No, that's a WordPress function.

It's a lot more complex than that depending on where you are in the forum.

What page, or pages, do you want this option on? Note that they'd have to be visible to guests.

[ttuu]

no. i wont only code for curront url.
like http://www.webcheatsheet.com/PHP/get_current_page_url.php
its php function.

[Arantor]

Yes, and that will be dependent on where you are in the forum. There is no single function like the one used in WordPress.

So I have to know where this link will be to give you the code for 'the current page'.

[ttuu]

i want put this for avry page in my forum.

[Arantor]

There's no point doing that since half the pages won't be accessible (e.g. the admin ones)

But in that situation you should be able to do it with <?php echo $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; ?>

[ttuu]

i try this before i ask this hare and is not work.

Do you need to urlencode it? Try

Code Select Expand

<a href="http://savepageaspdf.pdfonline.com/pdfonline/pdfonline.asp?cURL=<?php echo urlencode($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']); ?>&author_id=22AF4CEA-ACDD-4C5F-8580-92464E0619BF" title="Get PDF version for this post (provided by Web2PDF Online)">PDF version</a>

And are you sure that the author_id specified is your own?

[ttuu]

its not work.
its say error in code. look the screenshot.

i have author_id.

[Arantor]

You need to provide a few more lines either side of the code so we can see what's going on.

[ttuu]

The code above and below is not about that.

[Arantor]

The immediate line before tells me exactly what the problem is and why you get that error. You have a <?php ?> block inside another PHP block.

Remove that line and the echo immediately above (both lines 752 and 753) and use this:

Code Select Expand

echo '<a href="http://savepageaspdf.pdfonline.com/pdfonline/pdfonline.asp?cURL=", urlencode($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']), '&amp;author_id=22AF4CEA-ACDD-4C5F-8580-92464E0619BF" title="Get PDF version for this post (provided by Web2PDF Online)">PDF version</a>';

EDIT: edited URL to turn & into &amp; for XHTML compliance (will still work correctly)

[ttuu]

stil is not working

[Arantor]

So what's wrong now?

Simply saying it isn't working is actually no help at all since I need to know what's wrong with it to be able to help. Is it giving you an error? If so, what error?

[ttuu]

sorry.

Same error appeared in the previous attempt.

[Arantor]

So you get the same error from a completely different piece of code?

Please show me the screenshot, like you had earlier.

[ttuu]

thanks

[Arantor]

It's actually a different error this time, and the result of a typo from me.

Code Select Expand

echo '<a href="http://savepageaspdf.pdfonline.com/pdfonline/pdfonline.asp?cURL="', urlencode($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']), '&amp;author_id=22AF4CEA-ACDD-4C5F-8580-92464E0619BF" title="Get PDF version for this post (provided by Web2PDF Online)">PDF version</a>';

[ttuu]

ok. now no more error in code but the link it broken.
this is the link:
http://savepageaspdf.pdfonline.com/pdfonline/pdfonline.asp?cURL=
the aactually link is (For example):
http://savepageaspdf.pdfonline.com/pdfonline/pdfonline.asp?cURL=http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=346921.0&amp;author_id=88CE1943-ECB1-4B4C-ABF5-2E67E1CB9A8BF

thanks for your help.

[Arantor]

Bah, another typo from me, curses of trying to deal with code that originally used ".

Code Select Expand

echo '<a href="http://savepageaspdf.pdfonline.com/pdfonline/pdfonline.asp?cURL=', urlencode($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']), '&amp;author_id=22AF4CEA-ACDD-4C5F-8580-92464E0619BF" title="Get PDF version for this post (provided by Web2PDF Online)">PDF version</a>';

[ttuu]

now the link is:

http://savepageaspdf.pdfonline.com/pdfonline/pdfonline.asp?cURL=ladaat.net%2Fforum%2Findex.php%3Fboard%3D46.0&author_id=88CE1943-ECB1-4B4C-ABF5-2E67E1CB9A8BF

i dont know what's going on.
Why not go out like that?
http://savepageaspdf.pdfonline.com/pdfonline/pdfonline.asp?cURL=http://ladaat.net/forum/index.php?board=46.0&author_id=88CE1943-ECB1-4B4C-ABF5-2E67E1CB9A8BF

[Arantor]

Because the extra ? will confuse it since there's already one in the URL anyway. Also that protects against there being any stray & in the URL which will definitely screw things up.

Oh, and I forgot the http:// part:

Code Select Expand

echo '<a href="http://savepageaspdf.pdfonline.com/pdfonline/pdfonline.asp?cURL=', urlencode('http://' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']), '&amp;author_id=22AF4CEA-ACDD-4C5F-8580-92464E0619BF" title="Get PDF version for this post (provided by Web2PDF Online)">PDF version</a>';

[ttuu]

its stil not god.
by now the link is:
http://savepageaspdf.pdfonline.com/pdfonline/pdfonline.asp?cURL=http%3A%2F%2Fladaat.net%2Fforum%2Findex.php%3Fboard%3D19.0&author_id=88CE1943-ECB1-4B4C-ABF5-2E67E1CB9A8BF

this is bad:
http%3A%2F%2Fladaat.net%2Fforum%2Findex.php%3Fboard%3D19.0

[Arantor]

It has to be that way. It's not bad, it's quite natural.

If you have two ? in the link (which it would otherwise) it won't work properly at all. And if you have & in the link anywhere it'll turn the wrong page into a PDF.

Have you tried that link?

[ttuu]

yes. i try this now. but i think this servise is not work.

[Arantor]

So, have you tried it, or are you about to try it?

[ttuu]

i sending help ticket to the this owr service.
