You can't do this (use function calls with arguments in templates. It's
intentionally designed to prevent programming in templates and your
fragment shows exactly why: you've now tightly coupled your template to
a single view and file structure.
Instead, pass in the URL you're wanting to test as a variable to the
template. Then test against the template variable.
