Get site URL inside templates for share buttons

You can pass variables into templates, but it will not work with perch_content(). You would have to use perch_content_custom().

Already tried that and it works, but i need to collect the slub as well. I have a created a list detail with undersites and slub from title. Is this possible?

Or use:

<perch:setting id="siteURL" />

I also found this snippet: <?php perch_page_url(); ?>. Obviously i need the template to be php instead of html, is that possible as well?

How would you set up this if its the <?php perch_page_url(); ?> information i need to get into my template?

Thanks in advance

<?php PerchSystem::set_var('var_url', perch_page_url()); ?>

Then in template...

<perch:content id="var_url" type="hidden" />

But you have to use perch_content_custom()

https://docs.grabaperch.com/docs/templates/passing-variables-into-templates/

I already got this.

<?php
        perch_content_custom('Projects', array(
          'page' => '/strategy.php',
          'template' => 'projects-template.html',
          'filter' => 'slug',
          'match' => 'eq',
          'value' => perch_get('s'),
          'count' => 1,
        ));
        ?>

Then all you need to do is follow the above and it will be working...

Is this correct? Cant get it to work. I only get the domain name not the whole url. I get: https://mydomain.com/perch_page_url/

The url i need is https://mydomain.com/projects.php?s=projectname

<?php
        PerchSystem::set_var('var_url', perch_page_url);
        perch_content_custom('Projects', array(
          'page' => '/strategy.php',
          'template' => 'projects-template.html',
          'filter' => 'slug',
          'match' => 'eq',
          'value' => perch_get('s'),
          'count' => 1,
        ));
        ?>

Then you need to append the slug (s) to the url in your template. The "url" is simply the url. If you need additional quarry information appended then you have to append this in your template.

something like this...

<a href="<perch:content id="var_url" type="hidden" />?s=<perch:content id="slug" />">link</a>

Since I have never seen your actual template I have to generalize some of this, but enough is here to give a good idea of how this works.

:)

Yes, but still missing the projects.php in between.

<a href="/<perch:content id="var_url" type="hidden"/>?s=<perch:content id="slug" type="hidden"/>">Share</a>

With this code i get: https://mydomain.com/perch_page_url?s=projectname

What i need to get: https://mydomain.com/projects.php?s=projectname

Is my perch_page_url code wrong somewhere? Tried to replace with projects.php but dont like .'s very much. Not an php expert as you probably already noticed. Really appreciate all the help.

Actually i ended up with only getting the slug but the other way worked as well. Thanks!
