Answered Can you use $modx->makeUrl within manager CMP?

Hi all,

MODX version: 2.2.12

I have a custom manager page that contains orders. Within those orders, I generate a simple link to 'manage' the order. This link contains the href: .

So this should send me to my CMP which is ID 83, as listed above, and along with that it'll send the order ID so the page can grab it with a call.

With this setup, clicking the link just takes me to the same CMP as I was in, essentially just refreshing the page. So is it possible to utilize the makeUrl within a CMP?

Thanks and let me know if further info is needed! Cheers. [ed. note: modx125 last edited this post 12 years, 7 months ago.]

Since you know what you want in the URL, you don't really need makeUrl(). You should be able to use something like this:

$url = MODX_BASE_URL . 'manager/?a=83' . '&o=' . $order->id;

Yes, you were correct with all the above. I attempted adding the 'mgr' to the makeUrl() however it still linked to the same page. What you say about 83 being an action as opposed to a resource makes complete sense.

I applied your third option (passing the info with the makeUrl()) and it works very well.

Thank you very much for the assistance. You're always helpful and I really appreciate it. I'm buying your book, MODX: The Official Guide, today. I figure if you always have the answers and you authored the book...it has to be good. Thanks again.

I'm glad I could help. Thanks for the kind words, and for buying my book.
