Dynamically Email URL

How to dynamically email and store a specific part of a URL in ChronoForms.

Overview

The issue is extracting a segment from the current page URL to include in an email.
Use a Joomla function within the CF email template to retrieve the full URL, then optionally process it to isolate the needed segment.

I'm trying to dynamically (depending which URL it is coming from) email and store part of the URL.

URL is index.php/heating/furnaces/smartair-100

The part I want to pass is the "smartair-100".

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Ron

Hello rseigel,
I'm not a Chrono professional, but after checking your new post, I think that the following links may help:

Unfortunately, this doesn't help.

Hi Ron,

You will need to check the Joomla function for getting the url info, then use the value you need in the email template between php code tags, or in a "custom code" action before a "db save".

It's a beautiful thing....

I put:

<tr><td>URL:</td><td><?php echo JURI::current(); ?></td></tr>

in the Email Template section of the email action and it works!🙂

Just thought someone else could benefit from this.

Thanks a ZILLION Max.

It gives me the full URL BTW.

I suppose I could pull out the last bit with a snippet of php but this works for my needs.
