How do I link to a specific article

A noob question, perhaps something which seems obvious, but I cannot seem to find any specific instructions on the subject.

Say I have a Textpattern article entitled “Rising to the Challenge” a vignette of the president of our organization. It is in the “Our Organization” section, ID #15. In the “About” page, say I have an html article which contains a short bio of the president. I want to create a link to the Textpattern article at the end of the bio. I would assume that there is some Textpattern tag which would create the link by calling on the Textpattern ID number. But I don’t see it. I see Textpattern article tags which would pull the entire article or the excerpt, Textpattern article tags which would return the ID or URL of the article or page which the tag is on, etc. But none for linking to a separate Textpattern article in the Textpattern site.

Am I missing something? Do I just need to create a regular html link <p>For more, read <a href="http://myurl.org/rising-to-the-challenge.html">Rising to the Challenge</a>.?

Re: How do I link to a specific article

You can also create a macro so as to lessen the typing. etc’s suggestion could be reduced to <txp:articlelink id="15" />.

Re: How do I link to a specific article

If it’s just a normal link to another article in the body text of your article, you can of course use the textile equivalent of your html snippet …

"Link Text":http://yourdomain.com/link-destination

… e.g in your case you would simply type this at the end of your body text:

For more, read "Rising to the Challenge":/rising-to-the-challenge

If that article is in a particular section, don’t forget to include that in the URL.

In addition to jacob’s proposal you can use the ID:

Re: How do I link to a specific article

Derek, by now you have guessed the answer to your question is no, there is not a Textpattern tag option that is easier than a regular hyperlink. The textile option is simple.

Should you wish to cross-link a number of internal articles, there is a plug to make it easier.

Re: How do I link to a specific article

Thanks for all the suggestions! Lots of options. There may not be a specific tag, but I figured there was some way to use txp tags or textile) to accomplish it. You guys are great.

Hi, singaz, and welcome to the forum.
wet_quicklink is a 2 file plugin: Have you made sure that you also installed (and activated) wet_peex? (Available from the same URL as above.)

Re: How do I link to a specific article

Hi, uli!
Hi, forum!

I installed 2 plugins
wet_quicklink.txt
wet_peex.txt
from
wet_quicklink-link-builder-for-textpattern

My sites on txp4.5.7 work fine.
When I installed the new version of txp4.6.2 and did not see the link on wet_quicklink.

Re: How do I link to a specific article

I just installed the two, and it seems to work. You find the link below the advanced options. (You activated the plugins, right?)
