plugin to test which page template a section uses?

I thought awhile ago I saw a conditional plugin that tested what page template a given section was associated with. Am I crazy?

Kevin – I don’t know if this is what you are thinking of, but I think I recall there was a discussion about testing a page, or form before allowing it to be deleted.

But I can’t remember if it was a plugin or a patch to the core.

I guess you can use smd_query to get the information, and put it in a txp:variable?

A little php code is better than separate plugin, I think:

<txp:php>
global $variable, $s;
$variable['page_template'] = safe_field("page","txp_section","name='$s'");
</txp:php>

And let test – <h1><txp:variable name="page_template" /></h1> produces <h1>default</h1> at my site.

Really cool, Victor! Thanks! This completes my collection of edit links, i.e. links from the front side that go immediately into the right place in the admin side.

For forms I use output_form and a yield tag, which works perfectly well, but is a method that forces me to write down the form name a second time. How would you collect info on the form name using PHP?

I think you can simplify Victor’s code a bit:

<txp:php>
global $page, $variable;
$variable['page_template'] = $page;
</txp:php>

though I haven’t tested this.

Update: <txp:page_url type="page" />
