Get hash value from url in freemarker

Hi, How do I get the value after hash (#) from a URL using FreeMarker.

E.X.: Page URL = http://community.lithium.com/t5/Support-Forum/bd-p/lisupport#token=12345).

How can i get the value of "token"?

 

Is there any FreeMarker context object available like http.request.parameters.name.get? if not could anyone suggest workaround for this in FreeMarker ?

 

Your help could be highly appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,

Phani

    Hi phani

     

    I believe that the URL fragment is not sent to the server so I am afraid that would not be possible. You can access it via javascript inside a custom component if that helps.

     

    Thanks,

      Hi PaoloT,

       

      Thanks for your quick response.

       

      We are able to get the value by using http.client.response FreeMarker context object, if the parameter passed with '&' 

      E.X.: /plugins/custom/community_name/community_name/your_endpoint?data=test&token=1234

      Code Snippet: <#assign token = http.request.parameters.name.get("token","")/>

       

      In our requirement we are calling the endpoint with hash value. For us Javascript is not preferable option.

      E.X.: /plugins/custom/community_name/community_name/your_endpoint#token=1234

       

      Could you please provide more description on your statement "URL fragment is not sent to the server", it might helpful for us to try some workaround?

       

      Regards,

      Phani

        phani - As the freemarker executes on the server and not on the client side, so you cannot get the # fragments because they never reach server. They stay on the client side, so you could only read it using a client side language. JS or jQuery.

        I hope this helps.
