get page URL?

charlie.choc · 2017-07-06 23:35:44

I'm trying to get the URL of various pages on my site in phpPlugins so I can add something only on the home with ttg_main_bottom.

The code i'm using is: $actual_link = "https://$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]$_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]";

except it always returns the home page URL on each page except for the galleries

eg: I always see https://stalkinglight.com even when the page URL is https://stalkinglight.com/about/.

Hi Charlie,

I use following function to determine if I am on the home page:

function is_home_page() {
   if ( $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] == '/' ) {
      return 1;
   }  else {
      return 0;
   }
}

Based on what you wrote, this doesn't seem to work for your host

Thanks Daniel,

I'm doing something wrong since I have the exact same code in both ttg_main_bottom and ttg_single_bottom and the results are different - works fine in ttg_single_bottom but only returns the home page URL in ttg_main_bottom.

I'm using a LAMP server on my own computer.

OK, I figured it out. I was using "=" instead of "==" in my comparison so I was actually assigning the variable instead of comparing them. Obviously I've forgotten my C/C++ days.

Great! Don't know how many hours total I lost overlooking this type of typo....
