How to access a URL inside g:evaluate tag in Jelly

antonymirza · ‎04-25-2014

Developing a new site using ServiceNow CMS and need to access the URL value inside jelly code. I see that window.location method does not work inside j or g tag in jelly instead in script tag.

Can someone please explain how to access URL value inside jelly tags?

This piece of code seems to work fine on a demo instance:

<g:evaluate var="jvar_site_and_page" jelly="true">
       var page = new GlideRecord('content_page');
       page.get('${RP.getParameterValue('sysparm_sys_id')}');
       page.content_site.url_suffix + '/' + page.url_suffix;
</g:evaluate>
 


Current URL is this:<br/>
${RP.getParameterValue('jvar_base_uri')}${jvar_site_and_page}.do

If you just need the URL suffix of the current page you can also do something like:

<g:evaluate>


current_page.getURLSuffix();


</g:evaluate>

You can also take a look here for further methods of the current_page object: current_page Object Type Confusion

With current_page.getSiteID() you should then also be able to query the url_suffix of the content_site table if that is necessary.
