Add-On Type(s)
Plugin
Tags
Facebook’s Like button requires a urlencoded URL. Rather than using PHP in our template, we built this light plugin to solve our problem.
The URL Encode plugin urlencodes your string to make it safe for Facebook’s Like Button or other applications.
The tag pair is simply:
{exp:url_encode}URL{/exp:url_encode}
Example usage:
{exp:url_encode}http://www.airtypestudio.com/{/exp:url_encode}
becomes:
http%3A%2F%2Fwww.airtypestudio.com%2F

This plugin works quite well, although it’s unfortunate they didn’t include variable parsing. For those interested in hacking, line 43 can be changed to the following to enable this functionality.
$this->return_data = urlencode($this->EE->TMPL->parse_globals($this->EE->TMPL->tagdata));

works. simple. would be nice if it used EE’s nice url encode too:
$this->EE->load->helper(‘url’);
$this->return_data = url_title($this->EE->TMPL->tagdata);

It works. ‘nuff said.

Great little add-on. Solved my problem mostly. Would love support for rawurlencode as well, as i’ll have to hack it up just a bit.

This simple plugin does exactly what it says it does. This plugin would get five stars out of me if it could handle the {site_url} tag.
