How do I output a friendly url.

Vaz

Hi guys, I'm trying to put a little text box in every post which will have the linkback url inside it. I'd like the url to be static (friendly url). How can I make it so it echoes the friendly version of the posts url and not normal url. Kind regards, Vaz

Leave out the redundant apostrophes to start with!

Hi,
sorry, I'm not sure to understand, do you want to make some kind of Comment Links?

Hi Grahack,
I'm actually trying to achieve something like this:

Grahack

discussion.php template file uses
GetUrl($this->Context->Configuration, 'comments.php', '', 'DiscussionID', $Discussion->DiscussionID, '', '#Item_1', CleanupString($Discussion->Name).'/')
to build the url of the first post, maybe it will inspire you...

Thanks for that Grahack.

I'm trying to make an addon. I've keep getting the following however:
Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in

Is $this valid when being used in an addon?

I also tried using:
$this->Context->Configuration['BASE_URL'] .'?CommentID='. $Comment->CommentID;
& removing the ->Context bit
and got the same result.

$this can only be used from inside a class. It can be used for an addon, but only if you define a class. $this, if used inside a class MyNeatClass, will then refer to the object created according to MyNeatClass (using new MyNeatClass()) itself.
$Context object is accessible from your default.php file.
for some more (and clearer) informations about object oriented programming...

Add a line of code to get that value and put it in a variable:
$baseurl = $Context->Configuration['BASE_URL'];
