Get URL of current page

[matteth]

I tried to find out how I could get the URL of the current page into my .tpl-file.
Finally found a way, PHP variables through Smarty:
{$smarty.server.HTTP_HOST}{$smarty.server.REQUEST_URI}

This could for example be used to put a Facebook like button on the products.tpl that enables the user to like a specific item:

<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href={$smarty.server.HTTP_HOST}{$smarty.server.REQUEST_URI}&layout=button_count&show_faces=true&width=450&action=like&colorscheme=light&height=21" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:21px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>

Do you know of a better way? Please let me know

This is just exactly what i've been looking for! Thank you Matteth, you saved my day!

[cagrie]

mine too ^^

[matteth]

Great

I used

/product.php?id_product={$smarty.get.id_product}&

but yours is better for mod_rewrite links and maybe I`ll consider changing. Thanks for the hint.

[Richard S]

You can also use global variable $currentIndex and pass it to Smarty template files. It's very handy on modules.

[stephane-v]

You can also use :

{$link->getProductLink($product)}

It also works with mod_rewrite links.

may I know how I can I use this method to highlight the menu of the current page ?

 

Thanks in advance.

[Jupiterr]

You can use this on your menu to know in where category/product you are. Anyway, it's recommended to activate friendly URLS.

 

This applies the "Current" CSS style to that special button.

 

<li class="{if {$smarty.server.REQUEST_URI} == 'category.php?id_category=31'}current{/if}">

 

Good luck!

was looking for exactly this !

Thats very close to what I want to do.

 

I want to add an anchor link on the page but I want the link to be dynamic based on the URL of the current page.

e.g. If the current url is http://www.mydomain.com/en/widget.html then add a link to the English "Contact Us" page.

If the current url is http://www.mydomain.com/jp/widget.html then add a link to the Japanese "Contact Us" page.

 

What would be even cooler is if there is a Smarty variable that detects the language setting of the current page.

 

Is there a Smarty Variable for that too?

[alexafuentes]

I used this and it works, but the only problem is that when I turn "Force Compilation" to no, the link selected is the one of the last page I visited. Don't know how to fix, I would appreciate your help

[Liofey]

wow this is exactly what i am searching for. thank you

[silentRun]

You can also use this code:

 

{if $page_name == 'index'}
   <div class="home">
{else}
   <div>
{/if}

[theme_designer]

Will that work on latest PS version?

[Jiten rash (away)]

<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="">

<label>

<input name="textarea" type="text" id="textarea" value="" size="45" />

</label>

<a href="{$link->getPageLink('example')}">{l s='example' mod='the linl'}</a>

</form>

 

u will get the link there..!!

[ben mbarek afef]

yes thank you i found the answer

[vekia]

and the solution is... ? can you share it please, im more than convinced that it will be helpful for other merchants here

thanks in advance

[vinskate]

As usual... no reply

In php, you can find url with $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];

 

example:

LINK: http://localhost:80/mon-site/page-blog/

$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]: /mon-site/page-blog/

Hi, that's an interesting thread.

 

I am trying to change width of columns to get a larger column at some pages like the checkout process . ( still using PS 1.4)

 

I already modified the header.tpl  shown below to include and IF condition with  a custom larger  id="center_column_large" which I included in the global.css

{if  ($page_name == 'order' ) || ($page_name == 'order-confirmation' ) || ($page_name == 'authentication' )}
 <div id="custom_large_center_column" class="center_column">
 {else}        
 <div id="center_column" class="center_column">
  {/if}

Everything works perfect with the page specified above but it seems to work only with basic page name located at the root of prestashop. I am not able to add other transaction pages of some payments modules like $page_name == '/modules/bankwire/payment.php' located in deeper subdirectories.

 

I tried $page_name == 'modules/bankwire/payment'  and  $page_name == 'payment' and also $page_name == 'payment.php' no way I can get such page recognized in the IF condition above.
 

I am very close and don't seem so difficult, am I missing something?

Thanks

[vekia]

 

 

$page_name == 'modules/bankwire/payment'

modules/bankwire/payment is not a page name

 

in payment.php file located in bankwire directory (controllers/front subdirectory) add 

public $php_self = 'bankwire';

 

then you will be able to use $page-name == 'bankwire'

[davers44]

Thanks, it seems a great solution but I am afraid it works only with PS 1.5

 

In  PS1.4 the payment.php of the bankwire module  is located at  .../modules/bankwire/payment.php and  not under controllers.

I tried anyway to add  public $php_self = 'bankwire' to the payment.php anyway that give unexpected error.

 

Any idea how to get same result on PS1.4?

 

Thanks!

yes, unfortunately in prestashop 1.4 it will not work.

you can use condition like:

 

{assign var="url" value=$smarty.server.HTTP_HOST$smarty.server.REQUEST_URI}

{if $url=="http://yourwebsite.com/modules/bankwire/payment.php}

do something

{/if}

{if 

[davers44]

That is just  perfect, it allows you to target any page needed.

Thanks a lot Vekia!

[vekia]

that's right and you're welcome, of course

happy coding!

For those who searches this forum from search engines. The solution is to use global smarty variable in PrestaShop {$request} instead of {$smarty.server.HTTP_HOST}{$smarty.server.REQUEST_URI}.

Works in PS.16, did not check if available on PS1.5

[Ciuki]

Was looking for this myself, found the {$come_from} global smarty variable.
