Link to another page

[Trinione]

Hi:
New to CMSMS and loving it, especially since the code names Trinidad, Tobago, Scarborough are from my islands T&T!

Simple question really -  How can I link to a page in the system 'manually', that is - not via a menu link?

I am seeing the links pointing to say '/index.php?page=PageName', however, would this have an impact if I decide to switch to the Clean URLs later?

Also, is there a tag for this?

BTW, did my first customer install and training today and they absolutely love the EASE OF USE of CMSMS!

This is definitely the CMS for me, and I have tried some of 'the best' like Drupal, Mambo/Joomla, plus some. CMSMS is 'de damn ting self' as we say in Trinidad.

Thanks,
Trinione

Hi Trinione & welcome to CMSMS!

To link to an internal page, use the cms_selflink tag. You can use it like this:

{cms_selflink page='pagetitle' text='linktext'}

Thanks.

And I also realised that I can use the links (with the coconut trees) on the FCKEditor bar. Great stuff!

Sure we wonder...

Why are some of my links generated as "/index.php?page=40" and others as "/index.php?page=news" ? (cmsms 0.11.2)? Can I mass or hand-edit them to get the cleaner "page=mypage" syntax (I suspect google will prefer those...)

Hi, I'm new here CMSMadeEasy is a really great piece of software, I gotta say.

Just thought I would mention that in the FCKEditor, you can use the Insert/Edit Link button and use the following in the URL field

{cms_selflink href='alias'}

(Single quotes are needed, double quotes don't work.) This makes the editor more WYSIWYG

PS I am using 0.12.1.

JohnR,

I'm afraid I don't catch this one. What does it do ??

Hi, sorry for the delay! It generates

I just find it easier to use in the editor than the other form posted above.
