Can reference the forum url from a php block?

[Inge Jones]

I would like to be able to get the value of my forum's base url from within a php TP block.  I can't see it obviously in the $context array.  Is it available within a block?

You'd have to use the variable "$scripturl" for that, and, of course, you'll have to declare the global for that variable at the top of the code as well ...

Code Select Expand

global $scripturl;

echo $scripturl;

Modified ZarPrimes code to reflect how you can echo it out. Hope you don't mind Zar.

No problem Ichbin. I don't even remember exactly what I posted but I know it wasn't the actual code.  Inge Jones seems quite knowledgeable about php so I figured that it wouldn't be a problem for her to figure it out.

Thanks both   While I was waiting I got hold of the link_tree and stripped that down to get the base url, but $scripturl looks a lot more direct
