Hi,

I had posted it in the wrong section before.

I would like to findout from a template/frontend which page is being displayed.
It could be the menu item id or the page title.

Any pointers on how to accomplish this are very welcome, like the related API to use.

-rsd

If you want the current menu item number, you can find it stored in $Itemid. For the current page title, try calling $mainframe->getPageTitle().

Interesting that $Itemid solves my problem, getPageTitle returns the html page title (which I think is determined by the component), and not the menu "Page Title" option which is different.

Tried to inspect includes/joomla.php, but couldnt find a method to get the "Page Title" from the menu option.  Any lights on this.

Thanks.

global $database;

$menu =& new mosMenu( $database );
$menu->load( $itemId );
echo $menu->name;

Hi guys, directed to your post, trying to work out how I can get the title of the page to show up in text, i.e. if I have a content item with a title called sometitle, I want to place that text (sometitle) in the content (using mossnippet to help me do that).  so by adding 'whatever' code will show me the title of the page.  I'm using it to append other text that is used in linking like content by way of using the simply links component

I've tried various ways based on your code above but my poor php skills are showing :(

Any chance you can advise what the correct php code is for me to pull up the content title for the specific content item being viewed?

Found it :)

Code:
<?php
global $mainframe;
$fulltitle = $mainframe->_head['title'];
$sitename = $GLOBALS['mosConfig_sitename'] . ' - ';
$pagetitle = str_replace($sitename, '', $fulltitle);
echo $pagetitle;
?>


Yipee :)

This thread has been very helpful.  What variable would I call if I wanted to print the "title alias" from a static content page?

Thanks again for the help!

You would need to load the content item from the database to get that information. This code should do it:

Code:
global $database;

$id = mosGetParam($_REQUEST, 'id', 0);

$row = new mosContent($database);
$row->load($id);

echo $row->title_alias;

Worked like a charm!  Thanks

My next step is to select the background image based upon the value that is entered into the title alias.

I am new to php so I have some more research to.  Any tips on how to do this? 

I have started a thread in the Template and CSS forum:
http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic ... html&nbsp;

I am excited to be making some progress!

Thanks Again

Hi jlleblanc,

Thank you very much for your help.  Like I said my php and joomla dev skills are not the strongest right now.  Where could I go to start to learn more about the variables and what the code that you provided me is doing line by line?  I have put a write up of what i have done:  http://www.drretarded.com/websites/joom ... html&nbsp; I would love to be able to provide further explanation for myself and others.

Any input you have is greatly appreciated!
