Diego Figueroa	:	Hi all,

		I have a portlet and I am trying to get the current url with:

		String currentURL = PortalUtil.getCurrentURL(request);

		My current url is something like:

		http://mysite.com/user/diego/3/....

		however using the getCurrentURL() method above I get something like:

		/c/portal/layout?p_l_id=3071616

		instead of:

		/user/diego/3

		Is there another method that returns this more friendly URL?

		Thanks all!

		Diego.

Mazhar Anwar	:	I think you can try themeDisplay.getURLCurrent() method. Please check the signature in ThemeDisplay.java of portal source.

Sandeep Nair	:	Hi,

		Try doing this

		themeDisplay.getLayout().getFriendlyURL();

		Sandeep

Diego Figueroa	:	Thank you all for your input.

		I found the solution I wanted thanks to your information:

		PortalUtil.getLayoutURL(themeDisplay.getLayout(),themeDisplay);

		This gives me the complete URL that I wanted
