I am currently using simple_html_dom to parse some MP3 files from another website, and store them onto my own server. However I've noticed that some of them contain a tag which indicates the location they originated from within the comment portion of the ID3 properties.
I need to make this website, say my own websites name. However, the only solution that I've found to doing this with PHP is beyond complicated using something called GETID3.php You can view the github link by clicking the name.
I don't really understand the documentation can someone help me find an easier way of doing this please?
Here's the part of my code that matters, I guess.
$mp3title = ''.$thetitle.' - Oursite.com';
file_put_contents($DPATH.'/temp/'.$mp3title.'.mp3',file_get_contents($filepath));
$file = $DPATH.'/temp/'.$mp3title.'.mp3';
Provided you're not interested in also updating the image of the file, you can look into just using something simple like the default php function id3_set_tag however for more complex usages like updating the artwork then you're going to have to use the library you mentioned before.
$data = array(
"title" => "Re:Start",
"artist" => "Re:\Legion",
"comment" => "YourWebsiteName.com"
);
$result = id3_set_tag($DPATH.'/temp/'.$mp3title.'.mp3', $data, ID3_V1_0 );
if ($result === true) {
echo "Tag successfully updated\n";
}
If I want to link to a cms page from a template with smarty, I currently use something like this:
{$link->getPageLink('cms',null,null,'id_cms=4')}
But that is going to generate a regular url (with query string), so if I activate pretty urls (url rewrite), it won't work. I analized the Link class but I can't find a way to generate a proper rewritten url. In fact, THERE IS a simple way:
{$link->getCMSLink(4)}
BUT, taking a look into Link::getCMSLink notes, I read that using an ID instead of a CMS object is deprecated. But from a template I don't have the cms object available.
Anyone had the same problem?
I found it really by "let's try if this one works".....
In PS1.6 you can get CMS object like:
$myCMS = new CMS( YOUR_CMS_ID );
If you want to use it in tpl, you have to define it in your controller e.g.:
$this->context->smarty->assign( "myCMS", $myCMS );
This is my solution. I recently tested it for Prestashop v1.6 and v1.7
This code utilizes the method getCMSLink of the Link class. It is necessary to know the id_cms of the CMS Page, to create the object model.
$link = new Link();
$cmsPageObject = new CMS(
$id_cms,
$id_lang
);
// $cmsLink has the URL string.
$cmsLink = $link->getCMSLink(
$cmsPageObject,
null,
Configuration::get("PS_SSL_ENABLED") === "1",
$id_lang,
null,
null
);
Goal: To send an email with a list of URLs generated from nodes.
In my custom module I have managed to get the node id which the user wants and I now want to get the URL of each node to put into my email.
I searched the db and used google but I can't seem to find the right solution.
It seems we need to construct the URL something like this:
<?php
global $base_url;
$link=$base_url."// few more parameters
You can use the url() function:
$options = array('absolute' => TRUE);
$nid = 1; // Node ID
$url = url('node/' . $nid, $options);
That will give you the absolute path (i.e. with http://example.com/ in front of it), with the URL aliased path to the node page.
You can also try drupal_lookup_path('alias',"node/".$node->nid).
Also you can get it by
$path=drupal_get_path_alias('node/'.$nid);
absolute path for nid
url('node/' . $node->id(), ["absolute" => TRUE]);
You can also use the l() function.
l(t('Link text'), 'node/123', array('options' => array('absolute' => TRUE)));
use
$node_url;
it will give you the current node url
How do you echo out current URL in Cake's view?
You can do either
From a view file:
<?php echo $this->request->here() ?>">
Which will give you the absolute url from the hostname i.e. /controller/action/params
Or
<?php echo Router::url(null, true) ?>
which should give you the full url with the hostname.
I prefer this, because if I don't mention "request" word, my IDE gives warning.
<?php echo $this->request->here; ?>
API Document:
class-CakeRequest
Edit:
To clarify all options
Current URL: http://example.com/en/controller/action/?query=12
// Router::url(null, true)
http://example.com/en/controller/action/
// Router::url(null, false)
/en/controller/action/
// $this->request->here
/en/controller/action/
// $this->request->here()
/en/controller/action/?query=12
// $this->request->here(false)
/en/controller/action/?query=12
// $this->request->url
en/controller/action
// $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]
/en/controller/action/?query=12
// strtok($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"],'?');
/en/controller/action/
<?php echo $_SERVER[ 'REQUEST_URI' ]; ?>
EDIT: or,
<?php echo $this->Html->url( null, true ); ?>
The following "Cake way" is useful because you can grab the full current URL and modify parts of it without manually having to parse out the $_SERVER[ 'REQUEST_URI' ] string and then manually concatenating it back into a valid url for output.
Full current url:
Router::reverse($this->request, true)
Easily modifying specific parts of current url:
1) make a copy of Cake's request object:
$request_copy = $this->request
2) Then modify $request_copy->params and/or $request_copy->query arrays
3) Finally: $new_url = Router::reverse($request_copy, true).
Cakephp 3.5:
echo $this->Url->build($this->getRequest()->getRequestTarget());
Calling $this->request->here() is deprecated since 3.4, and will be removed in 4.0.0. You should use getRequestTarget() instead.
$this->request is also deprecated, $this->getRequest() should be used.
I know this post is a little dated, and CakePHP versions have flourished since. In the current (2.1.x) version of CakePHP and even in 1.3.x if I am not mistaken, one can get the current controller/view url like this:
$this->params['url'];
While this method does NOT return the parameters, it is handy if you want to append parameters to a link when building new URL's. For example, we have the current URL:
projects/edit/6
And we want to append a custom parameter action called c_action with a value of remove_image, one could make use of $this->params['url]; and merge it with an array of custom parameter key => value pairs:
echo $this->Html->link('remove image', array_merge($this->params['url'], array('c_action' => 'remove_image'));
Using the above method we are able to append our custom parameters to the link and not cause a long chain on parameters to build up on the URL, because $this->params['url] only ever returns the controll action URL.
In the above example we'd need to manually add the ID of 6 back into the URL, so perahaps the final link build would be like this:
echo $this->Html->link('remove image', array_merge($this->params['url'], array($id,'c_action' => 'remove_image'));
Where $is is a the ID of the project and you would have assigned it to the variable $id at controller level. The new URL will then be:
projects/edit/6/c_action:remove_image
Sorry if this is in the slightest unrelated, but I ran across this question when searching for a method to achieve the above and thought others may benefit from it.
Getting the current URL is fairly straight forward in your view file
echo Router::url($this->here, true);
This will return the full url http://www.example.com/subpath/subpath
If you just want the relative path, use the following
echo $this->here;
OR
Ideally Router::url(“”, true) should return an absolute URL of the current view, but it always returns the relative URL. So the hack to get the absolute URL is
$absolute_url = FULL_BASE_URL + Router::url(“”, false);
To get FULL_BASE_URL check here
for CakePHP 3:
$this->Url->build(null, true) // full URL with hostname
$this->Url->build(null) // /controller/action/params
Getting current URL for CakePHP 3.x ?
In your layout :
<?php
$here = $this->request->here();
$canonical = $this->Url->build($here, true);
?>
You will get the full URL of the current page including query string parameters.
e.g. http://website.example/controller/action?param=value
You can use it in a meta tag canonical if you need to do some SEO.
<link rel="canonical" href="<?= $canonical; ?>">
In the request object you have everything you need.
To understand it:
debug($this->request->url);
and in your case
$here = $this->request->url;
To get the full URL without parameters:
echo $this->Html->url('/', true);
will return http(s)://(www.)your-domain.com
The simplest way I found is it that includes host/path/query and
works in Controllers (Cakephp 3.4):
Cake\View\Helper\UrlHelper::build($this->request->getRequestTarget());
which returns something like this (we use it as login callback url) :
http://192.168.0.57/archive?melkId=12
After a few research, I got this as perfect Full URL for CakePHP 3.*
$this->request->getUri();
the Full URL will be something like this
http://example.com/books/edit/12
More info you can read here: https://pritomkumar.blogspot.com/2017/04/how-to-get-complete-current-url-for.html
The Cake way for 1.3 is to use Router::reverse:
Link to documentation
$url = Router::reverse($this->params)
echo $url;
yields
/Full/Path/From/Root/MyController/MyAction/passed1/named_param:bob/?param1=true¶m2=27
Cakephp 3.x anywhere:
Router::reverse(Router::getRequest(),true)
for CakePHP 3.x You can use UrlHelper:
$this->Url->build(null, true) // output http://somedomain.com/app-name/controller/action/params
$this->Url->build() // output /controller/action/params
Or you can use PaginatorHelper (in case you want to use it in javascript or ...):
$this->Paginator->generateUrl() // returns a full pagination URL without hostname
$this->Paginator->generateUrl([],null,true) // returns a full pagination URL with hostname
for cakephp3+:
$url = $this->request->scheme().'://'.$this->request->domain().$this->request->here(false);
will get eg:
http://bgq.dev/home/index?t44=333
In View:
Blank URL: <?php echo $this->Html->Url('/') ?>
Blank Full Url: <?php echo $this->Html->Url('/', true) ?>
Current URL: <?php echo $this->Html->Url($this->here) ?>
Current Full URL: <?php echo $this->Html->Url($this->here, true) ?>
In Controller
Blank URL: <?php echo Router::url('/') ?>
Blank Full Url: <?php echo Router::url('/', true) ?>
Current URL: <?php echo Router::url($this->request->here()) ?>
Current Full URL: <?php echo Router::url($this->request->here(), true) ?>
I use $this->here for the path, to get the whole URL you'll have to do as Juhana said and use the $_SERVER variables. There's no need to use a Cake function for this.
All previously proposed approaches didn't satisfy my requirements for getting a complete URL (complete as in qualified) e.g. to be used in an email send from controller action. I need the scheme and hostname as well then, and thus stumbled over the following approach:
<?php echo Router::url( array( $id ), true ) ?>
Due to providing router array current controller and action is kept, however id isn't and thus has to be provided here again. Second argument true is actually requesting to prepend hostname etc. for getting full URL.
Using Router::url() is available in every situation and thus can be used in view files as well.
Yes, is easy FULL URL in Controler Work in CakePHP 1.3 >
<?php echo Router::url( array('controller'=>$this->params['controller'],'action'=>$this->params['action']), true );
Saludos
Use Html helper
<?php echo $this->Html->url($this->here, true); ?>
It'll produce the full url which'll started from http or https
In CakePHP 3 $this->here will be deprecated. The actual way is using this method:
Router::url($this->request->getRequestTarget())
For CakePHP 4.*
echo $this->Html->link(
'Dashboard',
['controller' => 'Dashboards', 'action' => 'index', '_full' => true]
);
If you want to return the base path, you can check that the Router class is using Configure::read ('App.fullBaseUrl'). So if you are a fan of hexagonal architecture, you can create a Cake implementation for creating URLs that will only use Configure from all CakePHP framework.
I need a helper function to get the current language code. I want to use it in a templete file, like /products/view.phtml, only for testing purposes.
Does it already exist?
I have something in mind like the URL-helper
$url = $this->helper('core/url')->getCurrentUrl();
You can get the current locale code this way :
$locale = Mage::app()->getLocale()->getLocaleCode();
Result for answers given in this topic for "Belgium:French" (Be_Fr):
strtolower(Mage::getStoreConfig('general/country/default')); = be
substr(Mage::getStoreConfig('general/locale/code'),0,2); = fr
Mage::app()->getLocale()->getLocaleCode(); = fr_BE
Note that
Mage::app()->getLocale()->getLocaleCode() == Mage::getStoreConfig('general/locale/code')
but with the second one, you can specify an other store than default one (Mage::getStoreConfig('general/locale/code', $storeId)), so I would recommand it.
Afaik there is no such helper function, but you could of course build your own using:
Mage::getStoreConfig('general/locale/code', Mage::app()->getStore()->getId());
Try
$_language_code = substr(Mage::getStoreConfig('general/locale/code', $_store->getId()),0,2);
where $_store is current store object
You can also use :
$languageCode = Mage::app()->getStore()->getLanguageCode();
Don't forget to configure your store locales in your admin. Go to menu :
System -> Configuration -> General -> Locale Options
And set the correct Locale for each Websites or stores
For use in the html elements lang attribute etc.
echo strtolower(Mage::getStoreConfig('general/country/default')); // "en"
