How do you get the URL of a specific blog/website/page etc?

Vote 0 Votes

I want the URL of a blog with a specific ID. Shouldn't there be a way to do this without looping through them all?

  • For instance, I want to include a specific page on my main index template, a greeting. That way I can take advantage of the handy Page features and not modify the template.

  • If you want to get the URL of a blog, you could use:

    <mt:Blogs blog_ids="3"><mt:BlogURL></mt:Blogs>

    where '3' is the ID of the blog you want to interogate.

    As for the page, I would recommend that you tag a page like say "@greeting" and then you include on the template where you want that to show up the following coding:

    <mt:Pages tag="@greeting">
    <mt:PageBody>
    </mt:Pages>

If you need to share template code, replace all the "<" signs with "&lt;" or use this utility.
