XF 2.1 [SOLVED]How to build link while creating a post in a thread?

[asprin]

As part of my addon, I'm creating a thread with the following code:

$forum = \XF::app()->find( 'XF:Forum', $forum_id );
$user  = \XF::app()->find('XF:User', $user_id);
$title = 'Some title';
$message .= "\n\nYou can click [URL='".$this->buildLink('fc/view', $event)."']here[/URL] to view the event.";

This is not creating a link, rather just textual "here".



The expected link to be generated in this format:
index.php?fc/view/some-title-goes-here.16/

I've set up a route for this from ACP and it works fine when used with the link('fc/view/', $event) function inside the templates.

So, is there a way I could get the generated href value from the buildLink() function to be used inside the bbcode?

UDPATE:

Got the following code from https://xenforo.com/community/threads/buildlink-help-to-create-own-link.167009/:

\XF::app()->router('public')->buildLink('fc/view', $event);

And this resulted in:

/xen/index.php?fc/view/some-title-goes-here.18/

Any idea how would I get the full path?

Ok, sovled it.

Used the full key as follows:

\XF::app()->router('public')->buildLink('full:fc/view', $event);

You want to use nopath prefix over full.

See below @Liam W's reply.

You want to use nopath prefix over full.

Any reason as to why? Just curious.

Instead of building https://example.com/fc/view/<event title>.<event id>/ you build fs/view/<event title>.<event id>/ and so when you change the board URL or start using route filters, links don't break

That won't work in this case. The BBCode renderer doesn't allow URL tags without a full URL.
