I am creating a sort of breadcrumbs module that supports subcats and was wondering how to pull the article id of the current page being visited. Any thoughts? Thanks

From a template, or from a view in a component or module for that matter, you could simply grab it from the URL params like so:

Code:
echo("Content ID: ".$_GET['id']);

That works sometimes however on some articles I get
"46:whats-new-in-15"
instead of just the article ID number
"46"
or sometimes I don't get an output at all.

I'm looking to just get the id number from the page so I could query the db with it. I will look into substring however not getting a response is not good. oh, just thought of it, if I browse to a section of category page it wouldn't have an article ID. So how could I pull the section id, category ID, and article ID?

You should use
$id=JRequest::getVar('id',0);

Thanks guys!

That seems to give me the same result as the earlier post. However, I can make it work with using a substring function.

Would anyone happen to know how to display the category id of a page?
I would like to use the category listing page.

Code:
$categoryid = JRequest::getVar( 'category' )

edit: Never mind, I didn't read carefully.

Hi,

To do so you can check your database, under jos_content table. There are 3 field that you might need to retrieve which are:
1. SectionID
2. CatID
3. ParentID

Get the information accordingly and display it.

The first problem that you face might cause by table joining issue. If the data that you retrieve is more then one table, please name the fields accordingly to get the correct id. :)

Hope this helps you.

Regards,
YB
