How to access a url parameter in template using Symfony (not within the action)?

Question

Using Symfony to access url parameters in an action like this

$this->getRequestParameter('myUrlParameter');

How can I access this parameter in the root template, where I am not within the action? I tried many things already like

echo $context->getRequest()->getParameter('pool');

and

echo $context->getParameter('pool');

Which didn't work. With

echo sfContext::getInstance()->getRouting()->getCurrentInternalUri();

I get the whole url - which is not what I want. I feel like there must be a simple way to access this information ...

The easiest thing would probably be to simply use $_GET. (However, you should think about whether your template is the right place to do this in the first place. Sounds like it might rather belong into the controller.) — C3roe

You can access the request object from the template directly like this:

$pool = $sf_request->getParameter('pool');

You need to pass it to the view via controller:

public function yourController(sfWebRequest $request)
{
    $this->myUrlParameter = $this->getRequestParameter('myUrlParameter');
}

Trying to access it directly, you are fighting with the framework, not using it.
