Get current alias path or link

Not really the same question but it’s related : in the modx tags list, I didn’t find the way to retrieve the path to the current document
, something like [(alias_path)]... how do I get that ?

The reason is I have a footer with a validation link and I’d like something like :



It’s certainly straightforward but if you could help me ?

<a href="http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=[(alias_path)]">valid XHTML</a>

There is no current way to do that with a tag, other than [~[*id*]~], though I believe you’d need to do it this way to portably support this regardless of your friendly alias url and use alias path settings.

Thanks Jason Mark (uh sorry, really tired...) !

I tried to reconstruct the path with [(site_url)][~[*id*]~], but it would not work to get folder/page.html or any hierarchical url for that matter... Then I realized my own stupidity about the validation link

You just need http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=referer (I am REALLY tired !)

lol

I have found that link doesn’t work for people who have ZoneAlarm or Norton Internet Security installed because it masks the referrer information.

Don’t prepend [(site_url)] to the link tag; these [~~] tags will automatically prepend the site’s base_url value to the link when processed, just like $modx->makeUrl() will. And it should also resolve any alias path according to your site’s use_alias_path setting.

Hmmm, strange, when I used [~[*id*]~] alone, I only got something like aliasofpage.html and no base url (I got base href defined in my template...). Where did I go wrong there ?

Good catch, but I’ll go with that for now, maybe I’ll add a warning to firewall’s user in the link’s title... or in the site FAQ.
