Find links to other articles from article screen?

Say I’m writing an article and want to link to a second article. Is there an easy way to find the second article’s URL without leaving the write tab?

I thought there was a plugin that let you do things like that, but I can’t find one.

Hi.

Why not to use this tag? Into your article body (Textile format):

<txp:permlink id="94" title="Read article...">Article...</txp:permlink>

Change id attribute with the desired article unique identifier (maybe the previous one; see documentation here).

An even better route might be to make a shortcode. That encapsulates everything so if the method of access changes or you want to alter or style the links you can do it in a single place.

But yes, the quicklink plugin is a good alternative.

That’s the one! But looks like it’s not maintained anymore. <sad trombone>

So, maybe you could use this (form name link):

<txp:if_yield name="id"><a rel="bookmark" href="<txp:permlink id='<txp:yield name="id" />' />"<txp:if_yield name="tooltip"> title="<txp:yield name="tooltip" />"</txp:if_yield>><txp:if_yield name="title"><txp:yield name="title" /></txp:if_yield></a>
</txp:if_yield>

Usage: <txp::link id="99" tooltip="Read" title="Article 99" />

Yeah, or embellish it slightly with some default goodness:

<if::yield name="id">
   <a rel="bookmark" href="<txp:permlink id='<txp:yield name="id" />' />"<if::yield name="tooltip"> title="<txp:yield name="tooltip" />"</if::yield>>
      <article::custom id='<txp:yield name="id" />'><txp:yield name="title" default='<txp:title />' /></article::custom>
   </a>
</if::yield>

That will default to the actual article title if you don’t specify one to override the link text. Untested, but something like that should work.
