[SOLVED] Use of url location in cb contentbot

I'm trying to use 'url location' in a cb:if statement - is this possible? I've tried the following:

[cb:if url location="profile_view"]content to display[/cb:if]

It doesn't work for me though. If I try just a [cb:url location="profile_view" /] it displays the url of "http://MYSITE/index.php/profile" as I'd expect it to.

If this isn't possible then perhaps you can suggest another option (or you might have a better idea anyway). I have social sharing buttons on profile pages and they work fine if you are on someone elses profile page. If you are on your own page though the URL is "http://MYSITE/index.php/profile" and this is obviously no good for sharing as it doesn't go to the relevant user's profile page (which end with 'userprofile/[username]'). I need somehow to make sure that the user profile page for someone looking at their own page is always the full profile URL.

Help appreciated.

No such IF substitution exists. The below are the only URL substitutions available and they're strictly used to output the URL for usage; they can not be used in IF statements.

[cb:url location="DESTINATION" /]

Please review the below substitution usage tutorial carefully.

You can ensure the substitution only renders if the use is viewing themselves with the below.

[cb:if user_id="myid"]This is Me being displayed.[/cb:if]

Okay - that's what I thought. I am already using the user_id="myid" code to ensure only they see the specific text.

Is there perhaps another option to force a redirect from "MYSITE/index.php/profile" to "MYSITE/index.php/profile/userprofile/[username]" so that they always get the full URL showing?

Thanks.

No not without causing a bunch of problems. It's better to just fix your share buttons to use a static URL with username or user id already in it. For example if the button is just HTML then social sites let you specify the URL manually, which you can construct the URL anyway you like with substitutions.

Okay - thanks Kyle.
