XF 2.0 How do you buildLink directly to admin/public areas?

[Jaxel]

$this->buildLink('threads', $thread) will assume the context of whatever area you are in... how can I force it to go to an admin/public area instead?

I suspect passing $router. From the Docs:

public static function homePageUrl(&$homePageUrl, \XF\Mvc\Router $router)
{
    $homePageUrl = $router->buildLink('canonical:portal');
}

 

[Jaxel]

That doesn't force admin/public.

I think I figured something out:

                $router = \XF::app()['router.admin'];
                return $this->redirect($router->buildLink('ewr-porta/articles'));

There has got to be a simply way though...

Would this work?

$this->router('admin')->buildLink('ewr-porta/articles')

another option

return \XF::app()->router('admin')->buildLink('ewr-porta/articles');

Pretty sure you can use link(‘admin:tools/whatever’) or link(‘public:something’)

 

[Jaxel]

Pretty sure you can use link(‘admin:tools/whatever’) or link(‘public:something’)

That worked in XF1... doesn't appear to work in XF2 though.

Pretty sure you can use link(‘admin:tools/whatever’) or link(‘public:something’)

In templates, I am using {{ linkType('admin', 'whatever') }}

With xenforo 2, other case:
XF::start($dir);
$app = XF::setupApp('XF\Pub\App');
$app->start();
$router = $app->router();
$router->buildLink('threads', $thread)
