Indexhibit Support

Ok, I'm asking this again, is there a tag for the current url? If there isn't, how could I implement one. I've looked at index.php (in the root) and found code that I think is about tags, but I'm not sure. Vaska told me that I can add a tag for the current url via the database, but I'm not sure where to begin.

I need a tag like < % currenturl % > so that it displays the url that the page is on, so that I can create Facebook and Twitter links, and a permalink.

Read what I mean here.

Please can someone reply ASAP, this is really important to me.

My site is louisbullock.co.cc

1. <%url%>

http://www.indexhibit.org/tutorial/how-to-write-a-plugin/

I'm reading that now, trying to piece something together (though I have no knowledge of php).

Vaska, I'm wondering if I should just modify this code:

So it reads:

I'm not sure about the asterisk there, but I'm not sure where to put

Which I'm told will give the current url.

Here's what I've tried putting together, but I'm certain I'm doing something wrong:

1. <?php if  defined'SITE'  exit'No direct script access allowed'

/**
* Current Url
*
* Plugin
*
* @version 0.1
* @author Louis Bullock
*/

// Please review the included readme.txt and license.txt files before using this software.

function current_url( $txt=null, $brk=0 ) {
global $rs;
if ($rs['current_url'] != '') {

// Defaults for the variables above.
if ( $brk == null ) $brk = 0;

// Better safe(-ish) than sorry.
strip_tags($txt);

// Determine whether user is adding text and wants a break.
if ( $brk == 1 ) {
$txt = "
$txt";
} elseif ( $txt != null ) {
$txt = " $txt" ;
}

// We will now get the current url, according to the server.
$url = (!empty($_SERVER['HTTPS'])) ? "https://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] : "http://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

// Then, we put together the current url.
$currenturl = "n$url$txt";
}
// Return the current url.
return $currenturl;
}

?>

... hmmm, this is a bit more simple but it works.
Maybe you can start modifying from this:

<?php

/**

* Current Url
*
* Plugin
*
* @version 0.1
* @author Louis Bullock
*/

// Please review the included readme.txt and license.txt files before using this software.
function current_url() {

// We will now get the current url, according to the server.

$current_url = (!empty($_SERVER['HTTPS'])) ? "https://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] : "http://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

// Return the current url.

return $current_url;

}

?>

add the code as plugin.current_url.php to your server and add this into the template where you need it.:

1. <plug:current_url />

1. $current_url = BASEURL . $rs['url'];

So easy...

haha :) ok that´s even better

Thanks Vaska, but where would I put that?

Wait don't worry, already did it.

Now, Vaska, I already know how to use < % BASEURL %>, that's not what I'm asking for, I already know how to get the base url, I'm talking about the url that the browser is currently on, e.g. if I'm on http://louisbullock.co.cc/design/havok/, then I want the tag to display http://louisbullock.co.cc/design/havok/. That way I can do < a href ="< % CURRENT_URL % >" >Permalink to this page< / a >, and it'll display the current url the browser is on (has navigated to and is currently on), that way I can create 'permalinks', like the 'Permalink Post' to the left of this post.

See what I mean? I don't mean to link to the domain/url of the main site, I mean baseurl + any directories navigated to after it.

I hope you get what I mean.

WAIT! Don't worry, figured that one out myself, instead of

1. $current_url = BASEURL . $rs['url'];

I just used

1. $current_url = (!empty($_SERVER['HTTPS'])) ? "https://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] : "http://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

Which ended up working fine.

So, if it's alright with you, I think the following code should be published in the downloads section (of plugins), as it'd help future users. And I'd title it "plugin.current_url.php".

1. <code style="overflow:auto;word-wrap:break-word;">
2. <?php
3. /**
4. * Current Url
5. *
6. * Plugin
7. *
8. * @version 0.1
9. * @author Louis Bullock
10. */

// Please review the included readme.txt and license.txt files before using this software.
function current_url() {

// We will now get the current url, according to the server.
$current_url = (!empty($_SERVER['HTTPS'])) ? "https://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] : "http://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

// Return the current url.
return $current_url;
}
?>

I mean:

... what is different from the version I posted?
Funny, this is actually working really good. ty it ;)

1. function current_url() {
2. global $rs;
3. $current_url = BASEURL . $rs['url'];
4. return $current_url;
5. }

Or...don't use a plugin at all...

1. <meta facebook:og:mollarkey:url:whatever value='<%baseurl%><%url%>' />

OMG: OMaaaaaaagod!!! Vaska, you are so smart!
Vaska: No, I only play smart on the internet. I'm really a dumbass.

;)

Booooo! :D Open Graph that´s too easy!

Guys don't worry it's all sorted out, all works fine. G470, there isn't a difference between what you posted and what I posted, just my name is added (not accurate though, credit goes to you).
