dealing with jumpTo page

[ramjet]

I get a jumpTo page set in a module back as its id number....
To convert this to a url I can....

$objPage = $this->Database->prepare("SELECT id, alias FROM tl_page WHERE id=?")
->limit(1)
 ->execute($objConfig->jumpTo);

if ($objPage->numRows)
{
$bookingFormPage = $objPage->alias . $GLOBALS['TL_CONFIG']['urlSuffix'];
}

$this->redirect($bookingFormPage);

but what if the website has not elected to use $GLOBALS['TL_CONFIG']['urlSuffix'] ??

Is there an easier way to convert a page id to its url?

I always use this code:

$objPage = $this->Database->prepare("SELECT id, alias FROM tl_page WHERE id=?")
->limit(1)
->execute($objConfig->jumpTo);

if ($objPage->numRows)
{
    $bookingFormPage = ampersand($this->generateFrontendUrl($objPage->fetchAssoc()));
}

$this->redirect($bookingFormPage);

generateFrontendUrl is a method of controller class

Thats perfect thank you grapio :D

[ramjet]

And how would you use this to get the url of the page you (that is - the script) is on?

[ramjet]

Got it.

global $objPage;
$this->generateFrontendUrl($objPage->row())

[ga.n]

Got it.

global $objPage;
$this->generateFrontendUrl($objPage->row())

or simply:
(http://api.contao.org/Library/Enviro...thodrequestUri)

$this->import('Environment');
$this->Environment->requestUri;

Seriously, Leo should provide a new function that generates frontend url directly from the page id...

Have you ticketed for this Tru?
If not, I will, It would be handy

[Tru]

No, I haven't yet. Feel free to make a ticket.

Seems easy enough. Check beforehand if the alias is supplied, if not retrieve it from the db. The function replaceInsertTags does the same thing for link insert tags; it accepts both alias or id and gets the other argument from the db.
