which I can do if the alias is in the UDT. It isn't possible to pass a Smarty param to the UDT. I just don't know the api syntax for doing this.
I tried using $content_obj->Alias() but it doesn't work.
Code: Select all
$result = false;
$gCms = cmsms();
$contentops = $gCms->GetContentOperations();
$content_obj = $contentops->getContentObject();
$result = Array();
// $alias = "events-test"; THIS WORKS
$alias = $content_obj->Alias();
if( $alias != '' ) {
$content = $contentops->LoadContentFromAlias($alias);
if(is_object($content)) {
for ($i=1;$i<=2;$i++) {
$block = 'speaker_name_' . $i;
$result[$content->GetPropertyValue($block)] = $content->GetPropertyValue($block);
}
}
}
return $result;

The answer is simple - $content_obj does not exist in admin
.

does this work?
Code: Select all
$hm = cmsms()->GetHierarchyManager();
$node = $hm->getId();

Nope afraid not. Gives a blank screen when trying to edit the page.

I solved this using GET which I tried before but had a syntax error, Doh!!
It now uses the content id not the alias.
This very useful as it enables you to cross reference content within a page. E.G. This is for a page for conference programme where they have a number of speakers which need to show their details and assign a number of speakers to different time slots which this allows me to do.
Code: Select all
$result = false;
$gCms = cmsms();
$contentops = $gCms->GetContentOperations();
$content_obj = $contentops->getContentObject();
$result = Array();
$page_id = htmlspecialchars($_GET['content_id']);
if($page_id != '') {
$content = $contentops->LoadContentFromID($page_id);
if(is_object($content)) {
for ($i=1;$i<=2;$i++) {
$block = 'speaker_name_' . $i;
$result[$content->GetPropertyValue($block)] = $content->GetPropertyValue($block);
}
}
}
return $result;
P.S. Thanks Velden I was in the middle of posting this when you replied.
