How do I build a link from variables?

Question

I'm building an entry type's menu, automatically populated with several sections. A route for dynamic menu had to be also created.

Code

{% set section = craft.sections.getSectionByHandle('sectionHandle') %}
{% set entryTypes = section.getEntryTypes() %}

{% for entryType in entryTypes %}
    <li>
        <a href="{{ section.handle }}{{ url('types/'~entryType.handle) }}">
            {{ entryType.name|ucfirst }}
        </a>
    </li>
{% endfor %}

Output

• craft.dev/sectionHandle/types/entryType.handle

When I access the link, It gets crazy.

Output

• craft.dev/sectionHandle/types/sectionHandle/types/entryType.handle

I was trying everything I know, but Whatever I add in front of {{url('types/'~entryType.handle) }}, it gets duplicated.

Since you are building a custom URL, you shouldn't be using url() here, since it automatically appends your values to the siteUrl. Try one of these instead:

<a href="{{ url(section.handle ~ '/types/' ~ entryType.handle) }}">

-or-

<a href="{{ siteUrl ~ section.handle ~ '/types/' ~ entryType.handle }}">
