Which is the preferred method of getting a full URL with the entry title at the end?  I can’t really see the difference aside from implementing them.

That is to say, which is better:

A.  <a href=’{title_permalink=template_group/template}’>

- or -

B.  Setting the Comment Page URL and using <a href=’{comment_url_title_auto_path}’>

That depends entirely on your setup. In any given installation I might use both in different templates.  Generally I prefer B since I usually correlate template groups to weblogs, but that’s my own personal preference.  There is no best practice here.

Thanks for the fast response Lisa.  Just for future reference, and so I can wrap my head around it, what would be the advantage of using A in one template and B in another?

Either will work.

I actually prefer:

C. url_title_path 😉

I only use comment_url_title_auto_path when I have to—because it obscures the target template in the code.  With url_title_path or title_permalink you can see right where the link is going.

FWIW I just did a little screencast showing where comment_url_title_auto_path comes in handy.

C!?!??!

“You’re killing me Smalls!”  😊

So, what does ur_title_path do differently / how would you use it? 

If I just go <a href=’{url_title_path}’> that just takes me to a URL with no template group in front of it and hence an invalid page (assuming its not the default template group I guess).

Those are questions the docs are good at answering..😉
