CMS Linker (cms_selflink) valid link checking?

[Sphinx]

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how to make cms_selflink check if the page it links to is active (published) - if its not, I want the linker to skip the href setup so the link doesn't take the user to a 404.

Maybe its already possible to configure this, but I haven't found any way to do it.

Any ideas on where I should start and how this is best achieved?

TIA,

Michael

Have you actually been sent to a 404?  Normally if the page is not there, the {cms_selflink} tag outputs nothing, so there will be no link at all.

{cms_selflink href='home' assign='foo'}{if $foo != ''}something{/if}

cms_selflink is an abomination, and should be nuked, re-written, abolished, burned at the stake...

Got a laugh from that.
