Render portlet only for given url

Hi

How can I make a portlet display a text/link only if I’m on a given page or is it possible to make a portlet only to be visible if I’m on a given url.

Is there a function that I can use like this user access thingy:


if(Yii::app()->user->checkAccess('authName')) {

//some code

}

I guess I’m loooking for a way to get the current url.

If you want to display the portlet only for SiteController with actionIndex (route: site/index), you may try something like this:




if (Yii::app()->controller->id === 'site' && Yii::app()->controller->action->id === 'index')

{

   // ...

}

// What you also can do is to create a parent controller for all your other controllers like:




class ParentController extends CController

{


  public $showMyPortlet;


}

When you want to display the portlet for a specific action you do:




class SiteController extends ParentController

{


  public function actionIndex()

  {


    // enable portlet

    $this->showMyPortlet = true;


    // other code


  }


}

In your layout/widget you then do:




if (Yii::app()->controller->showMyPortlet)

{

  // ...

}
