$url_thispage$ does not seem to contain anything in v1.11 Can't Post
Wherever I use this global tag, $url_thispage$, it seems to be empty. Is this just a bug in v1.11?

You can see it here: http://www.sonlight.com/main/index.html where I'm playing with a new site redesign.

You know? Now that I've studied it further, I can see where $url_thispage$ would be impossible for you to set in the category_list.html template where I was trying to use it. My mistake!

What I do now is use the index or article templates to set an XSSI variable like this:

<!--#set var="thispage" value="$url_thispage$" -->

And then I use XSSI code in category_list.html to NOT link a page to itself...a usability boo-boo according to Jacob Nielson:

<!-- templatecell : row_selected -->

<tr>

<td class="browsebodys" colspan="3">

<p>

<span class="selected">&gt;</span>

<!--#if expr="$thispage != /$url_index$/ " -->

<a href="$url_index$">$cat_name$</a>

<!--#else -->

<b><span class="selected">$cat_name$</span></b>

<!--#endif -->

</p>

</td>

</tr>

<!-- /templatecell : row_selected -->

Ken,

So you don't want the page to link to itself on the first page or results but you do on subsequent pages because then it would serve a purpose for the user? That's interesting! : )

PS: We can't see the URL you posted as it's password protected.

Oh! Sorry about the site being protected. It's under development.

I'm sure you can see what's happening by looking at the code sample.
