How to get current page url without “.”

Hi,

I need the current pages url address, as i tried, {{url}} will return the address form like “./abc.html“.

However, I need something return “/abc.html” with current pages, which is not “.” before the “/“.

How to achieve this? also do not return http/https or website domain, just pages url only

thanks!

Hi,

It seems that you are using relative URLs, that’s why you get that dot at the beginning.

The only solution is to create a custom helper which will get url as an argument and will remove the dot. Example custom helpers are described here: https://getpublii.com/dev/tags/custom-helpers/

you will need something like:
```
let themeHelpers = {
 removeDot: function(url) {
 if (url[0] === '.') {
 return url.substr(1);
 }
 return url;
 }
};

module.exports = themeHelpers;
```
and then you can use:

{{removeDot url}}

};

module.exports = themeHelpers;

let themeHelpers = { removeDot: function(url) { if (url[0] === ‘.’) { return url.substr(1); } return url; } }; module.exports = themeHelpers;

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

I have tried your method. it would take ” PUBLII_RELATIVE_URL_BASE#/xxx.html ” instead of “.”.

and how to achive this if the url is not relative?

Thank you!
