Url only links
Hi all,
Is there any way that it is possible to output only the url of <code><txp:link /></code>, say <code><txp:link_url /></code> for instance, I know this doesn’t work but added to give an idea of what I’m looking for.
What I would like to do is;
<code><dt class=“links-list”><txp:link /></dt>
<dd><txp:link_description /></dd>
<dd><a href=“url only here”>Visit site</a></dd></code>
Just to make the link really obvious.
Any help appreciated :)
Graham.

Re: Url only links
The only way I can think of is adding it to the link description, or make it the link title.

Hi Els,
I’m afraid I’m being a bit greedy and want the url, title and description. Could be a tag request I guess?
Cheers,
Graham.

Yep, or a plugin request.

Re: Url only links
You could probably do that with PHP, stripping the url away from the appropriate array and display it. Look at the source, or wait for a dev’ to tag along.

Re: Url only links
The funny thing is, according to the tag builder in the ‘form’ tab, there is a tag <txp:link_text /> (link text only). It just doesn’t seem to output anything…

Yeah I saw that here and tried it but nothing happened as you say.
Unfortunately being a bit of a newbie, plugins and php stripping are beyond me so I think I’ll just make do until I can grow some new brain cells ;)
Thanks for your replies, very much appreciated.
Graham.

Re: Url only links
I found a way. But you have to hack taghandlers.php.
Find (in function linklist, around line 207):
<code>
while ($a = nextRow($rs)) {
extract($a);
$linkname = str_replace(“& “,”& “, $linkname);
$link = ‘<a href=”’.doSpecial($url).’”>’.$linkname.’</a>’;
$linkdesctitle = ‘<a href=”’.doSpecial($url).’” title=”’.$description.’”>’.$linkname.’</a>’;
$thislink = $a;$out = str_replace(“<txp:link />”, $link, $Form);
$out = str_replace(“<txp:linkdesctitle />”, $linkdesctitle, $out);
$out = str_replace(“<txp:link_description />”, $description, $out);$outlist[] = parse($out);
}
</code>
and replace it with
<code>
while ($a = nextRow($rs)) {
extract($a);
$linkname = str_replace(“& “,”& “, $linkname);
$link = ‘<a href=”’.doSpecial($url).’”>’.$linkname.’</a>’;
$linkdesctitle = ‘<a href=”’.doSpecial($url).’” title=”’.$description.’”>’.$linkname.’</a>’;
$linkurl = doSpecial($url);
$thislink = $a;$out = str_replace(“<txp:linkurl />”, $linkurl, $Form);
$out = str_replace(“<txp:link />”, $link, $out);
$out = str_replace(“<txp:linkdesctitle />”, $linkdesctitle, $out);
$out = str_replace(“<txp:link_description />”, $description, $out);$outlist[] = parse($out);
}
</code>
You’ll then have a tag <txp:linkurl />.

Re: Url only links
My pleasure :)
I see now that in the code the second & is not shown as it should, this should be & # 3 8 ; (without the spaces).
