A standard global variable in the params for a module is not being parsed [duplicate]

Question

I have a module tag with a param that accepts a string.

{exp:test:foo return_url="{current_url}"}
...
{/exp:test:foo}

In the module method, I get the return_url param using

$return_url      = $this->EE->TMPL->fetch_param('return_url');

The problem is that I get the literal string

{current_url}

As opposed to it being parsed and getting the current url.

Is there a way to solve this? or is this a parse order issue?

Answer 1

The issue is parse order. Read the attached pdf.parse order. Turn on the debugger and then view the template in your browser. Scroll down thru the debugger until you find the tag containing {current_url}. You will see that that {current_url} has not been parsed. According to the attached doc, it is not parsed until step 9 - last.

In your module, try

$uri_string = $this->EE->input->server('PATH_INFO') !== FALSE ? $this->EE->input->server('PATH_INFO') : '/'.$this->EE->uri->uri_string();

or

$segments = array_values($this->EE->uri->segment_array());

or

$this->EE->functions->fetch_current_uri()
