    How to get ID from URL

    Does anyone know an easy way to get the ID of a file given the URL?

    If it helps to know why I want the Id...  I'm trying to do deep linking into the Umbraco editor.  For example a typical deep link looks like this.
    http://www.mySite.com/umbraco/umbraco.aspx?app=content&rightAction=editContent&id=1549#content

    If I want to edit 'about-Us.aspx' for example I need to convert 'about-Us.aspx' to '1549' to open the editor on that page.

    I tried using GetXmlDocumentByUrl but I have no idea.
    string     GetNodeID_ByUrl(string nodeURL)
    {
    try
    {
          return umbraco.library.GetXmlDocumentByUrl(nodeURL).Current.GetAttribute("Id", "");
    }
    catch
    {
          return "not"
    }
    }

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    I don't quite understand why you need to do this - where are you getting the URL from, you should be able to get the ID from the same place, no?

    If not, you could try a helper method in uQuery from uComponents - GetNodeByUrl(string url), and do something like:

    Node n = uComponents.Core.uQuery.GetNodeByUrl("about-us.aspx");
    if (n != null)
     int nodeid = n.Id;

    Not quite sure on the format the URL needs to be in, perhaps "/about-us.aspx"

    The URL is comming from a client side javascript.  I'm developing a browser based way of navigating through the Umbraco editor.

    What references to I need to add to my project for uComponents to work?

    Just add a reference to uComponents.Core.dll which you can get from the package or build from the source.
