Else/if problem

[Certis]

Hopefully people here know an easy solution to a problem I'm having.

 

First of all, I'm using a script in Wordpress to retrieve the current url. Then I use a code in a link, adding a little code after it, which would switch the theme of my Wordpress (basically, "currenturlcode&wptheme=Sidebar%20disabled").

 

It works great, thanks to that, people will remain on the same page they are and switch the theme. However, if that is clicked on the main page, it goes to the 404 page, cause it needs to use "?" instead of "&" in case of that.

 

So what I need help with here, is somehow making my link see if they are on the main page, and if so, adding "?wptheme=Sidebar%20disabled" there, on other cases"&wptheme=Sidebar%20disabled".

so use an if statement to see if the current url is your base url then add a ?. if not then use an &.

The problem is that I do not know how to do it.

 

I don't know any php, only html and css.

[schilly]

ah well that could be trouble then.

 

can you post the code you have?

 

 

[Certis]

Of course.

 

This one is the code that is needed, the "brains" of the url getting, I assume.

 

<?php
function curPageURL() {
$pageURL = 'http';
if ($_SERVER["HTTPS"] == "on") {$pageURL .= "s";}
$pageURL .= "://";
if ($_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] != "80") {
  $pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].":".$_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
} else {
  $pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
}
return $pageURL;
}
?>

 

 

And this is the link code I use (including with the php url get function.

 

<a href="<?php echo curPageURL(); ?>&wptheme=Sidebar%20disabled">Click here</a>

[schilly]

Try this

<a href="<?php echo (curPageURL() = "www.domain.com") ? curPageURL() . "?wptheme=Sidebar%20disabled" : curPageURL() . "&wptheme=Sidebar%20disabled"; ?>">Click here</a>

Sorry for replying so late, I was dragged to another town by my relatives, and I did not have access to internet there.

 

Unfortunately, that solution does not work, instead, I get this error line:

 

Fatal error: Can't use function return value in write context in /home/certis/domains/certislp.co.cc/public_html/wp-content/themes/atahualpa169/footer.php on line 24

[schilly]

ah crap. syntax error.

 

try this. (double equals)

<a href="<?php echo (curPageURL() == "www.domain.com") ? curPageURL() . "?wptheme=Sidebar%20disabled" : curPageURL() . "&wptheme=Sidebar%20disabled"; ?>">Click here</a>

I can't thank you enough. Finally, this thing is working perfectly!

 

I'm very grateful to you of your help!
