[plugin] [ORPHAN] zem_link

hafnius · 2004-10-15 21:43:24

I am really missing a way of outputting the links in the link list. there are way to output them by category and so on, but nothing to single out one link that i would like to put in an article for instance.

Could this plugin be made to take a Link_id attribute so that:
<code>
<txp:zem_link link_id=“25”>foo</txp:zem_link>
</code>

Would output the link with the id = 25. That would be so cool. I will have a look at this to see if i can tweak it :)

Unfortunately, given the way the linklist tag is written, it’s not possible for a plugin to output the current link (there’s no $thislink). Doing so would require modifying the linklist tag.

I dont know i i did not explain myself good enough – it is not the current link i am after.

If i make a link in the link list to cnn.com and then write an article about tv it would be nice if i could output the link to cnn.com in the article without having to categorise it but simply calling it by its id.

If you already had gotten my drift i take the above bach. I am not qiute enough into TXP. But i am thinking that there must be away to do the above. If i can output an article by calling its id, shouldnt it be possible to do the same with a link?

Ah, with you now. Working on a new version.

Two new features:

Adds a ‘linkid’ attribute, as per Hafnius’ suggestion.
Can now be used as a self-closing tag when linking by article ID or link ID. The article/link title will be used as the link text in those cases. e.g:

<code><txp:zem_link href=“25” /></code> – link to article #25, with the article title as the link anchor text

<code><txp:zem_link linkid=“10” /></code> – link to link #10, with the link name as the link anchor text

How cool are you !!

Tested the linkid and it works perf. all the eamples are gone and replaced by foo but i guess you know this.

All that lacks now is that the id of the links is showed in admin > Images so that we dont have do look in the db to find the id of the link – maybe a feature request?

Could this elephant have any other name then ZEM :)

Yeah, something screwy with Textile.

It’s in the URL if you click or hover the link name in content/links.

Well that would be possible if the plugin had been made to be called by the link_title rather then the id. The problem with using the link_title is that it might not be unique, whereas the id is always unique.

Hi Zem, it would be great to have a attribute to make this plugin work with links to comments too. It just about adding #comment at the end, atm ive made my own plugin based on yours to do this, but i rather have it in yours :)

The key to use zem_link efficiently is to know ID number as fast as you can, maybe.
So I’ve decided to hack some php files to show IDs. Here’s what I did.

Show linkid at link page
Hack include/txp_link.php, added:

<code>column_head(‘id’).</code>

above

<code>column_head(‘link_name’,‘linksort’,‘link’,1,$dir).</code>

And then added:

<code>td($id).</code>

above

<code>td($elink).</code>

Sample1

Show articleid at writing page
Hack include_txp_article.php, change;

<code>echo ‘<a href=”?event=article’.a.‘step=edit’.a.‘ID=’.$ID.’”>’.$Title.’</a>’.br.n;</code>

into

<code>echo ‘’.$ID.’: <a href=”?event=article’.a.‘step=edit’.a.‘ID=’.$ID.’”>’.$Title.’</a>’.br.n;</code>

Sample2

To show lots of aticles at writing page

<code>“1 order by LastMod desc limit n”</code>

just change <code>n</code> any number you like. You can find where it should be by searching with your nice editor.

Thank you for your cool plugin Zem. I can’t imagine writing without your stuff!
