Hiya,

Not really any specific use really other than someone had asked in this thread about how to get at that information so I thought I would have a go at making a plugin to do just that.

People have used it for different uses such as bread-crumb trails and the like but really it does just what it says on the tin (tin is located at the top post! ).

If people find a use for it then great but I really just made it to help someone out in a post the once and thought I would place it into the plugins forum for people to use.

One plugin that I just created that you may (or may not) find useful though - depending on if you use comments on your site or not - is my new Group Comment plugin.

Sorry I can’t give more information on this plugin though as I never used it myself but rather just created it to help someone out.

Speak to you soon.

Best wishes,

Mark

Hi Mark,

I love the plugin

do you know if I can build a url and use a variable then grab the content using $_GET?

What I want to do is grab the current URL, pass it along to a popup window which has a tell a friend form.

Then in the head of the popup Tell a Friend template I have -

Lastly I have this code to output it -

Hi Steven,

Unfortunately some of your code is missing above but I think I get what you are after.

I’ve never done it using my plugin as that was just written for one single purpose but what you are after can definitely be done and might be a little easier if you use a session variable as opposed to PHP, just keeps the templates looking a little neater in my mind

There’s a very good session variables plugin available here :

Session Variables

You could set the session variable to the current page and then when you go to the next page you should be able to retrieve it really easily. As for using my plugin in conjunction with that one I’ve never tried it so can’t say that it would definitely work but you could always use something like this instead if it doesn’t :

and so on and so forth up until 9 segments and do it that way I guess instead. You could also write a simple plugin which would do all this for you too probably so that you would find the URI first and then write it into a session variable and then have a tag on your next page which brings back the session variable again. So basically taking my plugin and the session variables plugin and creating them as one entity.

Hope some of that helps.

Best wishes,

Mark
