How to get a Page name?

Question

Hello,
I have a dynamic page component portlet, which display different images depending upon page name.
Is there any APIs to get the current page name in pl/sql.
or is there any way to get the page name ?
Thanks
Sha

I can't help you with the Javascript option - don't know if this is possible.
A simple PL/SQL item type that demonstrates how to do this:
declare
page_id varchar2(100);
begin
page_id := WWPRO_API_PARAMETERS.GET_VALUE('_pageid','a');
htp.p('The page id is ' || page_id);
exception
when others then null;
end;
A custom item type procedure is even simpler - you can pass the page group id and page id directly to the procedure, so you don't need to call WWPRO_API_PARAMETERS.GET_VALUE to pull the pageid off the URL.
There is a very good example of using custom item type procedures in this submission on the Knowledge Exchange. You must register for Portal Developer Services to access the Knowledge Exchange.
If you are not familiar with PL/SQL item types and/or custom item procedures, please consult the documentation.
