Hi!

I’ve switched on the "friendly alias path" option and I’m trying to get retrieve contents of some document by its alias (I use getDocumentObject function). But this function contains following code -

       $sql= "SELECT sc.*
              FROM $tblsc sc
              LEFT JOIN $tbldg dg ON dg.document = sc.id
              WHERE sc." . $method . " = '" . $identifier . "'
              AND ($access) LIMIT 1;";

and it cannot find complex aliases like ’one/two/three.html’ by scanning modx_site_content.alias field...
I thought that ModX must have parser for such aliases to convert it to ids.

What you can advice to me?

PS I’m using ModX 0.9.6.1b.

$modx->getDocumentObject is an internal function and not a public API; it’s used to prepare the requested document for rendering by the parser. There is currently not a function for looking up a document by the full alias path. This is something you would need to write a function to accomplish for now, perhaps using the $modx->documentListing array, which does have the full alias path (without the prefix/suffix applied) as the keys, or $modx->aliasListing which has the alias and path in an array indexed by document id.

Upcoming releases will have a function for looking up the document id by the fully-qualified alias (including extensions for various content types).
