XF 2.1 Get no html view on route page

[emiya]

Hello,

I'm learning programming and want to create an addon which have it's own page. Everything is good so far, but on the page html won't work?


Well, I created a new route with following inputs:


And that's the code (/src/addons/NewAddon/NewPage/Pub/Controller/NewPage.php):

<?php

namespace NewAddon\NewPage\Pub\Controller;

use XF\Mvc\ParameterBag;
use XF\Pub\Controller\AbstractController;

class NewPage extends AbstractController
{
    public static function somehow()
    {
    
        //some codes ..
    
        return $text = "You will be redirected ... <br />Blabla <a href='https://theurl.com/andstuff'> or click here!</a>.";

    }

    public function actionIndex(ParameterBag $params)
    {
        return $this->message($this->somehow());
    }
}

What did I wrong? Thanks in advance and kindly regards

One approach: Replace your $text with a phrase. Phrases support HTML (though HTML should be used in templates, and not phrases).

return \XF::phrase('your_phrase_prefix_you_will_be_redirected_blabla');

Another approach (the better one) is to set the message in viewParams, and expose that to your template. In the template you can use |raw

Thank you @Lawrence, it worked. However, I still have a problem.

The url is random and I want to use the variable on this phrase. How can I do that?

return $text = "You will be redirected ... <br />Blabla <a href='{$url}'> or click here!</a>."; // I need this variable

$url = 'the url you want to use';

\XF::phrase('your_phrase_prefix_you_will_be_redirected_blabla ', ['url' => $url]);

your phrase text:

You will be redirected ... <br />Blabla <a href="{url}"> or click here!</a>.
