get_the_identifier

$s->get_the_identifier()

Description

get_the_identifier() returns the unique identifier string for this slide. (the_identifier() prints it.)

Please note that while the identifiers are currently generated by PHP's uniqid(), this format is not guaranteed in the future, so your templates must not assume anything about the format that this_identifier() prints.

Normally you would call $s->the_identifier() inside your $s->has_slides() while loop.

Security Note: get_the_identifier() returns sanitised data, but if you use later mix the results of get_the_identifier() with some other kind of user-supplied input, it is vital that you run that result through WordPress' esc_html(), esc_attr() or esc_js() functions, depending on where you are going to output the data.

Parameters

None.

Usage Examples

Simple usage:

<?php while ($s->has_slides()): ?>
    <li>
        <div id="ts-mytemplate-<?php echo $s->get_the_identifier();?>">
            <h1><a href="<?php $s->the_link();?>"><?php $s->the_title(); ?></a></h1>
        </div>
    </li>
<?php endwhile; ?>

Would output, for example:

<li>
    <div id="ts-mytemplate-4faa26fcebcb7668442103">
        <h1><a href="http://example.com/2012/lorem-ipsum">Slide one title</a></h1>
    </div>
</li>
<li>
    <div id="ts-mytemplate-4faa26fcebcb7668443103">
        <h1><a href="http://example.com/2012/etian-at-risus-et">Slide two title</a></h1>
    </div>
</li>
