i know you can use this (isset($this->request->get['path'])) to get the path on a get()
but what if its a post, how would i parse on the url?
thanks

just doing some testing,
if (isset($this->request->post['post'])) {
$path = $this->request->post['post'];
echo "TEST";
echo $path;
}
i get no echo
do i need to do something on the sending side attach the path to the post?

Try this
Code: Select all
if (isset($REQUEST_['path'])) {
$path = $REQUEST_['path'];
echo "TEST";
echo $path;
}

You got your underscore in the wrong spot..
should be $_REQUEST['path']
But still, the original code was fine, you just aren't passing "path" as a POST variable so you will never see the echo

Hey guys,
I have a similar question. I am using
Code: Select all
<?php if (isset($_GET['path'])) { ?>
Unfortunately after SEO URL option is enabled, there is no more 'path'. How can I check if it is a category and which specific category it is?
Thanks in advance.

At that point $_GET is no longer used. The seo_url controller then sets its values using $this->request. So use:

Hey guys, it is me again.
I have similar problem again. I want the slider to appear only on home page. I am using this construction:
Code: Select all
<?php if (isset($_GET['route'])) { ?>
<?php $id = $_GET['route']; ?>
<?php } ?>
<?php if ($id == "common/home") { ?>
<div id="slider"></div>
<?php } else { ?>
<?php echo "" ?>
<?php } ?>
The problem is that when you first reach the index page 'route' is still not set. Any advice would be highly appreciated. How can I made the silder to appear only when it is home page, even if 'route' is not set yet?
Thanks in advance

Corrected & Simplified:
Code: Select all
<?php if (!isset($this->request->get['route']) || (isset($this->request->get['route']) && $this->request->get['route'] == 'common/home')) { ?>
<div id="slider"></div>
<?php } ?>
