Hey all,

Anyone know id there is a template tag to retrieve Director::BaseURL() from a template? I can create a method like:

public function getBaseUrl() {
    return Director::BaseURL();
}

But I was wondering if maybe there is something I can already use and not create duplicate code?

Cheers,

Mo

Never mind, I found it: $BaseHref

Just an addition... if you're wanting to get the page's full URL inside a template for something like a Digg link.. you can do the following

{$BaseHref}{$Top.URLSegment}

Hope this helps others.

In SilverStripe 3.0 $BaseHref has been deprecated: you should now use $baseURL.
