Freebie Segment Tags ​

Inside a template, you can access the original, un-effed-with URL segments using {freebie_1}, {freebie_2}, etc. These will return the segments you see in your browser’s location bar — however, if you use {segment_1} instead, you’ll get back the segments EE is actually parsing. For example, if you set “preview” and “comments” as Freebie segments, and visit…

/blog/preview/my-favorite-post/comments/

…your template vars will return the following:

  • {segment_1} == blog
  • {segment_2} == my-favorite-post
  • {freebie_1} == blog
  • {freebie_2} == preview
  • {freebie_3} == my-favorite-post
  • {freebie_4} == comments
  • {freebie_original_uri} == /blog/preview/my-favorite-post/comments/
  • {freebie_final_uri} == /blog/my-favorite-post/

Freebie:any ​

Use {exp:freebie:any name="segment_name"} to see if any segment matches the “name” string. Example:

/blog/preview/my-favorite-post/comments/

{exp:freebie:any name="blog"} == "true"

{if "{exp:freebie:any name="comments"}" == "true"}<h2>Show comments</h2>{/if}

Freebie:is_number ​

Use {exp:freebie:is_number segment="3"} to see if a segment is numeric or not. This is useful when you’re ignoring numeric segments, but want to test for their presence.

Freebie:category_id, _name, _description, _image ​

Use {exp:freebie:category_id segment="3"} to get the category_id of a segment. Useful in a number of ways. {exp:freebie:category_name segment="3"} will return the name of the category, and similar requests for category_description and category_image will do the same.

If you want to specify a group and/or site ID to pull the category from, use the following syntax: {exp:freebie:category_id segment=“3” group_id=“2” site_id="1"}

To get the category ID for a channel:entries tag, make sure to parse inward and use single quotes for the freebie arguments. Example:

{exp:channel:entries channel="news" category="{exp:freebie:category_id segment='2'}" parse="inward"}

A few more ​

{freebie_last} will get you the last segment from the original URI.

{freebie_break_1}, {freebie_break_2}, etc will return the segments after a break segment.
