add query parameters to an existing url string
echo Mage::getUrl('',
array(
'_direct' => Mage::getModel('core/url_rewrite')->loadByIdPath('category/1')->getRequestPath(),
'_query' => array('param1' => 'myparam1','param2' => 'myparam2')
)
);
I don't think there is a 'built in' way to achieve this.
The method Mage_Catalog_Model_Url::getUrl()
does not accept any parameters.
You can override the method, but unless you need something like this for all categories I don't see a point on doing it.
I think the cheapest way is to add the parameters directly.
$params = array('param1' => 'myparam1','param2' => 'myparam2');
$categoryUrl = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load(1)->getUrl();
$urlParams = array();
foreach ($params as $name=>$value){
$urlParams[] = $name.'='.urlencode($value);
}
$urlParams = implode('&', $urlParams);
if ($urlParams){
$glue = '?';
if (strpos($categoryUrl, $glue) !== false){//this should never happen - but just in case
$glue = '&';
}
$categoryUrl .= $glue.$urlParams;
}
You can make this a method in a helper to avoid writing the code each time you need it.
For any other url that you construct through Mage::getUrl()
you can pass query params like this:
$url = Mage::getUrl('module/controller/action', array('param1'=>'val1', '_query'=>array('p1'=>'v1', 'p2'=>'v2')));
the code above will generate the following:
http://mysite.com/module/controller/action/param1/val1/?p1=v1&p2=v2
You can use core/url helper:
$params = array('param1' => 'myparam1', 'param2' => 'myparam2');
$newCategoryUrl = Mage::helper('core/url')->addRequestParam($categoryUrl, $params);
