Determine the current view

brunocamilo

Hello Vanilla community!

I'm trying to develop a plugin to display content in the side menu of the site.

I wish can determine the current view for display different content (for example, main page 'discussions', a category page, a single post, a search, etc ...)

I tried to get information from the querystring with $_GET['p'] but do not return anything, I try use '$ Sender-> ControllerName' but always is 'discussionscontroler' and does not give me more information.

¿Any ideas?

Thanks in advance. I hope can help you in the future!

A greeting.

echo ($Sender->FetchViewLocation());

You can do this in 2.1 like this:

if (InSection("Discussion")) {
    // Whatever
}

This function return error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function InSection()

I am in: MyClass extends Gdn_Plugin -> public function Base_Render_Before(&$Sender)

Thanks!

You can do this in 2.1 [...]

I don't know how to do something similar in <2.1 though

Ok, $Sender->FetchViewLocation() and $_SERVER[QUERY_STRING] is what I was looking for!

This works!

Thank you very much!

--- exactly this:
$QS = $_SERVER[QUERY_STRING];
if ($QS == '') $QS = 'p=discussions';
parse_str($QS, $info);
$QS = $info['p'];
