Encoding/trimming output of <txp:site_url />
Hi.
A short question that hopefully someone can shed some light on. Is it possible to percent-encode the output of a tag (in this case site_url)? If so, how might I achieve this?
In this instance, I’m using a template holding page with a hyperlink to another site. This hyperlink includes Google Analytics tags to determine the referrer. To avoid potential mishaps down the line, I want to avoid using clunky URLs like this:
http://example.com?utm_source=http://example.org&utm_medium=fruit&utm_campaign=bananaInstead, I’d like to either percent-encode the source URL…:
http://example.com?utm_source=http%3A%2F%2Fexample.org&utm_medium=fruit&utm_campaign=banana…or, perhaps, strip the http:// from the referrer:
http://example.com?utm_source=example.org&utm_medium=fruit&utm_campaign=bananaI can use php to chew the first part of the site_url off, but as it’s technically deprecated I’d prefer a more reliable method for now and the future.
Thank you very much in advance for any suggestions, I’m grateful for your time, attention and expertise.

You could either use PHP, which is not ‘technically’ deprecated, or a plugin. For instance rah_function happily does encoding tasks:
<txp:rah_function call="urlencode" url='<txp:site_url />' />Or you could use a PHP block:
<txp:php>
echo urlencode(parse('<txp:site_url />'));

Thank you, Jukka – that’s perfect.
