Get current joomla article id (Joomla4)

Marc

Hey RegularLabs-Team,

i need to calculate some data from custom fields on a Joomla4 website.

The first step would be to get the active joomla article-ID . How can I do that with Sourcerer?

Best regards and thank you for your great extensions

Hey Peter,

thank you for the answer, I get the following error:

Warning: Undefined property: stdClass::$id in /.../tmp/regularlabs/21876_cab31b861fa340be49d6c3b86810b279 on line 10

Are you using the php code inside an article?

(Or inside content loaded on an article page)

Yep. But the template for the article is generated with the Yootheme Pro Builder - maybe thats the problem?

Yes, that most likely is the issue.

Okay, I see.

I tried to work around it with including a php file in the Yootheme Builder and then echo the article ID

{source}<?php
   include JPATH_SITE.'/folder/file.php';
?>{/source}

echo $article->id;

...but I get the same error:

Warning: Undefined property: stdClass::$id in /folder/file.php on line 16

I then tried to archieve it thru a module, but after saving it the php tags are stripped. My backend editor is set to "None". If I try to add the code via the "</>Code" button the php tags are also stripped and a strange span is added:

{source}<span style="font-family:monospace;color:#555555;">echo "Test";</span>{/source}

Sourcerer is meant to be used with a WYSIWYG editor.
See: docs4.regularlabs.com/sourcerer/going-fu...ing-a-wysiwyg-editor

Probably because you are using Yootheme, Sourcerer can't create the $article object, based on the current URL.
Placing your code in an external file doesn't change that (it actually just makes it more certain that the $article object is not available).

Are you trying to use this on normal article pages in Joomla? So are the URLs pointing to an article page?
