From JRoute to Route?

[SocketPup]

I was told JRoute was going to be phased out and no longer work on future versions of Joomla. The following code work(ed) well and gave me the output url I wanted:

Code: Select all

JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_content&view=category&id=9')

So after some trial and error I tried getting the same result with the new way of doing it, see below:

Code: Select all

Route::_(RouteHelper::getArticleRoute($this->item->slug, $this->item->catid, $this->item->language) . "&view=category&id=9");

I just wanted to know if this is the proper way of doing it. The result is what I want, but it might be it's still not done in a best-practice way. Any feedback would be most appreciated.

(to frame it in the right context, I want to add an url in my override template for Article, and have it take the user to the category of said id)

For get the category link should be:

Code: Select all

Route::_(RouteHelper::getCategoryRoute($this->item->catid, $this->item->language));

For get the category link should be:

Code: Select all

Route::_(RouteHelper::getCategoryRoute($this->item->catid, $this->item->language));

That code gives the following output:

/blomstradgard/index.php?view=category&id=2

And does not take me to the correct location.

Add a Menu Item (Itemid).
