How can i get full url to include in newsletter sent with Symfony2?

Question

I\'m going to use Symfony2 to sent periodically a newsletter to many users. I\'ve to include a permalink to the HTML email for those who experience problems in reading them

Answer 1

Update with Symfony 3:

use Symfony\Component\Routing\Generator\UrlGeneratorInterface;

$this->generateUrl('blog_show', array('slug' => 'my-blog-post'), UrlGeneratorInterface::ABSOLUTE_URL);
// http://www.example.com/blog/my-blog-post

Answer 2

TWIG

If this is within a twig template, use url('your route') instead of path('your route') to get the absolute URL.

Answer 3

With the router, of course

By default, the router will generate relative URLs (e.g. /blog). To generate an absolute URL, simply pass true to the third argument of the generate() method:

Perhaps your code might look like this

Symfony2

$url = $router->generate(
    'slug_route_name',
    array('slug' => $sent->getSlug()),
    true // This guy right here
);

Symfony3

use Symfony\Component\Routing\Generator\UrlGeneratorInterface;

$url = $router->generate(
    'slug_route_name',
    array('slug' => $sent->getSlug()),
    UrlGeneratorInterface::ABSOLUTE_URL // This guy right here
);
