Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] zem_link
Zem_Link is doing something quite strange in 4.0.4
If I set my clean URL structure to root/title, it works fine
however, if I go root/section/title (or any other variation) the plugin still insists on using root/title URL, resulting in 404 errors
Switching to permlink fixes this problem but I miss having control of title attribute.
Any ideas?

In related news, the help section has gone completely bonkers on this plugin

zem_link 0.3 is broken for ages. You might have better luck here.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] zem_link
One note: the permlink tag is capable of linking to specific articles too.

Indeed it is, my fellow pastafarian. The only thing I don’t like about permlink is that it always puts title attribute “Permanent Link to this Article” on every link. This is okay for a blog, but for pro sites it’s just enough to grate on my perfectionist nerve. If there was some way to turn this off, I wouldn’t need zemlink.

I am butting in here, so I may be taking this out of context, but this was driving me nuts too! Thanks to asy_wondertag you can do this at least in your article/excerpt form.
<txp:asy_wondertag>
<txp:permlink class="perm" title="
<txp:rss_auto_excerpt length="150" linktext="" linkwraptag="" showlinkwithexcerpt="0" overrideexcerpt="1" striptags="1" />"><txp:title /></txp:permlink>

Er, you can: it can be used as a single tag, rather than wrapping, and that outputs just the url, so you can build the link however you like.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] zem_link
I notice that the plugin is now called wet_link. If I install 0.7, do I need to replace all the instances of <txp:zem_link /> in my site?

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] zem_link
No, wet_link processes zem_link tags as well. I just renamed the plugin as I realized that while I intended to offer just a fix for it which would work for TXP 4.0, it started to deviate more and more from the original version. So this renaming would hopefully end all confusion.
wet_link’s thread is here.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] zem_link
Hello Zem,
I’m not sure if your zem_link plug-in will fix my problem. Here’s my problem.
I’ve elected to not use the default TXP navigation tree. Instead, I’m using my own. I’ve figured out how to hyperlink to a “Page” on my site. Example: <a href=”<txp:site_url />about/”>About Us</a>
But when I try to link to a specific Article (replacing the Page name witht the “URL-only title”, such as this:
<a href=”<txp:site_url />our-history/”>Our History</a> OR <a href=”<txp:site_url />about/our-history/”>Our History</a>
the page does not come up. That said, how does one create hyperlinks to articles?
Thank you much for your time and work.

First: plugins that have [ORPHAN] in their subject title are not maintained by their author anymore. The support threads are still open because it’s possible that other plugin users can anwer support questions.
Second: you don’t need a plugin for what you want to do. Your code (without the closing slashes) should work, if it matches your permanent link mode setting (in Admin > Preferences). There is a better way though:
<a href="<txp:permlink id="123" />">Our History</a>where "123" is the ID of your ‘Our History’ article of course.
<txp:permlink /> will always display the URL matching your permanent link mode, so if that is set to /title it will give you http://site.com/our-history and if it is set to /section/title it will be http://site.com/about/our-history.
