[SOLVED] Extend API with httpUrl()

[Noel Boss]

Maybe I'm missing something here, but I'm haveing a hard time to get absolute urls if PW is installed in a subdirectory thought the API...

I need an absolute URL for the backend (as a redirect url of Oauth provider). To build the url i would normaly use

url()->root.url()->admin – but this results in the install-path beeing present twice;

domain.com/path/ + path/admin/

In order to not use $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] I fetch the admin page from pages – but this is also not to easy since I need to remove the root folder from path as well. My current solution is somewhat complicated:

$backendUrl = pages()->get('path="'.str_replace(urls()->root, '', urls()->admin).'", include=all')->httpUrl;

The above code seems to be the savest way to get the absolute url to the backend using pure PW API, am I right?

It would be great if one could fetch absolute urls with something like this

$backendUrl = urls()->admin->httpUrl
// or
$backendUrl = httpUrls()->admin

 

SOLVED:

Thank you @adrian – of course this HAD to be simpler:

urls()->httpAdmin;

The admin page always has the ID of 2 (as far as I know). So you can get the httpUrl with:

$pages(2)->httpUrl()

True..

Maybe better to get it like this...(in case down the road someone wonders what the 2 is all about, etc)..

$pages($config->adminRootPageID)->httpUrl();

Have you tried $config->urls->httpAdmin ?

 

[adrian]

The "http" may be optionally prepended to any property accessed from $config->urls (including those you add yourself).

Hahaha, fool I was, thinking PW not already soled it has!

Once more, what a great community, THANK YOU!

API Cheatsheet would trueöy be great with these tibits...

So the solution is this:

urls()->httpAdmin;
