XF 1.5 $url variable in navigation template

[FloV]

Hey,

is there any way i can use the $url variable in the navigation template? Please don't tell me i need custom development for that.

Would be cool if there's a way i could use it in that template!

Thanks a lot in advance

Florian

The $url variable related to what?

What are you trying to do?

I would like to add two buttons to my navbar

One (only if i'm in thread_view) for an answer button and one button to share this page (but if i'm on page 2 of a thread the $url variable still contains just the thread url without the page parameter). That's where i need the $url

{xen:link 'route', 'anyadditionaldata'}

e.g.
{xen:link 'thread', $thread.thread_id}

(format may be slightly wrong, been a while since I used xen:link in templates)

$thread isn't available in the navbar template! Already tried that!

Ah, missed the part where you mentioned what template. Could use an add-on to add to the view params and combine it with an if statement. I'd imagine there's an easier solution though, combination of an if statement and the URL route.

See the section here about using xen:container - https://xenforo.com/community/resources/conditional-statements.1604/

You may be able to achieve it that way.

Pure genius!
