get page name and URL via ID

Permalink 3 users found helpful
Hi I want to display a number of page names and their URLs in a template, I want to use the page ID so if they are changed at any point form the sitemap they will also update.

Can anyone provide the code, there are a number of instances of this on the template.

<a href="<?php echo $PageIDurl=70; ?>"><?php echo $PageID=70; ?></a>

<a href="<?php echo $PageIDurl=71; ?>"><?php echo $PageID=71; ?></a>

<a href="<?php echo $PageIDurl=72; ?>"><?php echo $PageID=72; ?></a>

<a href="<?php echo $PageIDurl=74; ?>"><?php echo $PageID=74; ?></a>

Thank you.

Hi Nick

Thanks for that, however that sheet is great for using if you need to manipulate the current page, but specifying another page is proving to be a bit more difficult, i.e. i don't want the current page name or its parent page name, i want a page name of an unrelated page.

Still an open question, answers greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Ben

Try this:
<a href="<?php echo DIR_REL . Page::getCollectionPathFromID(71); ?>"><?php echo Page::getByID(71)->getCollectionName(); ?></a>

A different version of this which is more efficient because it saves a database call is:
<?php $p = Page::getByID(71); ?>
<a href="<?php echo DIR_REL . $p->getCollectionPath(); ?>"><?php echo $p->getCollectionName(); ?></a>

Perfect. Thank you very much kind sir Jordan!
I got it working perfectly for my needs, which was embedding the auto-nav in the theme columns of links in the footer. So for the About Section, I use auto-nav to display all it's sub-pages, and Jordan's code above to grade the parent page's name...in this case About.
$p = Page::getByID(555); #Your page id #
    $parent = DIR_REL . $p->getCollectionPath();
    $parentName = $p->getCollectionName();
    echo '<h6>'.$parentName.'</h6>';
   $bt_main = BlockType::getByHandle('autonav'); 
   $p = Page::getByID(127); #About Pg.
    $parent = DIR_REL . $p->getCollectionPath();
    $parentName = $p->getCollectionName();
    echo '<h6>'.$parentName.'</h6>';
   $bt_main = BlockType::getByHandle('autonav'); 
   $bt_main->controller->displayPages = 'custom'; // top, above, below, second_level, third_level, custom (Specify the displayPagesCID below)
   $bt_main->controller->displayPagesCID = '555'; // <-- Specify the CID of the page named: REPERTOIRE ( Gets the first level of pages under that section )
   $bt_main->controller->orderBy = 'display_asc'; 
   $p = Page::getByID(127); #About Pg.
    $parent = DIR_REL . $p->getCollectionPath();
