[solved] Re: Site images broke when using internal pretty urls

[180michael]

Hello all!

I'm having a similar problem but with anchors.

• Pretty urls are enabled and needed for SEO
• Links to anchors on the same page return the browser to the base URL + anchor (e.g., http://www.example.com/#myAnchor)
• Anchors work with {metadata showbase="false"} but images now do not work

Is there a way to have anchors and images working with pretty urls? Thanks for your help.

I'm having trouble posting -  sorry if this is a duplicate!!!!

Try using the anchor or cms_selflink tag - see Extensions, Tags.

Keep in mind that if you just use it will reference the root of the CMSMS install. So you have to reference the page you are on.  You can hard code the page so it is like

you might be able to use {$page_id}:: but if the page is a child of a parent page, the parent page will not be given.  It will not generate "parent-page/child-page/#your-anchor"

Another approach, is to modify the User Defined Tag I posted for rel="canonical" links to get the current page, (http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... #msg146490)

name this UDT something something like CurrentPage:

Code: Select all

global $gCms;
if ($gCms->variables['page_name'] !='') {
	$manager =& $gCms->GetHierarchyManager();
	$node =& $manager->sureGetNodeByAlias($gCms->variables['page_id']);
	
	$content =& $node->GetContent();
	if (isset($content) && is_object($content))
	{
		if ($content->GetURL() != '')
		{
		echo $content->GetURL();
		}
	}
}

Then call it as part of your anchor
and the HTML generated will be http://www.your-domain.com/your-page-alias/#your-anchor

This worked fine for me. Thank you!

I do wish it was a little easier for clients though who don't know or want to use smarty tags. How easy would it be to parse links for sites that are using pretty urls?

If you won't make an UDT you can use the var $page_alias

But good to know the UDT if  in an case the page_alias doesn't work
