We use our internal web site to distribute memos to our employees and need a way for them to acknowledge that they have read and understood the memo. So I thought I'd use the Chronocontact Mambot to insert a simple form.

Has anyone figured out how to get the mambot determine what article it's inserted into so the article id can be submitted as part of the form?

Thanks

Hi Sean,

This code should do the trick:

<?php
$article_id =& JRequest::getInt('id', '', 'get'); 
?>
<input type='hidden' name='article_id' value='<?=$article_id?>' />

Thanks Bob,

That code works if you are in a page where a single article is displayed, but if it's on the Front page or any other blog layout it displays the section ID by the looks of it.

I'll keep looking around there has to be a way to do it....

Hi ve6sar,

Well yes, on the home page and on blog pages there isn't a 'single' article to identify,

Bob

I need to do the same thing. Were you able to figure this out?

thanks

To do the page title.

Put this code at the top of your form

<?php
 
$mydoc =& JFactory::getDocument();
$mytitle = $mydoc->getTitle();
 
?>

then you can use this.

<input type='hidden' name='article_id' value='<?php echo $mytitle; ?>' />

thank you!
