TOPIC: Is there a way to get a joomsef url via PHP?

Is there a way to get a joomsef url via PHP? 16 years, 8 months ago #9718

I have a plugin that is called when an article is saved and uses the code:
$article_url = JRoute::_(ContentHelperRoute::getArticleRoute($id_slug, $cat_slug, $sec_slug));

to get the article URL. From the backend, this gives the non-SEF url, while from the frontend this gives the SEF url. I'm wondering if there is a way to get the SEF url using the plugin even when I'm in the backend?

Thanks!

Hello,

Since SEF is off by default in Joomla's backend, this isn't possible by any standard way. You would probably need to create your own instance of JRouterJoomsef class and use it to route the URL. But I'm affraid there would be some problems with that for example with JoomFish, which is also not active in backend etc.

Best regards,
