I'm trying to get an element from it's URL.

For example, say we have a url of http://craft.dev/blog/article1. Is there a function I can call within a plugin and pass over blog/article1 that will return a corresponding element, if one exists, for that specific URL? I'm sure there is a way to do this with the router, I'm just not sure what it is.

Try using ElementsService:

$entry = craft()->elements->getElementByUri( 'blog/article1' );

  • That was a whole lot easier then I expected. I was looking on the routing services, did not even think to look on the element service. Thank you!

  • No worries – it's often like that with Craft, no? :)
