Code to display the present page URL

[DelMonico Hatter]

Hello,

This might be something I am missing that is totally obvious, but I am looking for a simple way to use some miva code on a the PROD page template to make it output the present page's URL. (I do have toolkit installed, if that helps.) I know that I can call the present page's URL using Javascript, but I don't want to do that for this situation.

There are of course several versions of any given product page. The code I am seeking would have the URL of the page presently visible to the user.

Thanks!

Re: Code to display the present page URL

<mvt:if expr="NOT g.secure">
&mvt:global;sessionURL;
<mvt:else>
&mvt:global;secure_sessionURL;
</mvt:if>

But, why? Its in the URL Address bar.

Re: Code to display the present page URL

Thanks for the info - I guess I need it without the sessionid though, since we use SEO Short Links.

What I'm trying to do is duplicate the currently displayed link, but with a link to an anchor at the end to bring the customer further down the page, to see the product reviews on that page.

Anchor format is #pr-header-{productcode}

Thus:

http://www.delmonicohatter.com/Kangol/IT57.htm#pr-header-IT57

will get me to the reviews section of that page.

To re-create the above, I use the following code:

<a href="/&mvt:category:code;/&mvt:product:code;.htm#pr-header-&mvt:product:code;">

Thee only thing is that we have more than one version of that page. The generic (no-category) version is:

http://www.delmonicohatter.com/product/IT57.htm#pr-header-IT57

Hence I'm looking for some code that will show the user the URL as it is displayed, so that I can tack on a # anchor after.

The solution I do have works for what we need it for, but I was hoping for an easy way to get the current user-displayed URL to output using miva code, if there was one.

Best,
Brandon

Re: Code to display the present page URL

Check the variable you have for: g.domain:name (&mvt:global:domain:name;). If that appears to be www.delmonicohatter.com, then use:

&mvt:global:domain:name;/product/&mvt:product_code;.htm#pr-header-&mvt:product:code;

on all pages. Since this is just a name anchor link to the same page, there is no reason to reference the category based version. However, if you want, just use a conditional (mvt:if expr="g.category_code") and include the category link.

Lastly, since this is a on-page reference, you could probably get rid of the second product code reference and just use 'pr-header'.
