I use CMS MS 1.0.4. In Edit content Source View I create a link over image: , like it is in tag's help page. I click Save, Open this page again, go to Source mode, and instead of that link I have:

I think it's an editor's bug. Can anybody fix it?

{cms_selflink} produces links, so instead of you just type
{cms_selflink page="alias" image="next.png" text="Next"}

read the tag documentation uder extensions.

Yes, exept when you nead something more complex than just a text link or image link. Or You want some extra flexibility with image used as link. I.E. how you will set image width/height/class/id with {cms_selflink page="alias" image="next.png" text="Next"} ?

You're right. that's why i use User definded tags, or export variables to smarty.

you can make smarty variables from whitin modules like this:

Code: Select all

$smarty->assign('variablename', $localvariable);

or

Code: Select all

$smarty->assign('variablename', $this->somefunction(parameter, parameter));

and then use it in templates like {variablename}

the other option i know is to use a UDT like this:

Code: Select all

global $gCms;
$smarty =& $gCms->GetSmarty();
$variable = $smarty->get_template_vars('variablename');
$othervariable = $smarty->get_template_vars('othervariablename');

return '<a href="'.$variable.'">'.$othervariable.'</a>';

you need to be sure 'variablename' is a real variable or you've set it up. you can use {get_template_vars} in a template to display the available variables.

Hope i have helped. Cheers.

I am encountering the same problem:

Just paste the example code from the "href" attribute description in the {cms_selflink} tag help to a new page (while the editor's "Source" mode is active) and switch the "Source" view off and on again. The code gets all screwed up.

Example:


Switch to HTML view and back, after this:


This obviously an error and should be fixed. Maybe the solution could be to have the parser ignore every " inside tags (if they are not parsed at all, I don't know that).

okay, that last message tells me that there is an issue with the wysiwyg editor, not with {cms_selflink}.  to prove this concept you could try turning the wysiwyg off (in user settings) and see if it still happens.
