Creating link to different article with title by id

mericson · 2010-03-14 19:29:09

I would like to conveniently create a permlink by id with the title of the link within article content. I was hoping that I could do this:

<txp:permlink id=“123”><txp:title/></txp:permlink>

but the link title becomes the link of the containing article, not the permlink article.

I suppose the alternative would be:

<txp:article_custom id=“123”><txp:permlink><txp:title/></txp:permlink></txp:article_custom>

but that seems rather verbose. Seems like the former should work!

My solution became to create an article form called ‘url’, containing:

<txp:permlink><txp:title/></txp:permlink>

Then when I want the article link I can use

<txp:article_custom id=“123” form=“url”/>

Still seems like there should be a more straightforward way!

Try wet_link, eventually complemented by wet_quicklink.
